What Our Customers Think of Ocean Diamond
The Ocean Diamond was outstanding in all aspects. The ship itself was accommodating, spacious and spotless. My cabin was comfortable and furnished well. The staff made every effort to please and assist - they were just awesome!

The Ocean Diamond is a great vessel. We had plenty of time on land and the time spent in the zodiacs was amazing. All of the expedition leaders were fantastic so I felt I got more than I expected. It was an epic voyage.

Swoop says
I loved the feeling on Ocean Diamond of always being close to the action. Almost every public area has direct access to an outer deck. For me the adventure in Antarctica is all about being outside.
