Rare highplanesdrifters Posted May 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Just saw this pic. I guess Iggy jumped ship. 😃 Silverseas gain. Anyone know who is leading Venture Expeditions this summer. Luqui? Edited May 19, 2022 by highplanesdrifters Sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel4b Posted May 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I understand Iggy has a lot of fans. We had Luqui on Quest/Antarctica in December 2019 and thought he was great. I’d be thrilled if either were on Venture when we are aboard next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he is still with Seabourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfvoyage Posted May 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Most of the non-management expedition staff members are free-lancers and take contracts with various expedition companies and ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggys departure is potentially significant. As of 2019, Iggy was charged with scouting out landings and routes in Svalbard and other new areas for Ventures maiden trips. He is still listed as an Expedition leader on the Seabourn website. https://www.seabourn.com/en_US/experience/ventures-by-seabourn/ventures-team-northern-europe.html His sudden departure for Silversea leaves many of us wondering why, and what will the ramifications be for traveling on Venture this summer.

DTtravelers Posted August 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Unconfirmed source heard that Iggy might be on the Quest trip in Antarctica Jan 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted August 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2022 At least the current passengers on the Venture are extremely happy with the exploration staff. Guess we didn’t need Iggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTtravelers Posted August 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Do you have Lucci?? We had him in Antarctica. Awesome experience. We also had Iggy from Lima to Santiago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we didn’t need Iggy. We were extremely happy with the Venture Expeditions crew. All my concerns were for naught. Juan, Claudio and team were amazing. Pursuit is on its way and it will be nice to have Iggy back if rumors are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
