An incredible adventure

by Jim Howson

Departure in December 2021

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Kayaking, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Fin Whale, Leopard Seal, Minke Whale, Wandering Albatross, Snow Petrel

I was very impressed by the Oceanwide operation. The guide staff was highly qualified, most of them with advanced degrees in their fields. They were all personable and eager to share information and experiences. The ship’s crew all strived to provide the best experience possible. We traveled during the COVID pandemic and the company and crew worked hard to keep the ship clean and passengers safe. This trip to Antarctica was a “bucket list” trip for me and I am so glad that it was with Oceanwide. I highly recommend Oceanwide for anyone looking to make an Antarctic or Arctic trip.
