LOVED EVERYTHING!! Best vacation so far!! Loved everything, especially highly professional team, that organised the whole trip super safe and on a highest level, the crew that does the cleaning and provides the food literally 24/7, the expedition team was super and the program, lectures, communication - everything couldn’t be better. I miss the cruise! And the best part of course the wild nature, animals. It’s a pity there are strict rules nowadays due to the flu and we couldn’t get closer, but it’s the right thing to protect the nature. Will be back for sure!

Amazing experience with an exceptional Poseidon team. Every member of the Poseidon team from the expedition team to the hospitality and room staff were absolutely exceptional. The on shore experiences were frequent and so interactive and amazing. The team worked overtime behind the scenes to make sure we had several amazing experiences every single day. The lectures on board were incredibly informative. The food was 5 star as was the service. We could not find a single fault with this amazing trip with its excellent crew.

This was an outstanding trip This was an outstanding trip! The ship was very well appointed, from the large state rooms to the lounges, dining room, spa, library, and decks. The crew was fantastic—knowledgeable and helpful in so many ways. Activities of camping, kayaking, polar plunge, were great. Excellent food, great emphasis on safety, and the ship was spotless. Small size of 114 is essential!

A Fabulous Experience! In short: A fabulous Experience! Visiting the Antarctic and seeing the penguins in their natural habitat has been a long held dream of mine. Choosing a Poseidon Expeditions cruise with the 114-passenger Sea Spirit was the absolute perfect choice. Their booking agents were very responsive and helpful. The 10-day journey was extremely well organized, the guides were very knowledgeable and enjoyable, the friendly restaurant crew's service impeccable, the food excellent, the house crew very helpful, and the front desk folks always ready to tend our needs. Being able to visit the bridge and talk to the captain and his crew was unexpected. We were pampered and felt very safe during the whole trip including the Zodiac outings, the hikes on land, the sea kayaking experience, the sleep-over on Antarctica (another dream come true) and the Polar Plunge. We set a record. 62 jumped into the icy water! Why not, you probably only have the chance once and you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't take it. Each guide and crew member knew exactly what guidelines to follow to make this unique experience the best it can be. We were amazed that there were 23 nationalities of travelers on board. Sharing the same special experience created an instant bond. Conversations flowed easily. All announcements were in English, German, Russian and Chinese. The Antarctic is a very special and magical place on Earth and we learned a lot about what it takes to protect this fragil land. Keep up the good work Poseidon Expeditions!

ANTARCTICA JANUARY 2023 Like others I too was very disappointed that we did not get to our planned destination and would like to make two points: 1. I recall a meeting at which an alternative was discussed, cancel the polar plunge and meet our goal. A show of hands indicated the plungers were a small minority but the expedition leader said the planned plunge would not be cancelled. I understand only 20 people actually went on the plunge. Why didn’t the majority count? 2. On another expedition cruise we have taken I felt that land treks were better handled. Details of the trek conditions and distance were made very clear, and alternative shorter walks were also offered. Trek maps were even included. I am not saying this would have prevented this accident, but at least it recognized that less fit people should have a choice. It would be nice to complete the journey another time but for us it won’t be with Poseidon.
