In January 2026, we had a wonderful trip to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and Antarctica. This was already our second trip with Poseidon. The entire crew, from the technician and captain to the restaurant, hotel, and bar staff, is thoroughly professional and absolutely customer-oriented. Attention is paid to even the smallest details. We grew together like a family during the three weeks. There was a feeling of warmth everywhere, despite the cold outside temperature.
The expedition team had extensive knowledge of Antarctic animals , landscape, geology, geography, and history. It was also noticeable that the members of the expedition team treated each other with mutual respect and friendliness. This was very pleasant and cannot be taken for granted, considering that the teams are put together by Poseidon depending on the destination. We would like to emphasize that we often did not have good weather conditions, which demanded a lot from the captain's team and the expedition. It was therefore wonderful that the expedition leader, Sergey, always communicated any changes to the daily schedule or cancellations very clearly to the guests.
For us, it was a wonderful time with lots of learning and understanding of this unique and precious natural environment, and of course lots of fun on board and wonderful food!
My experience with Poseidon Expeditions, together with my boyfriend, was below expectations. The organization was poor and some interactions felt unnecessarily aggressive and unprofessional. What concerned us most was seeing staff actively encouraging positive reviews from passengers, which affected our trust in the company’s public rating.
Trip of a lifetime! This was my second voyage with Poseidon, after experiencing the Antarctic with them in 2023. This time we visited Svalbard and what a trip it was! I love the small ship, it feels very homely with luxury service. The expedition crew are soo knowledgeable and they made sure we experienced the best of the Arctic.
The circumnavigation of Svalbard with Poseidon Expeditions was an exceptional experience. The limited number of passengers allowed all guests to participate fully in each expedition activity. The expertise, organisation, and meticulous attention to detail demonstrated by the expedition team ensured that every activity was distinct and memorable. The team's extensive knowledge across various disciplines meant that all questions were thoroughly addressed, greatly enhancing our understanding through onboard activities and lectures. Additionally, the hotel staff consistently provided exemplary service, displaying attentiveness and friendliness at all times. Their commitment to delivering a comprehensive experience rather than merely a service was clearly evident throughout the trip.
Poseidon were outstanding throughout, a very helpful app which included all you needed to know about the trip. The ship was super comfortable and the team were super friendly. My wife and I had a great trip and I would recommend Poseidon to anyone looking to explore the Artic.
Unfortunately this expedition didn't live up to expectations!With the new regulations its not easy to see polar bears like it says on there website, "Polar bears easy to see!" Its not.We had 2 opportunities to see polar bears yet twice we had to turn and didnt see then!If you want to see polar bears i wouldn't recommend Svalbard or this company.They are miss selling this trip!They need to change there website!The staff was lovely but lacking in enthusiasm apart from the whale expert, hardly seem on deck looking out for wildlife!This trip is not worth its money, I feel robbed, and its not cheap! I definitely be returning to Quark Expeditions, they are in a different league!
Room size good. Toilet continually clogging and out of action. Bad smell in Toilet even though ours not clogged. Food..luke warm and not inviting..no toaster..overall not appetising. Can't see polar bears as ruled have changed..must be 500m from so no easy vision. Stops on zodiacs boring..basically a waste of money. Nothing great to see. Go to Antarctica instead.
We had a fantastic trip to Antarctica with Poseidon. Very professional in all aspects. Great crew. Excellent off-ship activities like kayaking and camping on the ice. A small ship was a major advantage enabling a true expedition experience. Highly recommended.
