Excellent food and excellent company. Charles really knew his stuff. (more)Kevin Sheil
The scenery was breath taking. Sun rises and moon-sets which I have never seen before. The sunlight, being at 69 or 70N was special and almost spectral and the colours were incomparable. (more)Catherine Morrow
The spectacular scenery. The peacefulness once moored up for the night. In the morning going up on deck and seeing clear blue skies, beautiful colours of the sunrise across the still waters. (more)Barbarat Mallia

Memorable parts?
The highlight of the trip for me was always going to be South Georgia, which has fascinated me for years and entirely lived up to my very high expectations. What a stunningly beautiful place! We were extremely fortunate as we approached the island because there was no cloud cover and we could see the full magnificence of the snowy peaks in all their glory - a rare occurrence apparently. During three whole days around this incredible island, we made a numerous landings and... (more)Roger Bilder

Seeing a mother polar bear and her two cubs walking on the ice floes walking along them then diving in and swimming to the next one. The cubs following on behind her. Fabulous!

Local benefits?

Overall rating?
The vacation was amazing, trust your skipper was great at sailing the boat but not very good with information about the islands. We would ask him a question
and 90% of the time it was i hate that island, just sit and have a coffee. We had a lot of wasted time waiting. (more)Debra Klein

The whole trip was amazing, but I loved the whales and penguins the most! Go for it! Antarctica is truly special place! Be prepared for the high possibility of rough sea while passing through the Drake! That was really rough on our way back but it was worthy!! (more)Eva Pekarova
There are so many highlights that it is impossible to sensibly list them all. I would say the sheer majesty of the Antarctic landscape stands out along with the
opportunity to be really close to wildlife such as penguins, seabirds and seals. (more)Nigel Wingate

Memorable parts?
Being "on the water" was exhilarating! When the weather was good, it was glorious, and when the weather was stormy, it was exciting.
Tips?
Miminize luggage. Storage space is modest. Layers are necessary. Don't forget the rain gear. Be flexible. Much of the itinerary is dictated by weather and tides. The vacation providers office staff are very kind to help with arrangements. Try to take time before/after the cruise to visit Oban and Tobermory. Lovely towns.

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

No people to benefit in Antarctica.
