You have to be there to really SEE it

by Cees Luiten

Departure in February 2023

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Hondius

Highlights: Basecamp

I have seen pictures and clips on youtube before I went to Antarctica, but it does not compare closely to really being there. The experience of being there in person is so overwhelming and satisfying, its truly indiscribable. I even had a moment that the tears came up for I was truly happy, being in such a beautifull place. The crew and staff of the Hondius make you feel welcome and do everything possible to make the trip a trip of a lifetime. So friendly and helpfull and with a good feeling of humor. I am very thankfull. Also the catering gets a 10+ for food and staff. Good food and friendly fast service. I really do not know what could be done to make the trip better, it was perfectly organised.Text
