GBDO NOT go on this cruise line!! DO NOT go on this cruise line!!! I went in December. Antarctica is amazing but this ship, the crew, and the food are awful. The ship is old and the movies (there is a lot of down time during the Drake Passage) we from the 80's on little little televisions. They don't have any food to snack on throughout the day except a short "tea time" and the snacks are lacking. Their overall food is buffet style and in general poor quality. No activities, not much to do and all the presentations were of poor quality, dull, and just no one seemed to care much.

GBArctic Experts Arctic Experts! Safe, educational, wonderful! (Only thing two things they should adjust: add a few specialty items to the menu - - jumbo shrimp, etc - - at this pricepoint, the food was a little mediocre; and fix how we lined up for zodiacs - - standing in parkas fully geared for 30 minutes didn't make sense with only 92 passengers- - Franz Josef land trip July 2019)

GBIt was an absolutely spectacular trip It was an absolutely spectacular trip. I love the size of the ship, expedition team was informative and friendly. All ship staff was helpful. This was better than I could have imagined. We saw plenty of penguins, whales, and seals. The glaciers were out of this world, and I have endless photos of beautiful scenery. This was a much needed trip for my mental health and spirit, I feel like a bit of myself came back because of Antarctica. 10/10 recommend.

GBGreat crew great little ship Sea Spirit staff and crew provided a fantastic trip 20 day tour of the Falklands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula January 21-27. Every staff from the ship crew, hotel, restaurant and especially the expedition staff did their utmost to give us the best experience possible. Some days we even had three landings or zodiac cruises. Small ship great crew highly recommend. One addition thought Aaron the expedition leader besides leading the trip did his very best to be transparent about why decisions were made and how they were made. I appreciated this extra effort on his part.

AUANTARCTICA 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.
