Beyond words ...
My husband and I have just finished the Basecamp trip on Plancius. We are not into cruises but as this was the only way to get to Antarctica we did it and have no regrets. Apart from Antactic scenery, wildlife and the remoteness being stunningly beautiful, the staff on Plancius really topped the trip off ... every one of them. The guides went out of their way to make each day full of land activities and interesting lectures .... even piling us back onto the zodiacs 10 minutes after we'd got back on the ship as a lone Emperor Penguin had been spotted. The cabin was spacious and comfortable (the photos photos don't do it justice) and the food was of a high standard. It was a fantastic trip and I really can't think of one negative about it.

Once in a lifetime: so glad I did it!
My Falkland Islands - South Georgia - Antarctica trip with Oceanwide was an unforgettable experience, not only on a wildlife/nature level, but the ship, its staff and the expedition team all contributed to making it the best experience possible. I can only recommend. No hesitation: book, go and make sure you respect nature and its wildlife when you do!

Journey of a lifetime, thanks to a wonderful crew!
Just came back from an awe inspiring trip to Antarctica. Jaw dropping nature and wildlife, fantastic landings and zodiac cruises. Huge compliment to the fantastic crew and guides who clearly love what they do and went above and beyond to get the absolute most out of this trip. Definitely one to remember forever and can't wait to join a next expedition. Can't recommend Oceanwide enough!

100% glad we chose Oceanwide!
This was an amazing trip. We had so many fantastic experiences - seeing the Emporer perguins was particularly special, but we enjoyed all our expeditions. The expedition staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, but all the staff were great. I am reluctant to name names beacause everyone was so fantastic, but Gary was a willing source of information all the time, Sara did a wonderful job of organising us all and had a particular enthusiasm that added a lot to our trip, Chloe introduced us to the love of plankton and took us on a wild zodiac ride, Werner did a fantastic job of the powerpoint that we got to keep- and show to all our friends. We had lots of interesting lectures. The bridge crew were so helpful, and it was a real bonus to be able to go on the bridge. If it should happen that this is the only Antarctic trip we ever get to do, I will always be glad we chose this one.

Superb trip
Once you get there the days are packed - its har dot be on deck enough to catch all the whale sightings but then you get one in the zodiac or kayak! Apart from the pre departure information the trip was perfect - the packing list is not tailored to antartica at all so ankle hiking boots - useless, gaiters useless etc ...

If you get the chance - just do it!
The adventure of a lifetime, spending time in the outdoors, getting up close to nature, in the experienced hands of an expert team.

Amazing trip to Antarctica
We were in Antarctica with the MS Plancius over Christmas and New Year. We slept through the Drake Passage crossing very well with the help of the medication and managed to jump off thanks to the advice from the board doctor. Luckily we had very good weather throughout the entire trip, so we were able to experience and see a lot of wildlife. The entire board crew (service, guides, reception, housekeeping and captain) were coordinated so that short-term changes to plans worked smoothly. The specialist lectures were professional and worth knowing, the support was exceptional and the program was very varied! In all a wonderful, extraordinary experience. We are already planning our next tour to the Arctic to see the polar bears ;-)

Best trip ever
This was the perfect trip. Very professional, friendly and helpful staff. Amazing landscapes and many opportunities to see wild life. All the optional activities very well organised. Fortunately, we had perfect weather, so no activity has been cancelled. Highly recommended!

Bucket list trip!
From the crew to the experience itself, the trip was absolutely amazing! I was so well taken care of during the entire trip all I had to do was enjoy as much as I can! The food and activity options are so abundant you are for sure going to get what you prefer. I never wanted to tip a trip so badly until this one.

A well organised, incredible experience

I am thoroughly impressed with this trip and its realisation by Oceanwide, and I consider myself very lucky to have been able to experience Antarctica this way. We booked through our local travel agent to get flights included in the package, and read through all the descriptions and reviews, but this trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We understood that once in Antarctica, the possibilities in trip was heavily weather dependent, but we didn't expect that the staff and guides would be so invested in giving us the best experience possible in the conditions, and didn't realise that they had the freedom and a wealth of experience to change the itinerary and make the best out of every day. We did end up having the best weather we could have had, and enjoyed every moment aboard Plancius - except the Drake Passage, where even with medication, I vomited for a day and half straight. I can't say enough praise for Pippa, George, Koen, Steffi, Carina, Marco, Brian, Tanja, Patricia, Owain and Dave for their wealth of knowledge, dedication, and friendliness. There was a wonderful vibe on the ship from all staff. To make the most of it, the trip can be truly fantastic with the right attitude

The Fascinating Voage
Everyday was filled with excitement one way or another. I enjoyed every second of the voyage. The operation was seamless. The activities, camping, kayaking and mountaineering, were exciting and memorable. The landing and Zodiac cruise were well executed and enjoyable. The Expedition Leader Pippa was flexible and effective. Her decision on changing the plan so all passengers could observe two large groups of killer whales gave us a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy the beauty of killer whales swimming in the ocean. Her bonus offer of a Zodiac cruise in Spert Island on the New Year’s Eve enabled us to enjoy the fantasy world filled with mesmerizing icebergs and rocks. All the Expedition Guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and skillful. All the lectures were fascinating and educational. The Christmas and New Year Eve celebrations were especially cheerful. All the meals were delicious. The ship was clean, the staffs were friendly, the Lounge was well equipped with books, games, cards, drinks, and snacks. I love the voyage and would highly recommend it to others.

Oceanwide Hondius expedition review
Amazing, staff are lovely, place is amazing, service is excellent, food is delicious. Good customer service. Passengers need to improve their behaviour and follow the rules and instructions that were clearly given by staff. Lack of landings due to bird flu but staff handle this well and still made sure that the trip was excellent.

Incredible trip

The trip was absolute perfection. The staff are wonderful and the excursions are fun. Really not a single complaint about that aspect of the trip. The one complaint I do have is that they don't test for Covid and someone clearly had it on our ship because the last day I contracted it and now the whole family is suffering. It wouldn't be too much to ask to test 150 people since it's a cruise that lasts two weeks.
