What travelers are saying

"Die geplante Route: ab Ushuaia nach Antarktische Halbinsel, Südgeordgien, Falklands nach Buenos Aires. Wetterbedingt (aufziehender Hurrikan) Zwischenstopp in Southorkneys und Umfahrung des Unwetters. Dank Wetterglück, flexibler Plananpassung, hervorragender Expeditionsleitung sowie Crew ein einmaliges und unvergessliches Erlebnis in dieser vom Menschen (noch) weniger beeinflussten Welt. Die Reise ist ihr Geld auf jeden Fall wert!"
