Great Tour with a lot of wildlife

Well organized bucket list trip to the Antarctic: from the booking & admin side to the actual expedition, the on-shore outings, the food & the lectures. Professional & passionate staff that ensure a well run, amazing experience. Hospitality staff on ship were also excellent - very mindful of passengers' needs & very friendly.

This trip was beyond my expectations. The ship, the crew, the wildlife, the food and the excursions I could go on and on. Everyone was so friendly and so helpful. I would recommend this trip to anyone that can go. It is a once in a life time experience as far as I’m concerned. Thank you for everything.

I had the grandest experience from booking to the overnight hotel stay in Ushuaia to embarkation day on the MV Sea Spirit. Shulie in reservations was wonderful to work with. The hotel stay at Arakur Hotel in Ushuaia was amazing. A world class hotel tucked into the Andes Mountains. The expedition crew was by far the best. Knowledgable, friendly & very experienced. The ship was far more elegant than I thought it would be (as an expedition ship) Room crew were outstanding, Ari was so sweet & considerate of our late wake ups on non landing days. Restaurant crew were amazing. The food was always fantastic with so many great options for all types of foodie eaters. Rey was our server most days, always had a smile & greeted us by name, knew what we wanted to drink most lunches. He always saved the same table for our ever growing lunch & dinner mates. Angelo never let our wine glasses get low lol. Celine in the lounge referred to our group as "drink package crew" and always knew what we wanted. Everyone was so happy & friendly. Was truly a fun, happy experience. The expedition crew knew where to take us to see amazing wildlife. The daily recaps always had great adventure stories Will def book another expedition with Poseidon again

The Sea Spirit is a beautiful comfortable ship. This was our second expedition cruise with Poseidon and hope to do another trip with them in 2024. Antartica was truly amazing. I wouldn't even consider going with anyone but Poseidon. Their team is amazing!!! There expedition guides are all well-educated and knowledgeable about everything from birds, mammals, glaciers, sea ice, and geology. They truly care about the passengers and want them to have the best experience possible.

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.

The whole experience was seamless. Booking was easy and the reservation agents were friendly and helpful. The ship and its crew were super hospitable and efficient. The Poseidon Expedition Team was amazing! Their enthusiasm is infectious. They learned the names of all the passengers, made everyone feel like part of the group, went out of their way to assist passengers with any questions or needs, and always put safety first while delivering a fun and one-of-a-kind vacation. Can't wait for my next Poseidon Expedition adventure!!!

Very finally, and after two years in a row of postponements due to Covid pandemic, we made it from Germany to Ushuaia and embarked MS SEA SPIRIT. Already before, we appreciated outstandingly superior service from POSEIDON, Hamburg, with all the reshuffling next to extra pre -and after cruise activities such as flights and hotel accommodations. Once on bord, seemlessly, excellence in customer centric services made our days to/from Antarctica passing the Drake Passage at "lake" and shake" conditions. MS SEA SPIRIT had been our "safe base" for the coming 10 days. Away from any human settlement, the ship operation is a 24/7 task, brilliantly mastered by the entire ship-crews and expedition teams. The Chef produced miracles in the galley three times a day. Very well planned with no opportunity to visit a grocery store around the corner. On-shore landings and Zodiac cruises had been provided highly professional, fast and safe, at any time. Approximatly 100 guest from different cultures, some in trouble, stated a remarkable example, people can live in peace and is their nature. During the cruise, rich wildlife was around at its best. We stopped counting whales and penguines after a while next to all kind of birds and seals. All together, fond memories are engraved into brains and remembering with great pleasure any time. Last not least, MS SEA SPIRIT stands for a remarkable example what sustainability is about. All parts of the vessel are treated with great care and a prominent attention to detail, in combination with lasting traditions enhancing gracious living. High Five.
