Amazing Antartica Adventure
by Wendee Schavocky
Departure in March 2020
The Oceanwide Expeditions Basecamp Antartica Cruise was amazing on every level! I couldn’t have asked for a better Antarctica experience. The expeditions, lectures, meals and excursions were outstanding. The entire staff and crew were dedicated to creating a once in a life time experience for each and every one of us. I will never forget our first day in Antarctica, and our very 1st Zodiac ride. How exhilarating it was to float with the Humpbacks, patiently watching the water to see where they would surface next. The sound they made with their blowholes is something I will never forget. The knowledge and passion of all the expedition leaders was truly inspiring. Oceanwide has a special place in my heart not only for the Antarctica experience but also for how they safely navigated getting us home during the Covid19 crisis. I am forever grateful for the leadership at Oceanwide Expeditions. Their level headed behind the scenes support was certainly critical to the success of our safe journey home. I highly recommend them for a trip you will never forget. I hope to cruise with Oceanwide Expeditions again.
