room comfortable, food very good they supposedly did sea trials and one of the engines became unusable which made us a day late returning and they were not totally honest about what was happening with the boat . they didn't realise there were passengers on board who know about diesel engines

Plan to go in January to see wandering albatross nest in South Georgia - it's amazing and only available from the 8th, I was unaware at the time but glad that the option was there. The weather was exceptional and so was the wildlife, we learnt lots about the history of the place and about the wildlife.

From the planning of the trip to its execution, the trip was absolutely perfect. Not only did I get to experience the majestic Antarctic continent, but I got to learn so much about the continent, it's wildlife, nature, history and even photography through the profound sessions held by the highly experienced and knowledgeable Expedition Team members. The best trip of my life.

We lost one day becouse one of ships engine was broken, so embark was delayed fo 24h, but we get refund, one night at hotel and some trips during those 24h. otherwise tour was excellent. CEO changed intinerary plan so we headed to polar circle first to be sure we can go through in time. if something didnt match itinerary, it was only becouse of weather or danger. Crew and CEO was group of fantastic people and thansk to them, this trip was double so awsome :)

The whole trip from start to finish was well organised. Every transfer was on time and the staff on the MV Ushuaia were all skilled and willing to assist in any way possible to ensure our trip was the best it could be. The food that came out of the small galley was well prepared and fresh. Vegetarians were also well looked after. There was only one choice for each meal, but this is to be expected with limited supplies able to be carried on board. I'm still trying to find the right words to explain Antarctica itself. It embodies the true meaning of "awesome" as we were truly in awe of the pristine beauty & wildness.

G Adventures run ship MS Expedition. All run very smoothly, excellent attention to detail. Flexible destinations regarding weather conditions. Very good attention to environmental issues. Food too rich, could have had less stodgy desserts and meat was always very rare (ie raw); even vegetables were cooked in a stodgy sauce. However always fresh salad and fruit available.

10 days trip to Antarctic Peninsular. A bit shaky across the Drake Passage, as was expected, otherwise a beautiful sailing between the islands and icebergs. Lots of landings to see the native inhabitants with hundreds of Penguins, also Wales, Seals, Birds and Orcas. The staff on board were terrific and so helpful. The food was enough with a good breakfast and two 3 coarse meals (lunch and dinner) with fruit and afternoon snacks available. The cooking was a bit plain at times but still eatable. All in all, a terrific trip, quiet unforgettable.
