“Didn't go to Antarctica so these comments are about Sub Antarctic Islands and yes, I would recommend the trip. It was excellent. The ship surpassed expectations and the journey itself was amazing for the amount of wild life we saw and the scenery of these remote islands. It was also good to see the efforts that both Australia and New Zealand had gone to, to remove introduced species from the islands.”

“South Georgia and Antarctica were absolutely breath-taking; much more so than I could have hoped for. The wildlife in South Georgia is incredibly abundant and it was wonderful to watch the birds, penguins and seals go about their daily routine without any interference from us (in the Zodiacs). Antarctica is beyond belief. Its volume and beauty surpasses everything I have ever had the priviledge of seeing. This is a very special place on earth - the most special of all and it absolutely must be preserved. All visitors must realise their priviledge and follow the biosecurity rules to the letter.”

“Everything about the trip was handled very professionally by CHIMU, nothing was left to chance.
As I didn't land on Antartica I can only comment from a distance.
The crew went to extroadinary lengths to go to the best places and always had a Plan B in mind. They worked very hard to give us the best.”

“The Sub Antarctic Islands are a fascinating and beautiful place to visit. Not many people get to visit this area and I hope it stays that way. Unfortuantely my trip missed out on two islands due to the weather but it was done for safety of the crew and passengers.”

“Great trip. I would have liked more time on mainland Antartica, and more opportunity to walk there.
A pity the cruise ship is so poluting (heavy diesel) and not at least a net-zero cruise.”
