100% Fabulous, from the moment we landed at Buenos Aries airport we had a sensory overloud, in a good way. The weather was extremely kind to us throughout the 22 night cruise and our time pre cruise in Buenos Aries. We just loved it. You can do as much or as little as you like onboard and before. One of my highlights was waking up and looking out the balcony window to see icebergs and also orca swimming by. Oh and lots and lots of penguins :-)

It was an amazing experience seeing all the wildlife in it's natural habitat. The crew were very helpful and friendly. We had so much fun visiting all the ports of calls but the Antarctic Experience was especially memorable for us.
