“Antarctica was just beautiful, imposing and impressive landscapes constantly changing,but peaceful and serene at the same time. It is a place of its own where we were privileged to get a glimpse of its magnitude and a sense of its timelessness. Everything about the cruise went so smoothly, wonderful expedition crew, friendly and attentive staff, delighted to say that both crossings of the Drake Passage were fine, food very good, accommodation also very good. We particularly enjoyed cruising in the zodiacs beside minky and humpback whales and playful leopard seals. Plenty of time to spend on land with the penguins, more seals and at some of the bases. The trip was really faultless and a credit to everyone who made the logistics seem natural. I will remember our 'wonderful good morning' wake up calls. It was a very special experience.”
“the trip turned out to be just as it was sold to us...the ship was very sea worthy and the captain gave confident.Food was excellent.The daily debrief worked well.Having the mud room was definitely an advantage..all wet gear could be left there.The staff in charge of the zodiac trips were professional and knowledgable and really went out of their way to ensure we got to see and experience everything the antartic had to offer.this is not a cheap holiday,it is an expensive experience but you really do get what you pay for!”
“The crew, boat and experience exceeded all expectations, I was blown away by how enthusiastic the team was, and kayaking next to humpback whales was a life highlight!”
“We were very lucky with weather, all landings and Zodiac tours happened. The amount of wildlife was overwhelming. The staff were very professional and gave interesting and informative talks and helped in identifying wildlife.”
“Everything about this trip was perfect. The location -wondrous. The expedition staff - knowledgeable, friendly and direct. Good fun too. The ships crew excellent always thinking of the guests not themselves. Food staff excellent. The food could have been better but no complaints for this kind of trip”
“The one drawback was that the ship was delayed by over 24 hours. This meant one less day in Antarctica. The ship crew and Quark expedition team tried their best to give us as many experiences as possible and to have a rapid turnaround at port to get us on our way.”
