INAmazing experience aboard Sea Spirit We had wonderful experience on the ship the expedition teams the in house team were very good. This is my second trip there is one thing which can be a bit better. We came to make memories but it would have been nicer if family pics are also clicked as we get those pics professionally. The usb stick that we got appeared like documentary. In our previous trip our photographer did a fabulous job of capturing all members . We do feel like seeing usb stick again and again.My husband being a good photographer himself captured us beautifully. But he was missing most of times . This little aspect will definitely work wonders for all guests participating in this journey which is definitely out of the world. Kind regards Rashmie Kapoor

GBAll aspects of this trip were… All aspects of this trip were phenomenal! Everyone was constantly on their A-Game and we had a great crew and staff. Expedition team members were fun and knowledgeable while taking care of us and making sure we were safe. We saw incredible things and had an amazing time. I cannot recommend them enough. We look forward to returning for another expedition soon!

GBA 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!

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.

BEI went to the British isles in may… I went to the British isles in may 2020.For me it was an unexpected experience because we visited isles where only nesting birds were living. It was so quite and peacefull.We also discovered marvellous gardens with a huge amount of different plants of all the world. The landings in zodiac were amazing..The staf of the Sea Spirit was very kind.I enjoyed every moment!
