The wildlife and scenery was amazing. I was so impressed with the expedition and ship crew who really made every effort to give us as many experiences as possible. We were lucky with the weather, which nobody can control. The biggest surprise was that the trip was 60% German speaking. I don't know if that is typical.

Very difficult to answer - the immensity of all that was around us every day was spectacular, the individual sightings of things like orcas and beak nosed whales, the wildlife, the blues of the ocean and the icebergs, the friendly and fun staff. It was all part of the memories.

One of the most memorable moments of the entire trip was standing at St Andrews Bay, surrounded by tens of thousands of king penguins stretching to the horizon — a living, moving landscape that felt almost unreal in its scale and intensity. Another highlight was our perfect morning on Half Moon Island, with clear skies, crisp air, and a lively chinstrap penguin colony scattered across the snow, framed by bright sunlight and sweeping views of bays and distant glaciers. And in South Georgia, the elephant seal colonies offered an unforgettable experience of their own: massive beachmasters bellowing from the shore, younger males testing their luck at the edges, and pups calling from the grass — a raw and ancient drama unfolding just a few meters away.

I may never forget the initial fear, and then awe of having a humpback whale swim under my kayak! It was amazing to be so close to all the seals, whales, and penguins. I was also thrilled I got to be with my new friend and kayak-mate, Josh, as we came upon a sleeping leopard seal. This moment is what Josh had been waiting for for 15 years and why he took the trip.
