Greenland cruise, July 5 through July 14, 2023
July
Pros: Service, cabin, food, preparation, ratio of guests to expedition team, iceberg cruise, terrific
Cons: Quality of meat, cuts, destinations, post, overland tour or did not keep track of guests left people behind in the cold rain
Recommended: Yes
Overland tour post trip needs to be better supervisor or better organized to account for all guests. The cold Greenland part locations were fantastic along with the related expeditions. Certain southern ports were excellent, but the other ports seemed all the same. Certain excursions had never been investigated before the cruise. Wouldn’t this be dangerous? Lack of wildlife, particularly walruses when it is part of the brochure.

Silver Cloud Antarctic Expedition
January
Pros: Excellent staff and service
Cons: Too many zodiac tours. Needed more zodiac landings.
Recommended: No
Quality information prior to arrival. Excellent follow up byrepresentatives in Chile. Exceptionally friendly and service oriented staff. Quality equipment and safety measures during expedition. Kayaking was well organized. While the weather was a factor with missed landings thought it might be beneficial to offer opportunities to guests who were adventurous.

Antarctica Expedition
January
Pros: Excellent expedition team and ship's company/crew.
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
Very well organized from the flights, including the charter, through embarkation, expeditions, polar plunge (!) and return home. The expedition teams were knowledgeable, friendly and very receptive to the endless passenger questions. They never hesitated to take yet another photo. Their experience and training was invaluable, particularly those team members that had spent significant time in Antarctica or extensive background in the history and/or various forms of wildlife, biology, geology or botany. The various briefings were very informative and provided history, context and background on what we saw throughout the cruise.
