“We booked a recent trip to South America and Antarctica with Flight Centre. They suggested Chimu as a tour operator. Who suggested Polar Expeditions. All involved put together a great itinerary that included stopovers/activities in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Iguazu. FC allowed sufficient travel times and layovers. The tours and locations were great and interesting. Polar Expeditions and the Ocean Albatross crew over delivered on their promises at every juncture. We were blessed with good weather so every excursion off the boat happened. The on board scientists/expedition team added value to the trip. I recommend booking an excursion not a cruise. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and the few days we spent there and excursions were good. In Ushuaia we visited Tierra del Fuego National Park, it’s well worthwhile. In Iguazu the excursions are incredible and a must do. We learnt to trust our itinerary, it flowed well and was fit for purpose. From Aus, South America and Antarctica is not a chap trip, but it is so worth it.”

“The expedition team members were very knowledgeable and were responsible for creating a memorable experience. The ship was relatively small meaning it could sail into small bays and the ship's crew and hotel staff were very helpful.”
