Antarctica cruise review: Saving my pennies for my next trip with Oceanwide!

Highlights: Antarctic Fur Seal, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Leopard Seal, Antarctic Petrel

A first-class experience with incredible crew, staff, teachers and co-passengers. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined what I saw and experienced when visiting Antarctica. As a seasoned traveler and passionate environmentalist, I was invigorated and joyfully surprised at all moments. The professionalism and hospitality was top notch, and I can't go without giving the dining room and cleaning staff the biggest of props for working their butts off to make us all feel at home the entire time we were on the ship. Can't wait to travel with Oceanwide again!
