The whole experience was super incredible! My family & I will never forget this trip! We had the best team! We were so lucky that the drake passage was just smooth that people call it drake lake, we were able to arrive earlier thus giving us our first bonus zodiac landing, we had 2 bonuses!!! We were able to do all planned zodiac landings plus the 2 bonuses because of a very good weather and wonderful planning by the expedition team. They also made sure everyone is safe throughout the whole journey. All activities were balanced, 1 zodiac landing either in the morning or afternoon and 1 zodiac cruise. There were also discussions, not all of it we were interested in but there was for everyone whichever your interest may be. We joined the lab tour wherein the kids got to see under the microscope. We also joined the talk about the penguins and how antarctica cruises started.
Love this cruise so much! stunning wildlife (penguins, whales), majestic scenery (icebergs, glaciers). The passage for the Drake was calmed and not too dramatic. the weather was just perfect, manageable winds and temperature not too low, it was usually around 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Wonderful and modern ship, love the expeditions, all expedition team are experts in what they do. Everybody in the team go above and beyond to make all passengers feel comfortable. The chefs cook very delicious food. All expedition activities are super cool and interesting to see all marine wildlife not only pinguins but whales, southern elephant seals and abundant species of Antarctic snow petrels. One of my favorite activities was kayaking. Ilene the coordinator of the activity is an expert in Kayaking, she makes sure that everybody enjoys and takes the best of the experience. I highly recommend this cruise and ship company Swan Hellenic to all who want to have an unforgettable experience such as a cruise to the Antarctic!
I have chosen this cruise because of the itinerary and number of stops in the Antarctic peninsula and I am so glad that we managed not only to explore beautiful spots (twice per day) but to cross the Antarctic circle. I enjoyed SH Diana modern design and comfort, spacious rooms, facilities and culinary choices at the restaurants. The expedition team was incredible, knowledgeable and fun, always making sure we had an amazing time. We managed to kayak and snow shoe during our trip and had a sunny weather during those activities. We saw so much wildlife: penguins, seals, whales, orcas and many sea birds. The scenery was incredible. SH had their own photographer on board and his amazing photos were shared with us after the trip. What an incredible souvenir! I highly recommend Swan Hellenic to anyone who is looking for in depth Antarctica experience, great expedition team and crew onboard, all onboard a beautiful ship.
We had a wonderful trip, very different from our previous cruise experience - a small ship, fewer than 200 passengers, very engaging, professional and friendly staff, remote places. The expedition team were highly capable, knowledgeable, motivated and engaging, and the expedition leader was authoritative and commanded respect. Unlike a normal cruise, the weather plays a major role in if / when we could go ashore, and the team managed the itinerary and communication very well - eg we went behind a storm on the way to South Georgia from Tristan da Cunha losing a day, so the team arranged for three landings on South Georgia in one day which was incredible. We appreciated the two or three lectures a day while at sea, as well as the 18:30 standard briefing of the next day. We enjoyed visits to the bridge, engine room and galley. The food was very good and the a la carte menu while at sea was superb. The pool, sauna and steam room were also great. Every landing was special in a different way, and loved the birdlife, mammals and icebergs. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience the most pristine and remote parts of the planet
If you're looking for the exceptional, this is just it. My 19-y-old son and I travelled all across the South Atlantic with stopovers in Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia and Antarctica. The ship is brand new and very comfortable, the service is first class and we had 15 expedition guides who really knew their individual domains. Very exceptional characters indeed! Don't be afraid of the large number of sea days, you won't be bored if you just like to watch, talk and listen. We enjoyed the international atmosphere on board, the friendliness of the crew - you can even talk to the ship's Captain every night. They manage to feel you being part of a true expedition into the unknown - just with a lot of comfort. It goes without saying that you ought to speak English in order to take the most out of the trip. Go for it!
