One of the best vacations I've had. Well organised, variety of scenery and activities, lots of local information provided, opportunity for peace and reflection as well. (more)Lorna Macann
The entire trip was magical and I loved almost every moment. The landings were
supplemented with presentations that helped me to put my experiences into the
perspective of wider Antarctica issues.

Respect where you are and its beauty. (more)Edmund Raczkowski

This trip was excellent. I can't speak highly enough of the Aurora staff and the Russian crew. (more)Barbara Shore
Awesome, a life changing experience....I have so many wonderful memories, it is difficult to summarise. The combination of the stunningly vast wilderness of Antarctica, the glacial icebergs and the beautiful King Penguins stand out, however so many other things will live in my memory. (more)Nick Russen
I can scarcely tell you how pleased we were with the trip. The ship was a lovely ship, and our cabin was well-appointed and very spacious. Even with all of our polar gear, we had storage space we didn’t use — unheard-of on a cruise ship. (more)Don Shay

£3,850

Trip of a lifetime....Day one zodiac outing. We were so lucky, ten minutes after leaving the ship we had three humpbacks surface right next to our zodiac, they stayed for about 10 minutes and put on a great show. (more)Bruce Denwood
Crossing the Drake Passage on our return home in a force 10 Gale. So exciting. Plus all our Zodiac trips. (more)Gillian Mason

Excellent...The whole trip was amazing and met all our expectations and more. The first view of an iceberg floating past the ship was magical. (more)Catherine Connolly
5 out of 5; 10 out of 10; the best of the best!! (more)D Shumate
The whole vacation was absolutely brilliant. Antarctica is the most astonishing place - incomparable and impossible to describe. A great privilege to stand on
its shores. Humbling to share the penguins' world! (more)Penny Wade

US $6,695

Memorable parts?
Seeing the interplay between the animals, icebergs, glaciers, sea and sky.
Tips?
First: TAKE THE TRIP TO ANTARCTICA. It is unforgettable.
If Miami is not on a direct route to Buenos Aires, fly there directly.Be sure to bring the right clothing. Being out on the water or a hill is COLD with the wrong clothes. Spend as much time on the bridge of the ship as possible. Go to all of the lectures. Meet new people
Local benefits?
No people to benefit in Antarctica.

The most memorable part of the vacation was the whales swimming really close to my kayak... A fantastic adventure. (more)Caroline Blagg
In a nutshell, the trip could not have been better. It was fantastic. 5 star, 10 out of 10, couldn't have been better. I'm not sure when I'll be able to make another "exotic" trip, Responsible Travel will for sure be top of my list when I do. Thanks all of you. (more)Roger Bilder

So many highlights - Kayaking among glaciers and around icebergs with humpback whales, penguins and seals. (more)Arlene Weingart
The entire expedition and crew were amazing, but I'd have to say our wedding was the most memorable, although the polar plunge comes in a close second
place, lol! (more)Danny Whiting
Best bits: The close sighting of a pod of Orca attacking a Humpbacked Whale and penguins; The ideal size of the ship and friendliness of the other passengers and crew. (more)Roger Labbatt
From
£11,625
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Stunning Antarctic views, penguin colonies, whales ... Kayaking, swimming in Antarctic Ocean!
Tips?
As the weather in Antarctica is highly unpredictable, it is advisable to have enough travel insurance. There is always a chance of the trip being cancelled
because of adverse weather conditions. There is no refund even if the trip is cancelled.
Local benefits?
Yes
Overall rating?
A lifetime experience (more)KK Chan
From
£5,295

Memorable parts?
A fantastic trip to Antarctica most memorable for crossing the antarctic circle.
Tips?
Do your research, we booked with the operator via Responsible travel but discovered that the ship is owned and run by another operator with whom you can book directly. The operator we booked with did not add anything extra on the contrary not particularly customer focused or friendly, so the operator of the boat should get all of the credit for Environmental Sustainability etc.... (more)Malcolm Salisbury
From
£6,875
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing the Antarctic wildlife up close, the fascinating lectures on board from the very knowledgeable expedition team, the fantastic, friendly staff on board
MS Midnatsol.
Tips?
Don't over pack the thermals! You only really wear them for landings so one set of outers/inners is fine.
Bring a camera with a zoom lens.
Local benefits?
Yes, we were carefully instructed about how to behave on landings. We were guided and monitored carefully to protect the wildlife.

It was all fantastic. The first visit to a penguin colony was amazing, but the best was probably our visit to Adie Cove. No cruise had been there before and it was named after the lady who ran our cruise. 11 out of 10.... (more)Lawrence Bradley
The whole trip from the time we boarded the ship to disembarkation. The most memorable thing was not getting sea sick the ship is that stable...The best ever.
(more)David Lohan
This was the most incredible vacation - the staff on our ship were so efficient and hospitable, the landings were well managed and offered a diverse range of activities (hiking, sliding down the slopes on our stomachs, seals/penguins/birds - and the occasional whale), fascinating lectures, and a wonderful small ship environment.

Excellent. Trip of a lifetime. (more)Audrey Nice
An absolutely stunning vacation thanks, just magic! The most exciting part was very close encounters with whales :0) ... Rate vacation 9/10, excellent! (more)Sally Hawkins
No words that I can write nor pictures that I can show will ever capture the magic, the feeling and the mood of Antarctica. You simply have to go there for that. It was beyond compare utterly beautiful in every way. (more)David Oates

Interacting with the wildlife in Antarctica was the most memorable part of the vacation. (more)Robert Pecoraro
All of it was memorable, but if I had to pick it would be my first sight of Antarctica which was at sunrise, wow! And my 30 minute dive with a leopard seal. But it was all amazing. (more)Stacy Valentine
Most memorable was diving around the ice bergs and snorkelling with the leopard seal. Real WOW factor. (more)Judith Bewell
From
US $23,000
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The sub antarctic islands, wildlife and the icebergs.
Tips?

Local benefits?
There are no people, but the environment is excellent and getting better as
recovery from last 2 centuries of exploitation has taken place. Nz and Aust
governments should be congratulated on the feral pest controls.

Up there with the big ones. (more)Robert Mock
