I had always had an interest in seeing Antarctica and through a group I chose this cruise. It was very well organized and everyone involved was both professional and FUN! The ship itself was beautiful, the cabins very nice and of the food and drink wonderful. But it was the Antarctic in all its splendor that made this cruise so memorable. I’ve told family and friends that they absolutely must put the Antarctic on their travel list! Our excursions to land via Zodiacs were wonderful and very well organized by our amazing guides and the assist staff. They provided us with hiking poles once we arrived on land and were right they to answer any questions and provide their knowledge around that particular visit. One of our excursions did not include a land visit but instead was a whale and leopard seal watch along with some spectacular icebergs. Penguins everywhere!
