Antarctica Testimonials

Antarctica Cruise - The Peninsula

I wanted to visit Antarctica before it becomes too touristy with a line of cruise-ships. I chose this trip for the National Geographic name...the fact that they would be extremely knowledgeable… that it was an expedition cruise and no set itinerary, that there was an underwater camera, free kayaks, and a National Geographic photographer on board... I also chose this as opposed to others because of the amount of time actually exploring Antarctica... I was not disappointed.

Ian Bullock is amazing. He has such a broad scope of knowledge that is quite detailed. He can take you on a historical journey, point out every species of bird, explain biology...geology, sing. Excellent trip...I wish though that the lectures that we had could be provided in PowerPoint slides to us after the expedition.

The only thing kind of lame about the entire trip was the Santiago tour. It was more a tour of sitting in traffic. It leaves at a poor hour for the city and really is not that interesting or provides much information or insight for the city.
