I book the expedition just last minute few days before.. i was travelling in south america since few months.. bolivia and argentina.. i hear about some oeople in salar de uyuni then i decide to ask.. and i was super lucky to find a spot on plancius for this aantatmrtica peninsula expedition.. i was celebrating also my bday few days after the boarding.. and i can say it was the best week bday ever.. everything on board was maniacal perfect… only thanks for that 😊🙌🏽

Trip exceeded expectations. Very well planned and managed. Flexible and adaptable to changing weather conditions. From dropping the anchor we could all be on a beach in half an hour or less. Staff always helpful with cheerful smiles. A lot of thought had clearly gone into each days activity. The captain said it was in the top three of the trips he had done. Not sure if that was because of the weather or sightings or a mixture of both. The plan certainly had to be adjusted at times to deal with weather conditions but the expedition staff made their own luck with their hard work.

An amazing trip with fantastic Expedition guides. The captain was also fabulous. He detoured just so we could see some wildlife that not all the zodiacs got to see. Of course we kept distant. But the kindness of the gesture was incredible. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the staff really interacted with the guests! I was worried about traveling solo, but I ended up loving it and a lot of that was due to the staff and crew!

Expedition was more than I ever expected.

Excellent trip, very interesting & informative. Guides really knew their topics. All staff, & I truly mean everyone guides, cleaning staff & kitchen staff were excellent, so friendly & welcoming

Everything was perfection! Weather, animals, landscape, staff & crew The staff and crew made me feel welcomed and cared for! I felt safe passing through the Drake passage. However, the food could use a bit of an improvement

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this trip incredible! There is nothing I would have changed about the experience. The crew members were personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The way in which the logistics were handled getting everyone on each excursion, zodiac cruise, and landing were impressive. I heard passing comments from other passengers stating the same. Again, I cannot say enough about the quality of the staff on the ship. A big thanks to Marcel, Michael, all of the guides, and all of the staff for making this experience second to none.

This was my third trip to the Antartic and ;by far the best! We had 22 expedition staff members to guide us through our activities - they were from all over the world and extrememely qualified.. We were educated and taken care of in the best way!!!

my best vacation ever!! A dream came true and the crew made it possible along with the great weather we had.

I'm going to focus on just one aspect of what was a wonderfully memorable trip, and that was the hard work, dedication and professionalism of the entire crew and staff. On a trip like this, you don't want to just feel comfortable, you want to feel that you're in competent, capable and safe hands, and this is how I felt every day during our cruise--absolutely first-class in this respect!

My daughter and I had the trip of a lifetime! It was amazing! The ship was comfortable and performed well. The crew were outstanding in their execution of their duties and engagement with the passengers. The expedition crew was frosting on the cake. So knowledgeable about the animals and the region. They were excellent presenters of their lectures and very personable, accessible, warm and friendly with the passengers. We were very fortunate to have weather on our side. We were able to make every landing except the last one. The wildlife was abundant. We saw in all, probably a million penguins, of six varieties, four species of seals, humpback whales and many birds. Everyday we were in awe of the landscapes, animals, and history. The trip brought to our attention the importance of healthy oceans and ocean animals. I will never forget this adventure. It has encouraged me to go to the Arctic.

I really enjoyed this trip. I have a few points of criticism. 1. Living in the US, I'm used to tipping for good service. However, the policy of pooling all tips and distributing equally to staff seems wrong. No doubt your captain and hotel manager are well paid. Do they need the same tip as the less well paid staff? It seems to me that the higher paid crew should opt out of getting tips in favor of those paid less. 2. The illness prevention policy needs rethinking. You require covid vaccination, but did not require a negative test. We were both in good health upon boarding. We tested negative for covid before leaving home and before boarding (antigen test). On the ship I noticed many people coughing and sneezing, but not wearing masks. No mention of masks was made, nor any recommendation offered on respiratory hygiene in the opening briefing. On day 6, I became ill and positive for covid. I acquired Covid on your ship. Could have avoided this with better education and a pre-boarding testing program. 3. Oral presentations by staff were often not very good.. Charlotte, Lothar, Pippa, Chloe: excellent. Others could use more training and feedback

The food and rooms were nice. The staff was pleasant and informative. They tried to get us into as many landings for wildlife viewing as possible. My favorite location was South Georgia Island where we say numerous seals and penguins. The vessel is very stable.

Super organisiert und aus dem Wetter das Beste gemacht

We had a marvellous holiday, enjoyed the junior suite and joined in all the zodiac expeditions. The food was excellent. The ship was very comfortable. The staff were second to none. Pippa and Michael need a special mention because they were first class. It was a trip of a lifetime. We saw every bird and animal we expected to see except Orca but we can live without that. I would recommend Oceonwide to everyone!
