Hello to anyone on the Antarctica trip leaving on 12 December. I'm so looking forward to it, my most daring holiday yet!

Not going on this, but I will say that Hurtigruten are simply fantastic.  Have not been on the Admundsen but have just returned from Norway on the Nordkapp - absolutely great.  Hurtigruten are very well organised.  Thoroughly recommend them.  A great JY choice.

Same here... it's a bucket list holiday for me. I certainly get some raised eyebrows whenever I mention that I'm going to Antarctica!! Looking forward to meeting you.

Thanks for that. I have the Hurtigruten brochure and their trips look very good. Glad you enjoyed Norway, I loved the fjords, so beautiful and peaceful.

Hello Una, looking forward to meeting you too. Antarctica has been on my list since I was at school, so I had to go now I have the opportunity.

Cheers!

Bee and Una,

You are two very lucky people !

I’ve had my eyes on Antarctica for months and was eager to book the JY 2020 November trip as soon as it was confirmed only to find it’s been removed from the catalogue. :-(

The Christmas trip doesn’t appeal sadly.

Would have loved to mingle with the penguins, especially the gentoos and adelies.

I hope it lives up to your expectations. I don’t see how it can fail !

What an awesome and unique ‘holiday’ you have lined up.

Have a great time and good luck with the Drake Passage !!

Roger
