The luggage was picked up from our hotel without hassle and delivered to our cabin. The size of the ship, about 90 passengers was perfect. There were enough people to have dinner with different groups but it wasn't so big you got lost. The trip out and back was packed with lectures from scientists, there wasn't time to be bored. The accommodation was better than expected, it wasn't a pokey cabin. The food was great. The range of peoples age and background was vast but everyone was friendly and enhanced the social side of the trip. The wildlife was enchanting, there was a buzz every time we were going off the ship. Visiting active or unused stations was a thrill.

Waking up under the sky on a glacier with penguins surrounding our cocoon and glaciers breaking and crashing in the distance. I’m so moved that I’m tearing up as I type this. Confession: I watched Happy Feet on my flight home and cried the full duration of the movie. Nothing bad happened, it was just that my heart is so open because life is so mysterious and beautiful. This excursion moved me in even more ways than Africa and waking up on the Serengeti during the Great Migration has also changed my life.

Cruising iceberg alley and getting up close and personal with the seals and penguins there. Lots of memorable moments crossing the "dreaded Drake." We saw four or five orcas frolicking alongside the ship on our last night in Antarctica. Really a great way to end.

Excursions were terrific being so close to the birds, seals and penguins. The landscape was breath taking and so different from the other sixth continents that I have seen. There were numerous people from all over the world and very friendly. As George Carlin says: Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away and Antarctic certainly took my breath away.

The ship was the perfect size and the number of people, just right. We were impressed with how knowledgeable the guides were. Most magical moment: Antartica silence on top of the snowy hill, and the hike to the top of the hill in cierva cove, where it was windy and typical Antartica weather.
