Tell us about the wildlife
The wildlife in South Georgia was amazing! I would recommend everybody who makes the journey to Antartica to make sure that they include South Georgia in their itinerary.
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
I was a bit disappointed with the zodiac operations of the ship. I feel that safety was and always should be a concern...however, what is considered unsafe for some, is not always unsafe for everybody. Perhaps the doctor onboard the ships should conduct some sort of mobility assessment in the beginning of a voyage. I feel that some landings and zodiac cruises were canceled because a few passengers would have struggled.
Tell us about the expedition team
The expedition staff were wonderful. They had a lot of knowledge in their individual fields and were excited to help us explore such a unique territory.
Tell us about the Ortelius
Food was great. Living conditions were great! Perhaps the boat needs a gym or a space for more active activities.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
