Creator's Key Takeaways

I was invited to explore an expedition with Silver Sea. Something that was on my husband and I's list to do.

I would choose the smaller ship no matter your physical ability because they help you getting on and off the Zodiacs.

The observation lounge was just absolutely beautiful on the ship. All glass windows and it was the social hub of the ship.

Everything else met every expectation. It's wonderful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a year in advance for expedition cruises.
✓Consider renting waterproof boots and gear through the cruise line.
✓Plan for the flights to Porto Williams as the most unpleasant part of the trip.
✓Choose a smaller ship for better access to landings in Antarctica.

Physical fitness for Antarctica — If you can climb stairs, you're fine; the ship helps with Zodiac access.
Seasickness on Drake Passage — Take melazine; it worked fine for me, and many others didn't get sick.
