Recensies

My expectation were exceeded by a large margin. It was the best holiday of my life and worth every penny! The trip across the Drake Passage was quite smooth and we arrived in Antartica on a glorious sunny day. It was spectacular. The staff was professional and very friendly. There was never a boring moment and we were on the go all the time. The wildlife was amasing to see ; penguins, seals, whales and birds and the scenery breathtakingly beautiful. Being able to go on to the bridge of this very modern vessel was a real thrill. The food was excellent - my compliments to the maitre de and kitchen staff. I cannot think of anything to complain about. Super ... thank you!

Wonderful excursion. Clean boat, rooms, wonderful staff and good food.

We knew the trip would be good but it exceeded all expectations. The intimate environment with only 100 passengers meant that the expedition team could get to know me and me them. This made for a much more connected cruise. The Antarctic ice, icebergs, birdlife, penguins, seals and whales were amazing and abundant. We had fortunate weather and experiences. While there was some luck, our leader Ali made itineraray changes in consultation with the captain, crew and weather info that made the trip comfortable and experiences amazing. An outdoor dinner in Paradise Bay was truly paradise and memorable. Hats off to Ali as a great leader and calm reassuring voice for passengers to hear on a daily basis. She was amazing. We maxed out zodiac opportiunities and donned snow boots for hill climbs and saw steam on a volcanic beach arising from the shore. Whale time was up close and personal with two very curious humpbacks as amused by us as we were by them. The trip was my wife's idea and she was over the moon with the experience as I was. Many thanks. See you on Plancius in the Arctic with luck.

My trip to Antarctica was a truly incredible experience, everything was amazing and Ali as Expedition leader and her team did everything to make it happen and get the most out of it! Thank you guys very much for this adventure of my lifetime :-)

I just arrived back home yesterday from Ushuaia and can't stop thinking about the amazing trip to Antarctica. Everything has been great, of course the place, but also very happy with the crew and all the people in the vessel. Thanks a lot to all of you for making this the travel of my life!

It was the most awesome experience ever! Oceanwide exceeded our expectations and more! We came into the cruise thinking it would be a boring 4 days at the Drake Passage but they have kept us alive and interested in their workshops. The guides were all polar experts and we learned so much about wildlife, nature and our beautiful planet. It was such an educational honeymoon for us! We were so cared for from food and safety and also the fact that they were wanting us out of the ship and doing activities as much as they can. We will be booking another Polar Adventure with you guys soon! Keep up the fantastic work!

Excellent Expedition Team (Especially Adam) Excellent hospitality (especially food) Excellent sailing Excellent sightings Excellent itinerary Excellent vessel Excellent journey

Fantastic viatge en tots els sentits tan per ruta, barco, estaf, serveis etc. La amabilitat de tots ens faran recordar aquest com un viatge-expedicio inoblidable. Si calgués possar una observació aquesta seria el idioma si bé en Ben, Koen, Sara, Pierre i d'altres varem suplí el desconeixement

We dreamed of this trip for 26 years before finally pulling the plug and spending the money. For us it would be a once in a lifetime experience. And it turned out to be everything we'd dreamed of, and more. The ship was billed as "well accommodated, but not luxurious". Well, sorry, but heated towel racks are my idea of luxury. Everything from the accommodations to the expertise and professionalism of the crew to the emphasis on minimizing our impact on the environment just fit beautifully with what we'd dreamed of all those years. The food was outstanding … well, except for the dining room coffee, which was surprisingly awful. But the coffee machine in the passenger lounge served well enough, and we took to just going upstairs for our after-meal cup. So that worked out well anyway. We LOVED the crew … professional, accommodating, and informative. The seminars and presentations were well done, and added a great deal to the overall experience. We're so glad we chose Oceanwide for our dream trip. So now, of course, we have to figure out how to choose them again for a trip to the other pole … :)

The entire trip was an unforgettable and life changing experience. The expedition staff were very knowledgeable and informative about the landings, wildlife and environment. The guides always made sure that we were safe and made the most of every moment. If you get the chance to go on this trip, don't hesitate, it's worth every penny!

These ten days of adventure exploring the Antarctic Region was the thrill of a lifetime. This expedition delivered more than what I expected in terms of educational seminars, zodiac cruises, landings, and ship amenities. The Naturalists and Crew are top notch- full of energy, helpful, and happy.

This trip exceeded our expectations! We felt like we were in a dream! The team was perfect, made sure we our trip was perfect! Can not thank Ocean Wide enough! Already planning our next trip:)

The crew and expedition staff were excellent in every respect. Well done.

This journey was on our bucketlist for a long time. It was amazing. Great crew, from hotel staff , kitchen staff, till expedition crew. We really enjoyed the birds, the whales and especially the pinquins and the lectures. We where very lucky with the weather, so we were able to make many landings. We were impressed how much effort was made not to leave a footprint on the landing site. We always had to clean our boots and clothing very well (so that no seeds were transferred). We where also lucky to had a up-grade to a very nice cabin. We came home with a lot off pictures and memories.

This 100 passenger ship was ideal for minimising sea sickness and maximising bird and mammal sightings.
