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!

It was an amazing trip right from the very beginning. Clear instructions before the trip, along with tips and recommendations, were provided. The representative was always attentive and answered all our questions via email. The pre-boarding and boarding processes were well-organized and quick. The onboard experience was incredible: informative lectures from the expedition team, exceptionally clean rooms, housekeeping service all day long available, friendly and attentive staff, and breakfast, lunches, and dinners with a wide variety of tasty options. The rooms (we were at the 4th floor) were spacious and very comfortable. The program itself was well-designed from every perspective: - Different locations with diverse landscapes. - We saw all the animals we were hoping for, such as penguins, whales, seals, and birds. - High levels of safety were maintained at every step. - There was a very responsible and eco-friendly approach to travel. - Very interesting and diverse guest from all over the world! On the ship, we found a reception, doctor, bar, small fitness center, library and even a jacuzzi on one of the decks—a truly amazing experience! There was also the captain's deck, available for visits (not always, of course), a restaurant, a mini-bar in the room, and laundry service. My only suggestions, to bring something to hydrate your skin as the air both outside and inside could be quite dry. Overall, we always felt comfortable, safe, and entertained. The level of detail and care in the planning and execution really made it a memorable experience. Already recommended to a couple of friends.

Diesen Frühsommer verbrachten wir eine eindrückliche Expeditionsreise. Vom Schiff aus beobachteten wir schöne Landschaften imposante Eisberge und Packeis sowie auch Robben und Wahlfische. Das High-light zum Schluss unserer Reise war die Tour mit kleinen Booten durch die riesigen Eisberge. Die Expeditionsleiter/innen vermitteteln uns viel Wissenswertes über Land und Leute, sowie auch über verschidene Tiere. Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese erlebnisreiche, tolle Reise

We booked this cruise in 2022. When we arrived in Svalbard, they would not allow my husband on board as they claimed he tested positive to covid, although he had all vaccinations and no symptoms. They would not allow me on board although I tested negative. We were stranded on Svalbard with no help from the company and the boat left. They would not refund monies. Thus, we rebooked in 2023 at an increased cost and lower cabin quality. The boat and food were good and the staff well organized. But we rate the trip a 1 star. Our trip included a flight from LYR to Oslo. at the end of the cruise. We requested an early flight which we needed to make our ongoing arranged and paid for travel plans to Mongolia possible. We were informed late June, when we were in Europe, that we were on a 7:30 pm flight (not listed in their information). We were told that there were no spaces on earlier flights. She refused to change the flight plans. We asked the company rep in Svalbard for help and were told they were independent contractors and could not help us. In panic, we booked an earlier flight (which was available) at a cost of $926.00. On board, we asked the company rep for help and requested a refund. We were told again that they were independent contractors and could not help us. Upon disembarking at the end of the trip, the company arranged for bus transportation to the airport for those on the two earlier flights but did not even have transportation for the later flight we were put on. We could not find who to contact with our problem or where the main office is located. Is this a company you want to trust with your travel plans and monies?
Response from Poseidon ExpeditionsAug 21, 2023
Dear Edith, While it is true that you were not allowed to board in 2022 when your husband tested positive for Covid-19, this was the policy of our ship as well as all other expedition ships at that time. Knowingly exposing our passengers, staff and crew to an active case of Covid went against all safety and medical protocols that were in place at that time. They were clearly stated in all of our literature. As a gesture of goodwill we transferred the entirety of your payment from this cruise to the one in 2023 which was. according to the Terms and Conditions you signed, was non-refundable, non-transferable. Your air was not booked through Poseidon Expeditions and therefore, due to privacy issues, we could not access your airline records to assist with rebooking the flight. Our sales rep, Jennifer, assisted you while in Svalbard, but she was not able to make changes for your flight. You were successful in rebooking your flight out that day. You flew home on the same plane as Jennifer. Regarding this year’s flight issue, at no time did we publish or promise flight times. On your passenger forms you listed a flight from Longyearbyen to Oslo as your departure flight. There was no mention of a flight out of Oslo to Mongolia. We have email saying you were leaving the US early for a trip to Europe prior to the expedition, but no mention of Mongolia until June 26, 2023, ten days prior to your expedition. When we asked you about your ongoing flight we received no answer until July 5th, at which time it was too late for us to change your tickets that were non-changeable and non-refundable. The flights we booked for you were on July 17, 2023, as promised and did not cause any misconnect with your ongoing flight on July 18th. We did everything according to policy and the promise to our customers.

My experience with Poseidon exceeded all of my expectations. We chose them because the Sea Spirit is small and we wanted to be sure we could land. From Mario with his endless good cheer, and whale encounters with Maxim and Maggie, to Ari's excellent, constant care of our room, it was more than I even hoped. The dining room staff, particularly Rey and Angelo seemed to delight in finding ways to take care of us and make sure every little thing was just right. Ive stayed at Anantara and Belmond properties and i highly recommend them, but, when talking about service, this Poseidon crew took better care of me. Expedition leaders were knowledgeable and worked to keep us safe. Their talks were interesting and informative. The kitchen somehow produced a variety of delicious food (in particular, the soups were amazing). Someone really knows how to shop bc there is no Whole Foods in Antarctica. How they make hot food while going through the Drake is beyond me. We were blessed, excellent weather and lots of animals. Special moments - One day we were surrounded by humpbacks while out in a zodiac, the day they transported the kitchen up on deck and we enjoyed lunch outside, zooming around Spert Island, moments I will treasure forever.

Sind inzwischen Stammkunde bei Poseidon Expedition. Sehr freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiter und Beratung im Büro Hamburg. Danke Frau Schneider ;) Tipp: Glauben Sie NUR dem Büro und nicht irgendwelchen Vermittlern. Die so gebuchten Leistungen stimmen oft nicht mit der Realität überein. Die Reise an sich war ebenfalls hervorragend organisiert und voller unvergesslicher Eindrücke. Viele Grüße
