Review

Polar Latitudes is Exceptional.

Antarctica is definitely a special place on its own. But Polar Latitudes takes it to a whole other amazing level. The service is flawless. No detail is overlooked. The expedition crew extremely qualified. They are the ones that made the trip special. Their energy, engaging personalities, and knowledge are incredible. The ship is beautiful and very comfortable. I love the Ship size as it lent to more shore time and a tighter community feel. You got to know the passengers who are all English speaking and quite friendly. Polar Latitudes is definitely the way to travel Antarctica. This company is very well run; it shows in everything they do.

I have traveled between all continents by sea and cruised along three dozen rivers. Ships and travel are in my blood, and so is writing. My journeys have translated into many books and many hundreds of articles.
