Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Hondius

We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to visit the Antarctic Peninsula on the Hondius and most importantly with the Oceanwide team. Our group consisted of 7 travellers aged 7 to 70 years old and we all had an amazing time thanks to the incredible expedition team led by Sara, as well as ALL the staff who worked on the ship who were always smiling, friendly and upbeat! The expedition team was a unique bunch with extremely varied experiences & areas of expertise - it was a perfect combo! As I know that perhaps it is not as common to bring children, please know that our children aged 7 to 11 LOVED the trip - the landings & hikes were all easily done (one of ours even tried the polar plunge activity!) and they loved hearing the varied talks about Antarctica and the wildlife by the expedition staff. A truly extraordinary experience for them. They are asking us to book the next trip ASAP, but they want us to make sure that it will be with Sara and her expedition team, as well as the same restaurant & boat team. I think that says it all! We booked this as a "trip of a lifetime" but after this experience, we won't be able to leave it at that! Thank you to the whole Hondius team!
