The trip didnt disappoint in the number of orcas and humpbacks that were seen. (more)Kevin Docherty
Most memorable? - Seeing over 100 orcas swimming freely around the boat. What a truly breath taking experience... Amazing. I can't recommend this trip highly enough. Charles and his crew are fantastic. (more)Stuart Etheridge
Most memorable parts of the vacation were... the frequent encounters with both Humpback and Orca each day. (more)Paul Manning
From
US $2,614

Outstandingly fantastic, the realisation of one of my life dreams and it exceeded all expectations. (more)Dot Mechan
The most memorable part of the vacation was the encounters with wildlife on land and snorkelling. (more)Julie Masters
We had a fabulous guide. The Yate Aida Maria and its crew were terrific. Each island stop was so cool. The food was great. (more)Doreen Martin
From
2,540
excluding flights
Fantastic, certainly the trip of a lifetime. The beauty of Spitzbergen truly took my breath away at times. (more)Kevin Mcloughlin
Spitsbergen itself was without doubt the star, with spectacular scenery, rapidly changing lighting and fascinating history. The birdlife was sparse at the start of autumn as expected, but we saw polar bears, whales, arctic fox, reindeer and walrus.

Memorable parts?
Impossible to say. I loved it from the moment I got on-board to the day I had to leave.
Tips?
Take warm clothes as being on the water is much colder than being on land. Binoculars are a must too.
Local benefits?
Yes I think it probably did all of the above
Overall rating?
Oh at least 6 stars. Christophe was all one could want in a skipper esp. as I
was rather nervous doing the big boat to little boat transfer.....calm as could
be and so professional.... (more)Annabel Cope
From
£3,315
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing wildlife: Whales, black and brown bears, mountain goat, eagles, otters from the boat; kayaking and bushwhacking
Tips?
Take layered clothing to adapt to changing weather. If you are a photographer, take a 400mm or larger lens.
Local benefits?
To a degree, yes. The cruise hires local staff and our guides educated us on how to minimize environmental impact on hikes.
Overall rating?
It was fantastic - we were extremely lucky with the weather (sunshine... (more)Konrad von Szczepanski
From
£5,930
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
It is very difficult to choose the most memorable/exciting part of the vacation, the whole fortnight was fantastic. The scenery is stunning, the wildlife amazing, all the boat crew were great, the atmosphere on board warm and friendly, the food was fabulous, the activities well organised. If we had to choose, we particularly enjoyed kayaking in Misty Fiord. We were lucky with the weather, the water was like a mirror and the scenery particularly dramatic. The fantail at...

The most exciting part of this vacation was helping to winch in the anchor! (more)Virginia McCrae
The two trips were lovely, food very good on both. (more)Kim Freeman
Having a seal follow us whilst out zodiac went ashore was memorable. Watching an otter fishing was also good. So was the whisky tasting. (more)Jill Brasch

It was a delight. I was hoping for something unique and it was! (more)Sue Ellen Christensen
From
US $6,695
excluding flights
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.
However,... (more)Stephen Kohn

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

Terrific vacation. We rate the staff particularly highly. Peter and his great captaincy: adjusting the trip to get the best out of each day. Leo for his cheery support of us all and his great competency. And Andrea for excellent food: better than most restaurants (more)Peter Croft

We spent a night in a fjord while the glacier was calling. Very dramatic and beautiful. (more)Deborah Ruhe
We were very lucky with the weather and had lots of zodiac and shore trips which resulted in an excellent experience...Seeing polar bears and arctic foxes in the wild, also the beautiful Arctic glaciers. (more)Christina Miles
This was a truly wonderful experience! would definitely recommend (more)Cara Hirst
From
7,299

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

The most exciting part of the vacation was sitting on deck in an enchanted cove. (more)S F

From
£2,799
excluding flights
Evacuation from an island when polar bears were sighted approaching was the most memorable part of the vacation.
(more)Yiu Wing Chung
The most memorable parts of the trip were...The polar bears that we saw close up from the zodiac, the large group of walruses with some playing in the water, the bird cliff at Alkefjellet and the polar bear that came looking for tea, the glacier calving at Monacobreen with the pod of around 12 Belugas that turned up to watch, being able to swim in the Arctic, and, my personal favourite, sailing through the pack ice to 82 degrees north and being surrounded by ice.
(more)Andy Sykes
Cruising is not my scene but this one was certainly very interesting and informative. The organization, comfort and activity were excellent and I could certainly find no fault with anything. (more)Marcus Durand
From
US $7,380
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing the ribbon seals, the northern right whale and the spoonbill sandpiper.
Tips?
Be prepared for lots of walking on the tundra. Also understand that the ship does not have stabilizers so even a mild swell rocks the ship. Bring a good layering system as temperatures and ice conditions can vary greatly.
Local benefits?
Supported conservation and the spoonbill sandpiper project. I suppose that we provided some income for the people in the towns in which... (more)Marian Herz
From
US $7,500
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The wildlife.
Tips?
Don't go on this ship: it is old and uncomfortable.
Booking a mini-suite was expensive and turned out to be most inconvenient. It was certainly good having ones own toilet and shower, however the bed
arrangement was terrible. The bed was enclosed in a box with only a small corner free for getting in or getting out of bed. If one had to get up in the night
one had to wake one's partner to get out of bed and back in again, as one had to climb... (more)Carole-Anne Fooks
From
£5,690
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Humpback whales bubble-netting Krill. The huge penguin colonies. The land/seascapes.
Tips?
Consider the dates. I went in early February - at that time the penguin chicks were fledging and the penguins were very active, came close, and interesting to
see. After fledging the penguins leave and there is none to see. Before fledging the penguins are on their nests.
Local benefits?
There are no local people. There was very little environmental impact as... (more)Colin Owens
