Very educational. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Food service was good. Clean and well maintained rooms ( Gina was great ).Very good exposure to the continent with adequate landings.Would have been nice to visit an operating research center, but I can understand why this is not possible with a large group.I will and have recommended this trip to others.
Our time on the Ocean Victory led by the Albatross Expeditions team was incredible. Our time in the Antarctic Peninsula was full of wonderful landings and zodiac cruises -- getting to appreciate the penguins, seals, whales, and all the ice! The expedition team was so knowledgeable, it was great to have experts in everything from the flora and fauna to the history of Antarctic explorers in order to learn even more about the big white, seventh continent. The boat was beautiful and our room was so comfortable. The planning of our trip was down through a third party travel agency (who were wonderful in every way); however, the two times I reached out directly to Albatross to try and confirm some details, I never received a response. Also, the disembarkation process felt a bit chaotic. The instructions given to passengers were unclear and many people were not sure where to find their luggage. We were also told by Albatross staff their would be luggage storage available for those needing it for the day; however, the busses who took us back to the main lot and the staff at the service center were not familiar with the storage and many passengers had to carry their luggage throughout town for the day until heading to the airport.
First of all the ship: great construction, spacy decks with a whirlpool (!), modern, nice interior, spacy cabins with balcony, enough place to store all your belongings. The Crew was so helpful and everyone was so friendly, we really felt at home on this cruise. The meals where very tasty and often they where wonderful created on the plates.The Exploration Team (from around the world) was teaching us with great knowledge and we learned a lot about this pristine world. The Zodiac-Tours where incredibly beautiful amongst icebergs, even when it snows or rains. We where well protected with the gear they gave us (Jackets, Rubberboots, Walkingsticks). My technically interested husband would like to spend more time on the bridge (more than the 15 min. tour). So, all together we had a extraordinarily trip (including the weather and cruising the Drake Passage with only 56 kn winds)! Wish to come again! Thanks to all of you!
Great cabin! Nice crew and real good service. The expedition team was a nice and interesting mix of people from all countries and interests (birds, whales, ice, glaciers, sailing, hunters ..). We had really good lectures on this tour. It‘s a really enjoyable trip as long as you can handle the Drake. We would do it all over again! Antarctica is worth that long way! We saw a lot of animals, but also the landscape itself was so beautiful! We always had enough time to enjoy the landings and zodiac cruises! Usually there was no rushing. All in all it was busy but relaxing at the same time. Thanks for this awesome experience!
I had a problem and after 3 emails back and forth was just ghosted. Then I wrote a review on this site about that and was asked to please email them at a certain email and they would try and solve my problem. so I did that and "Crickets". they talk big, but no follow through.
