Antarctica cruise review: Exceeded all Expectations

Highlights: Snowshoeing, Antarctic Camping, Kayaking, Basecamp, Antarctic Fur Seal, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, Leopard Seal, Wandering Albatross, Weddell Seal, Hiking

Oceanwide and their staff provided the best adventure that we have experienced in our 60 years. The snowcapped mountains, whales, penguins, seals, zodiac rides, kayaks, staff friendliness/knowledge and the quality of the food was above & beyond our expectations. The Drake Passage was not a 'lake' but it also was not the 'shake' we were expecting so this made most passengers very happy. Well done Oceanwide.
