Antarctica Reviews

4.9 Rating 498 Reviews
It's a long journey for what is a 4 day holiday on the white continent. It is however worth it. Be prepared to accept what mother nature throws at you weather-wise but also be prepared to see the most amazing sights. The whole experience was further enhanced by the Expedition Team - phenomenal people who do an amazing job. Overall a humbling but worthwhile experience

It was an absolutely fabulous holiday. But the most difficult holiday to describe. The scale of the landscape just mind boggling. Just when I thought I had a gauge on the potential mountain size, off goes a zodiac from the ship and within a few meters of the ship the zodiac was more than dwarfed by the mountain, again revealing to me that my scale was yet again a thousand to a million times out. The unfathomably beautiful blues of icebergs. Combined with their popping and crackling as air bubbles burst as they weathered. The soothing and relaxing braying of Gentoo penguins. And the hiss of aggression as they warned Skuas from their nests. While Adelie penguins chased the offending Skuas. The no fuss attitude of crab eater seals on icebergs as the ship dwarfed their berg of rest. The cool daily temperature, blue skies, balanced with grey skies. Katabatic winds blowing even the smallest warmth hidden beneath many layers away. Standing on fast sea ice. Watching a crack appear 50m metres from our landing point and then a portion of the ice the size of half a tennis court floating away. More food than was sensible to eat. I would go back again and again if not simply to better absorb the scale of the landscape. We had a fantastic combination of weather and seas, spoiling us to believing it could be like that all the time.

Amazing trip. The program was exceptional (for the short time that we were there) and the organisation was very professional (activities, hotel, etc.). Probably we were also very lucky with the weather, being blessed with 4 sunny days. Highly recommended trip.

Our trip was so much better than expected. We had smooth sailing, sunny skies, lots of penguins, whales and orcas!! The food and service on the Ocean Endeavor was very good!
