Maybe expensive, but worth every penny!!!,

by Retha Davis

Departure in January 2023

Modern vessel, great staff and expedition leaders, many opportunities to kayak to shore or cruise harbors and bays. Excellent food and plenty of it - often too much!!! Excellent lectures, guides often joined our table for dinner which was great for additional conversation. Had a day or two where weather conditions did not allow for getting off, but expedition director and captain worked to create other opportunities. Saw an unbelievable number of penguins, seals, elephant seals, aquatic birds and more. Even several whales including one that swam under the zodiac!!! Hotel manager and his staff were very accommodating and super friendly. This is a 5-star trip and would highly recommend it. I especially loved the Falklands and South Georgia!!!
