I Liked the idea of a ship with good food and wine as well as the safety factor. May as well enjoy the Drake passage crossings. I wanted to get off using the zodiacs and this cruise had all that and terrific naturalists who had expertise in different areas. always willing to answer questions. Restaurant staff were so friendly and remembered you well. 2 x places to eat, both different, but the same attention to detail.
I loved the shore excursions, but we took one trip in the zodiac through very icy seas to look at swimming penguins and fantastic icebergs. That trip was my favourite.,
I Think the website needs work in helping prepare you for the cruise. There was some confusion on board when the 'white night, with a little black' turned into the blue and white night. People were mostly dressed casually even for the 'dressy' nights.
small but very functional. loved the Deck cam, which allowed you to see where the ship was going. great to have a balcony.
