We chose this cruise because of the lines reputation and the size of the ship.I fel that the naturalists were optimistic in their rating of some of the excursions. They tend to forget that we were all quite a lot older than them and what is easy to mild to them is not to people over 55. But Antarctica was wonderful and hard to describe to people just how magnificent it is. The size of the ship helped in that everywhere we went was acessable.
Embarkation and disembarkation was well organised as were the excursions.
In particular I would give special praise to the restaurant staff. They were exceptional with their service, especially Teddy, Yogi and Baptiste.
Though compact in size it was perfectly adequate for the two of us. Having the balcony helped. TV reception was not good but I guess that is a result of where we were sailing.
