“ What a holiday!!! Many, many thanks for 'selling' it to us...we had such an amazing time!! I never knew penguins could be such fun.” C.C & L.C, December 2004, Antarctic Peninsula, 12-day voyage.

“It truly was the most wonderful trip, images and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. We saw endless amounts of wildlife, even a blue whale was spotted. The weather was amazing, some wonderfully sunny, almost shirt sleeve days, with just the one blizzard to remind us what the Antarctic can really be like. And the huge iceberg B15a that has been creating problems in the region, well we got to land on it by helicopter...! We visited a rookery of over a million penguins at Cape Adare, just unbelievable…” N.P, January 2005, Semi-circumnavigation of Antarctica.
