Classic Antarctica - Trip First of all special thanks to Celia from PolarTours, she provided an A+++ support during the booking process and before the cruise. If I will book another polar trip, I will definitely come back to Celia again. I had a very good onboard experience. The food on the ship were very delicious. They asked about certain food wishes and allergies. The butler, maid, restaurant & bar staffs - everyone was very professional, helpful & friendly. All the time they were making sure the comfort & convenience of all guests. All of the landings and zodiac cruises were smooth and safe. The ship needs to invest in a better inter-ship audio/video system and in better lectures.

Incredible experience, MV Ushuaia is probably the best ship out there as it only has 90 passengers, as 100 people is the max aloud on land at any time, all other ships have to stay in place all day, as half go on land in the morning and half go on land in the afternoon, MV Ushuaia all go on land in the morning, then the ship moves to another destination and then all go on land again in the afternoon. Staff on board are also amazing, a personal touch you wouldn't get on the bigger ships

My journey to Antarctica was truly a dream come true. The experience exceeded all my expectations, thanks to the outstanding professional support provided throughout the trip. Everything was well-organized and on time, making the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. A special shoutout to Bruna, who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect—she definitely deserves a pay rise! The ship, while older, was impeccably clean, and the staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and always ready to assist. The intimate setting of a smaller boat allowed for quick connections with fellow travelers, making the experience even more special. There was never a dull moment, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. One of the highlights? The cold plunge into Antarctic waters—an absolute must-do for anyone visiting! I highly recommend experiencing Antarctica at least once in a lifetime. It’s an adventure like no other!

The most amazing experience of my life! These 10 days on board of Ushuaia I will never forget. Everything was great, amazing staff, great food, and Antarctica itself.. stunning! We've had continental landings, Antarctic plunge, even Drake's Passage that gave us bit rough time - feels so good to conquer and own it all! Paradise for photographers too - a lot of wildlife that come so close! Don't think twice, it's sooooo worth it!

Outstanding experience from the start of the booking process (thank you Bruna), to the end of the trip. The expedition was excellent and the crew were fantastic - very experienced, clearly took pride in their work, ensuring everyone was safe and having a good time. The boat and facilities were also very good. I really enjoyed all of the landings, the hikes, wildlife (so many penguins and whales) and zodiac tours but a highlight was the iceberg alley and navigating the Lemaire Channel and Deception Island. The only negative was that due to it being the last trip of the season, the bar ran out of some drinks quite early on in the trip. However the good thing about the end of season was we were the last boat back to Ushuaia and it was a relaxed disembarkment. We were also very lucky with the weather and none of the planned route and landings were changed due to this. I would highly recommend this tour, great value for money and as it was a smaller boat, we got to go to places other larger vessels could not.

Antarctica was great, the team on the boat were excellent, helpful and resourceful. All very accommodating setting up and throughout the journey. (copied from Swoop Antarctica)
