1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
South Georgia is an amazing place. The beaches were packed with tens of thousands of penguins and they weren't afraid to come right up to us. The scenery in Antarctica is beautiful. There were so many highlights - penguin chicks, baby fur seals, spectacular icebergs, stunning scenery, whale watching, a polar plunge, and so much more!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Don't forget to pack sunscreen and take twice as many SD cards as you think you will need!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The holiday definitely raises environmental awareness through a series of informative presentations about wildlife, conservation and global warming.
The expedition staff were experts in all areas and advised how to reduce the environmental impact via methods such as decontamination of boots, kit etc between shore visits.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fantastic - it's more than a holiday and is so different to anything else I have ever done. Book it now!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The location......How could anyone not enjoy Antarctica? Every part of the holiday was memorable including animals, birds, scenery, the ship (Polar Pioneer), fellow travellers and expedition team.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
To choose a small expedition ship, it's much more fun.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Before visiting the Antarctic everyone receives a guidance for visitors leaflet, which should be followed to the letter. Antarctica must be kept pristine as, I am sure, all who have visited this wonderful continent will agree.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Every single day was another adventure.
