Sehr gute Organisation. Schiff, Zodiak, Landgänge, Lektoren, Schiffpersonal und natürlich hatten wir auch ein gutes Reisebüro.

6 weeks after a 9 day cruise around Svalbard and I am still ambivalent. The ship (Sea Spirit) is a very comfortable and pleasant floating hotel - the hotel staff is excellent and it would get a 4.5* rating (the missing 1/2* due to the lackluster entertainment in the bar). The expedition part of the cruise was disappointing. The staff were mostly knowledgeable in their respective domains, but many of the landing sites were old whaling stations and it appeared that the ship was actively trying to avoid the ice. As the cruise was marketed "In Search of Polar Bears" and the bears are most likely to be on and around ice, this was a serious letdown.

We just returned from a 9 day cruise on the Poseidon Sea Spirit around Svalbard. The ship was pleasant and the crew was friendly, but the trip was very disappointing. The captain and expedition leader were extremely cautious. They did not take us near the ice. They did nothing to make the trip interesting and exciting. One landing was generally the same as all of the others. When they had the chance to stretch go a little further and take a chance to see different wildlife or views, they opted not to do so. We had hoped for a once in lifetime experience but the trip was the equivalent of what I envision as a Caribbean cruise in the cold. When we returned to Longyearbyen, we spoke to people who had been on other boats at the same time in virtually the same waters we had sailed through. They told us that their captain had gone further and that they described amazing experiences. We have been all over the world to many out-of-the way places, including Antarctica. Our Antarctic adverture with Polar Latitiude was wonderful--and our captain and expedition leader were much more willing push themselves and the boat to provide us with a fantastic adventure. This was lacking in our Poseidon Arctic cruise.

A wonderful and exciting expedition to the Arctic. The staff were fantastic and the lectures really informative.

I recently went to Antarctica with a team from Poseidon Expeditions. The whole trip was faultless. The team were very experienced in many avenues, very dedicated and fluent with their individual roles. The care, interest and humour they showed with their interaction with the guests was amazing. I would highly recommend Poseidon Expeditions to anyone seeking adventure at any age.

I have been recommending this company & this adventure to everyone. I willingly expected to be taking a basic, not-so-glamorous, bunk bed trip on a working expedition ship. Instead I got class all the way - a warm, delightful spacious room, a-la-carte meals, excellent entertainment (go Johnny), wonderful crew and very personable, knowledgeable expedition staff...all topped off with a deep and unique close-up experience of Antarctica and its wildlife, the ice and the ocean. An experience that cannot be described...you just have to do it yourself. I would do it again. Antarctica with Poseidon - memorable, educational, soulful, classy, fun. DO IT!! Linda H

pretty good experience, nice stuffs.

We enjoyed our trip in the Antarctica, every thing was great but I had an accident on the very first day and this made the whole trip difficult and painful! The dinky approaching the beach to collect us hit me on the chest, and I fell on my back and hit the pebbles. The pain was unbearable and I couldn't sleep throughout the cruise. Now I am well but it took me four months to recover and the whole experience was stigmatized by this accident! Hélène TCHOMLEKDJOGLOU Livieratos
