Expedition to the Falklands & South Georgia
The expedition met all our expectations. The team made a real effort to ensure we had as many landings as were feasible given the conditions. Landings were well organised, safe and swift. The expedition team varied a little in quality, friendliness and knowledge. It was disappointing not to have a naturalist on board and we felt it was top heavy on photography. The cabin was spacious and really comfortable. Polar Spirit (max approx 112 but we were 86) was well stabilised with great outdoor viewing. The food was generally very good and the choice was generous. There were about 13 different nationalities amongst the guests and this enhanced the experience. The wildlife and other viewings on South Georgia were absolutely wonderful. The Falkland landings were also good but a whole day in Stanley felt excessive. Poseidon use the Arakur hotel in Ushuaia for the night before the trip and this was excellent. Luggage collection and other arrangements were faultless. Poseidon made it possible for us to visit these incredible places in a small(ish) ship at an affordable price and to do so comfortably, efficiently and safely. We would recommend this trip.
