Meine 1. große Kreuzfahrt die die Erwartungen bei weiten übertroffen haben. Ein tolle Crew von bis die, uns eine solche Reise mit ihrem Einsatz und freundlicher Bedienung ermöglicht haben. Hauptärgernis was sich immer wieder durch die gesamte Reise zog, war das ich einer der wenigen auf dem Schiff gewesen bin der den vollen Preis und auch sonst keine Vergünstigungen bekommen habe.
A fantastic early season voyage on the Plancius with abundant wildlife and magnificent destinations. The entire crew and staff did a great job throughout, and the Expedition Leader, Ali, worked tirelessly to ensure we made the most of the opportunities to land or Zodiac cruise.
As a keen birder, I found the Plancius to be an exceptional platform for seawatching, with abundant outside deck space throughout the vessel.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this trip.
Unsere Reise auf der Plancius war perfekt. Das gesamte Team des Schiffes hat alles getan, um uns die Tier und Pflanzenwelt, die Geschichte und Gegenwart der Region zu vermitteln und Tierbegegnungen "hautnah" zu ermöglichen. Begeisterte Empfehlung.
An excellent early season journey. The staff were superb.
It was a fantastic trip!! The way how Oceanwide managed everything is extraordinary. The landings ashore were so well organised: plenty of SPACE and TIME !!!!!! Fantastic how we could do our own thing. It was my fifth trip with Oceanwide, and this one I enjoyed the most!
Thanks a lot to the staff for their patience and help during the landings and a special thanks, to the expeditionleaders.
Tout fut parfait : équipage du bateau, personnel de service bar restaurant, équipe de guides de Ali, exposés, promenades à terre pour côtoyer la faune sur leur plages, leurs rivières, leurs glaciers,
oui j'ai une photo à partager : cliente gravement malade évacuée avec professionnalisme à un hôpital Argentina, bravo
It was the most fantastic experiance ever. No words. Made me so happy (even decided to go with the ortelius immediatly after)
I am short of words to express my feelings about the trip: the places we visited were unique, guides were top level, food was realllly good, the ship is modern and very sea worthy, atmosfere was joyful; keep this direction of travel
This expedition has been exceptional! Even when the weather was not good, we had activities : the staf was efficient and very friendly. It was an exceptionnal experience in another world.
Kann man nur weiter empfehlen
Don’t think about it, just book it! Also, the Drake Passage can be, and it was in our case, very chil, relaxed and easy…so, don’t worry about that!
Cheers and have fun (-:
Die Reise ans "Ende der Welt" war eine tolle Erfahrung und hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt, z.T. übertroffen. Schade, dass wir an der Antarktischen Halbinsel nicht anlanden konnten wegen des vielen Eises. Ich würde allen Leuten empfehlen, die Reise zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zu planen. Die Guides waren alle top. Sie haben unglaublich viel geleistet und viel zum Erfolg beigetragen (Anlandungen, Vorträge!). Überhaupt war die gesamte Schiffscrew grossartig - von der Kabine bis zur Küche, von der Brücke bis zum Restaurant Service. Alle freundlich, aufgestellt und hilfsbereit. Ein besonderes Lob verdient die Küche. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, vielfältig und frisch.
Ganz toll finde ich die Filmzusammenfassung und die wunderbaren Bilder von Yves, die wir an Ende der Reise entgegennehmen durften. Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese tolle Erinnerung. Ich sehe sie mir jeden Tag mind. einmal an.
My expedition cruise to the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica was phenomenal! The expedition guides, crew, and ship staff were first class - always happy to answer questions, chat about nature, and help when needed. Very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and glad to help in any way. The ship was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The food was amazing and plentiful! You do not go long without food on this ship - the variety was mind blowing. Great options and so delicious! The Captain and Expedition Leader really took the time to make well thought out decisions based on the current conditions and got us off the ship as much as possible. We had so many landings and zodiak cruises and spent a lot of time exploring. The ports were absolutely gorgeous and filled with history and remarkable wildlife! My favorite landing was Gold Harbor in South Georgia - I have never seen so many incredible species everywhere! We were surrounded by wildlife and it was like being on another planet. This adventure far exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful for this journey! I completely understand why people keep coming back! Hoping to do the Arctic with Oceanwide soon!
This was a most amazing experience - landscape, glaciers, wildlife and tiny plants were awe inspiring. I loved the ice and seeing a polar bear on the ice was my highlight among many highlights. The silence and remoteness was life changing. We never wanted for anything - both crew and guides were marvelous; the former with comfort and wonderful food; the latter offering great activities, the sharing of their knowledge and care and concern for the environment. A superb team.
Fabulous trip. Expedition is the way to enjoy the out of doors
