There are so many highlights, impossible to find just one - from the beauty and incredible shades of white and blue of the icebergs and the 'fizzing' sound as the smaller 'bergie bits' melt, to the constant wildlife around the ship, eg birds, whales, dolphins, penguins everywhere we went, albatrosses following the ship, the black browed albatross colony [with chicks] on Falkland islands, sailing alongside the huge A23 iceberg, the impressive specialist knowledge of the expedition team, the friendliness of the onboard hotel crew, the skill and amenability of the captain as he maneouvered the ship in places where bigger ships can't go

There were many, clearing the Drake Passage, making the first landing on Antarctica, seeing just all the beautiful snow capped scenes, and the connection with fellow travelers on a ship the size of the Ocean Albotrsoe were equally life memory moments.

We had a humpback whale come right up beside our zodiac where it stayed for about half an hour! It was so playful and curious, skyhopping to see what was going on and swimming around genuinely like it was playing with us. It was incredible!

So many. The landscape, the silence, the icebergs, the glaciers, being so close to so many penguins, walking on the Antarctic continent. But the final afternoon seeing so many whales from the balcony and then in a zodiac being surrounded by whales that we didn't know which way to look.

The whole trip was so memorable it's hard to pick the most memorable. But seeing penguins upclose and whales was unbelievable experience. One day we were seeing about 10 whales when in our zodiac. Also would like to share what a deal it was to be included in the Photo group. Totally worth every penny. We got to go out first and stay out later, and the guides were fantastic even if just using your iphone camera!!
