What travelers are saying

"Die Reise im Jan. 25 nach Falklandinseln - Südgeorgien und Antarktis bleibt ein unbeschreibliches Abenteuer, das muss man einfach erlebt haben - mit Wetterglück und Gletscher A23a. Wir konnten viele Zodiac-Fahrten und Anlandungen unternehmen und die Vielfalt der Tiere hautnah miterleben. Das Expeditionsteam war professionell, das Essen und Trinken gut und die Angestellten auf dem Schiff sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Mit dem An-und Abreisepaket hat alles bestens geklappt. Vielen Dank! Waren vor einem Jahr mit der Sea Spirit in Grönland - ebenfalls super! Wir empfehlen Poseidon Expeditions für eine unvergessliche Expedition!"
