Every destination had a memorable moment. On the Falkland Islands, I enjoyed the lecture by Mensun Bound about finding the Endurance wreck in the Antarctica sea. Getting a signed copy of his book, The Ship Beneath the Ice was epic. On South Georgia, the King Penguin colony of Saint Andrews Bay was stunning! Stepping onto the Antarctica Peninsula at Portal Point was a moment I’ll never forget! Overall, wildlife spotting from multitudes of penguins to breaching whales was a true highlight of the trip.

The zodiac landings were a highlight—fun, seamless, and led by a truly professional and engaging team. Approaching Antarctica for the first time was magical, made even more special by whales performing around the ship. Seeing the white continent while surrounded by wildlife was pure joy and an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately my Dream Holiday was, quite frankly, a bit of a disaster. Our ship was unable to reach the Antarctic mainland due to excessive sea ice and 150kph winds.The elevator on the ship had been fitted with a new safety device that prevented it from operating in high seas, and was only available for about 20 of our 23 days on board. Our Expedition leader suffered a stroke on board and the ship had to race towards New Zealand to meet with rescue helicopters to take him to hospital ashore, so our intended destinations were missed and we meandered around.

The most memorable moment for us I think was the night of my birthday, while having drinks at the bar with some fellow passengers we witnessed no less than 15 whales right outside our windows. The whales were eating and coming out of the water with their large mouths. I can't believe how close to the ship they were and then a leopard seal floated by in a pool on an iceberg. I had told the guides I wanted to see a leopard seal for my birthday and then at 11pm here one just floated on by the window as it just gazed up at the ship.
