Creator's Key Takeaways

We absolutely loved this cruise! Tune in to see why.

It's a big elephant. Yeah, we self-funded. Um there's no other way to put it. It's not a cheap trip.

The helicopter ride was simply awesome. A true rockstar experience to take off and land on board your ship.

The Zodiacs were also amazing. And being a nautical junkie, I love them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive in Buenos Aires a few days early to acclimatize to jet lag.
Do not let fear of seasickness hold you back from doing this cruise.
Be prepared for seasickness with tablets and bands.
Double or triple layer clothing for kayaking to avoid getting cold.

YouTube Video Description

In this episode, we travel to Antarctica on the Scenic Eclipse. Our first expedition cruise, our first time to South America and our first time to Antarctica. We see Antarctica from the land, the water and the air. We see whales, penguins, sea birds and seals. We see ice in so many forms - glaciers, pack ice, crevasses and, of course, icebergs. We absolutely loved this cruise!
