Tell us about Zodiac excursions

Some of the trips went out with just a driver - and it happened a few times with us. On those, we arent able to ask questions about what we see or are given a proper explanation.

Were Swoop right to recommend HX Expeditions?

Yes

Tell us about the expedition team

Top notch! The science team made everything understandable and yet indepth.

Tell us about the MS Fridtjof Nansen

Fantastic facilities.

Something Else?

The Philippine crew at the various restaurants, the cleaners, the bartenders were really service oriented and top notch.

Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?

Go with HX. Take your seasickness pills to enjoy the trip.

Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?

Definitely. It was a time of reflection, slowing down, appreciating nature but also of learning thanks to the lectures and science programme.

Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?

Please have a better understanding of the processes and procedures and arrangements with HX. HX said suite passengers are taken care of and hence there was a private transfer arranged. Pls clarify with HX on this. Also other procedures like submission of forms and the fields. We have documented our email exchanges and queries so u should already have the feedback.
