Saw Fin whales which is fairly rare considering how few there are in the world.

Due to our itinerary change, we had one day in Antarctica, sailing Admiralty Bay on King George Island for a few hours in the morning, and then all around Elephant Island, from Cape Valentine to Point Wild in the evening. Both these places were amazing. There were icebergs, penguins and huge glaciers! These were spectacular sights and we were lucky with the weather. The captain and navigational team also did a fantastic job manoeuvring the ship really close and turning so that everyone onboard got great views. I'm really pleased with what I saw in Antarctica; it was amazing.

Maybe i missed something here, but after Paradise Bay and the day cruising the Pennisula. We did see more Wildlife, Penguins swimming and Whales blowing off and swimming right next to the ship. I got one photo of Penguins on the Ice...but they were babies real small lol.

Actually was really good but must adjust rating to give proper overall rating

Again, not an excursion, Saw more whales in about 90 minutes than I have seen before in my life; guessing maybe 60 whales! 68 knot winds according to Captain.

Awesome wildlife and scenery
