    To see Antarctica was an unbelievable experience and being taken to experiences that weren’t planned and extra was really special. The crew were all mostly very nice and the service on board very good. The cabin was great and what I saw I will never forget. The military operation of the landings left a somewhat negative impression but I don’t know how you could do it differently. Maybe not so direct and aggressive. At times there was a mismatch between the crew and the passengers. I witnessed a passenger struggling to board a zodiac and the crew member not helping until told and responding with ‚well you should be fit‘ for such a trip. Really. The landings fitted the military aspect where a more hands on guided approach would be more informative. Also the party aspect of the ship doesn’t really match my idea of an Antarctica expedition but I guess that’s life. But I got more than I wanted out of the trip and you can’t say more than that. Thank you.

    Extremely rude expedition crew who is mostly American, British, and Australian. 1. If you're Chinese or look like one, BEWARE. The crew brings their politics with them. 2. I saw a crew member screaming at a guest who bent down to take a picture. Even though it was prohibited because of bird flu at the time, he should have communicated it politely. Never again for me. Thanks to TourRadar, I'm going with other tour companies from now on.
