Exceeded expectations

by CJ James

Departure in December 2023

What an amazing adventure. From the 40+ killer whales surrounding Orteluis when we were barely out of the Drake passage to the amazing ever changing weather and landscapes of Antarctica. You can not imagine how awesome this place is. The expedition team were all passionate experts in their field and the expedition leader (Chris) did everything he possibly could to get us ashore, always managing expectations with clear communication and consistently delivering. Absolutely enjoyed every minute of the expedition - the activities, the comfortable ship, the amazing food, the happy crew and the diversity of passengers. If you want a real adventure you can’t go wrong with this trip.Text
