What was your most memorable moment?
One morning in particular stands out. It was a cooler morning zodiac cruise expedition, where I got to observe juvenile penguins get the zoomies around and on and off an iceberg. For the full circle of life experience, I also got to witness a leopard seal hunting a penguin. Once back on the boat I hopped into the hot tub to warm up, shortly after I got into the hot tub I saw a humpback whale breach a little ways off the boat. It was a surreal morning.

Tell us about the Ocean Albatros
The entire staff on Ocean Albatros elevated the whole trip experience. Andi kept our cabin clean and tidy. Dennis, the maitre d' made sure we were seated quickly and comfortably every night. Furthermore, he sought me out to make sure we could appropriately celebrate my friend's birthday. Rowel was our main DR waiter, and he took excellent care of us. Finally but not least, Willard made sure to keep our wine glasses full. Cannot speak highly enough about the whole team.
Tell us about the expedition team
I was very impressed with the extensive knowledge from the entire expedition team. Furthermore, their excitement for certain sights/experiences/landing zones was palpable and made the trip feel even more special.
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
I felt safe at all times, even when we had rowdy seas one day and had to carefully plan entering and exiting the zodiac boats.
