Does anyone have any experience with cruising Antarcita with Norwegian Coastal Voyages? Or taken any cruises with them?

I haven't cruised in Antarctica with them, but last month I did a Spitsbergen cruise in the Arctic, and I've published an extensive review and day-by-day photo diary at:

Caveat: My cruise was on the NORDSTJERNEN, a small vintage ship that isn't used in Antarctica. NCV uses larger and newer ships in the Southern Hemisphere. However, there are similarities: Both the NORDSTJERNEN and the larger ships have Norwegian crews, for example, and the food and general shipboard atmosphere shouldn't be too different.

Hi there. We did a northbound trip afew years ago on the Nordkapp. Couldn't have been happier. The ship was great, food and people great etc. We are booked on the Nordnorge (sister ship) on nov 29 for Antarctica. We are really excited over this one. If you are just thinkinf about it right now, you better do some fast checking as they might all be sold out. Let me know if I can be of further help.

If you have a lot of time and enjoy sea days, you can even do a repositioning cruise (actually, it may be two cruises) from Norway to South America, where the Antarctica cruises begin.

Hi there if you are still looking at this board. Please take a moment to read your private message I posted to your name on the Travelserver baord last July. Seems we are both members of the same cruise message boards.
