jcruizer Posted February 24, 2018 #105 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We are on our way to BA today with a sailing date from Ushuaia of the 28th to Antarctica.

He normally charters 'Sea Spirit' but often others. Not sure of his sailing date, he flew out on Wednesday, but probably did some business first in Santiago/Ushuaia. I hope ye olde Drake Passage is kind. !! Above all enjoy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rough going around the horn for us early this year. However we are all booked for Feb18 on Quark to visit Antarctica. Not looking forward to the crossing but I hear its really worth it.

We had an overnight there, and just arrived in Ushuaia midday today. We are also departing for Antarctica/South Georgia on the 28th, but on Ponant.

jcruizer Posted March 10, 2018 #116 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The Drake was kind to us and we had the best holiday/expedtion. Quark are amazing. We were off at least twice a day. Highly recommend.

Sent from my SM-G900I using Forums mobile app My son took a special McGrath Foundation fund raising expedition to the Antarctic the other week, he used 'Sea Spirit' ship. Amongst others on board a few special guests including Peter Fitzsimmons the author, who tells a good tale.:* Anyway for them the Drake Passage was quite calm.:') We will have to get there one day, perhaps on a BOGO, lol.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted May 22, 2018 #118 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Just an update on this thread for anyone contemplating a cruise down that way..... check out - Jan 2020 Coral Princess - she will be including the Antarctica Peninsula on her Sth America cruise, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted April 3, 2019 Author #119 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Still dreaming of Antarctica as all the wounds heal. my local agency who associate with travel invited me to a Chimu presentation yesterday. While indicating they are basically wholesalers, they did say they have taken a lease on the Ocean Endeavour and running their own Antarctic and Arctic sailings. Priced in Oz dollars. Chimu have an early bird sale for 2020/21 season, but she indicated many of the other lines do also. Ponant has some at 30% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
