Antarctica Classic reviews

The cruise exceeded all expectations. Impressive organisation on shore and on board MS Expedition. Excellent experts who filled the days on Drake passage with lectures of a very high standard. Superb food. Comfortable cabin. Journeys there and back also fine - all on time and we did enjoy and appreciate travelling business between LHR and EZE, on board and in the lounges. Words cannot describe Antarctica - feel very privileged to have been there and seen it.

This was a spectacular expedition. Antarctica is a breathtaking landscape and the proximity of the wildlife is amazing. It is easy to run out of superlatives and awesome is certainly appropriate for this trip. We saw penguins aplenty and they are comical and joyous when porpoising through the water in large groups, just for fun. We saw all the seals usually just lazing but we also saw nature in the raw. And then the whales- truly magical when they come by very closely. All the arrangements worked very smoothly- superb leaders and the organisation for using the zodiacs and landings so well handled. And the Drake Passage for us was relatively calm! A totally memorable trip.

There's nowhere to compare with Antarctica. Whether it's staring at the jaw-dropping magnificence of the scenery or being delighted by the antics of the penguins, you won't find a similar experience anywhere else. For me, as for many others, it was the chance to finally encounter the seventh continent. I walked on and sailed past ruggedly and eerily beautiful mountains, volcanic islands, glaciers and icebergs and saw with my own eyes a constantly changing array of birds, whales and seals. There was something new every day. The experience was supported by lectures on the ship, given by the same environmental and wildlife experts who accompanied us on every excursion. The food and quality of service on the ship were faultless. This isn't a cheap holiday but, if you can afford it, one you'll never forget.

This was the most perfect trip we have ever undertaken. The guides and staff on the MV Expedition were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and the service was excellent. The scenery and wildlife sightings were beyond expectations and the knowledgable guides gave us lots of information on everything we saw.

Antarctica is beyond words, a calming, incomparable continent which claimed my silence.
