Creator's Key Takeaways

I would rate this good as I would for me Pont and the saten or better just because it includes South Georgia which is absolutely mindboggling

the ship is probably the nicest of the three ships I've been on

I would say it's definitely as good

nothing beats Antarctica in the world so I would always always always do Anar say antartic is number one by a mile

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Sign up for email newsletters from expedition lines to catch solo deals
โœ“Order boots two sizes bigger and wear thick socks for warmth
โœ“Bring two pairs of waterproof gloves as they take longer to dry
โœ“Plan ahead as expedition cruises sell out quickly, especially in peak season

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Penguin smell โ€” Early in season, penguins are just arriving back on land, so it's not especially smelly
Getting wet in Zodiacs โ€” It varies with weather; waterproof gear helps, and Silversea provides a good waterproof bag
Mobility for Expedition activities โ€” Need to be pretty mobile to climb in and out of Zodiacs and onto pebble beaches
