This was my 12th Exodus cycling trip and this was one of the most fantastic! The countryside and mountains are among the most beautiful in Europe. Our group leader was outstanding, taking care of our many different needs and organising some of the best meals we've had. Brilliant cycling on amazing roads, guided by the best leader, Armando

First two days due to strong winds we were exploring unexpectedly fjord near Kangerlussuaq airport in Greenland. This affected the planned itinerary and expedition team worked hard to resolve various issues. It was a very memorable experience with 18 nights on board of Ultramarine. We have visited places where no other expedition ships have been or only visited on rare occasions. We were lucky with clear skies on the first 6 nights and the Aurora Borealis was better and better on each night. Glaciers, icebergs were nice backdrops on many photos and experiences were enhanced with helicopter flights over magnificent landscapes of Baffin island (Sam Ford fjord especially) and Greenland. Wonderful autumn colours of tundra and rock formations were explored on many hikes in addition to the visits to archeological sites. Introduction to Inuit culture and history was during visits to Itileq, Ilulissat, Uummannaaq, Nipisat island and Pond Inlet. It was enhanced by performances of local artists and visits to Inuit colourful homes. Although the wildlife of Arctic is not so plentiful as in Antarctica, we managed to have wonderful observations of numerous polar bears (12 in one day!), seals and birds. We also followed somewhat the footsteps of Franklin's expedition and reached the Beechey island where the expedition has spent the winter in 1845/46 and where are some graves of the sailors. Expedition team members presented many interesting lectures on history, geology, birds and bears. It was also a nice culinary experience of Greenlandic cuisine: Tundra to Table.

The ship and staff for the journey provided enthusiastic, effective and patient support, with a well-executed itinerary that I'd trust for future trips. Food and accommodation were excellent. Waters were very calm once reaching Antarctica, to relieve anyone's seasickness. Mountain and Glacier landscapes were great. The wildlife in the area is plentiful, where we saw at least some whales, seals and penguins every day we were in Antarctica and probably 20ish whales overall. The animals aren't afraid of humans and so at worst ignore you as you get fairly close. Extra downtime filled with interesting presentations about history, animals, current antarctic science and recent environmental issue affecting it. If you absolutely must have Emporer penguins, elephant seals or Orca, check the season you're going as we saw just a few but they were unusual and not to be expected at the time/places we went. I'd recommend this trip to anyone I knew going to Antarctica who hasn't been there before and doesn't have extremely specific desires for wildlife that I didn't mention. It's fun, comprehensive, and the minimum commitment required for the adventure it offers. This trip took place on the Ocean Endeavor, in early-mid February, on the West side of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The Greek Wanderer was an awesome trip around four separate islands (Syros, Paros,Naxos & Santorini) -each different & interesting. Loved it all. The transfer on ferries between islands is quite a process with lining up, crowd jostling, hauling suitcases, managed exceptionally well by our experienced guide Charlotte. Greek food is awesome with fresh salads, local herbs and warm freshly baked breads. The hi light for me were the hikes. Some were a ramble, others were more challenging but each was sensational. Stone walled laneways, mountain vistas, donkeys, horses, wild herbs of thyme, dill, rosemary perfuming the air. Poles & good walking boots made it comfortable & safe. Our wonderful guide Charlotte, ensured everyone was catered for. With varying levels of fitness & desire to get hot & sweaty, Charlotte always offered alternate activities. You could remain at the hotel enjoying the pool, stroll around local sites or do partial walks & catch a local bus back to accommodation. The accommodation was basic but adequate. With mostly private family run businesses they offered a more personal touch. Some hotels lacked lifts (stairs only), so best keep your luggage as lightweight as possible. Our sensational guide Charlotte ensured all ran like clockwork. Buses, ferries, taxis, museums, restaurants were all organised & details communicated to each member of the group via WhatsApp. I would recommend this trip.

Our hiking guide, Enrico, was excellent! We truly felt like he cared about us and tried to cater each day to all of our desires. He was energetic and positive, knowledgeable and communicated well. Our hotel was also excellent! They, too, seemed to really care about all of us and wanted to meet our needs. The food was very good and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. We loved San Lazarro where the hotel was located. It was a quiet and peaceful town. And, I must add that the bus drivers were excellent! Wow, how could they do that driving on the very narrow roads. They had excellent control of their large buses in very tight situations.
