So - you've read the brochure, been scanning through the website, have watched the films March of the Penguins and even Happy Feet - now's your chance to read an entertaining first-hand account from one of our passengers who travelled aboard the 110-passenger M/V Orlova on the Classic Antarctica voyage (visiting the South Shetland Islands and the Peninsula) starting on 10 November in Ushuaia last year.
Many thanks to Annie King for allowing us to post this link - looks like she had a wonderful time - we're of course not jealous at all!!! Annie's blog starts in the UK - with the flight over to Argentina, and then begins in earnest in Ushuaia at Tierra del Fuego (the end of the world...). Read on and you'll learn about Annie's relatively calm crossing of the dreaded Drake Passage (renowned as one of the roughest stretches of water in the world), leading on to the first sightings of Antarctica and her amazing experiences exploring the wonders of the white continent.
It was lovely to see my colleague Rachel's name mentioned - we were delighted that Discover the World was able to assist in the planning of Annie's trip of a lifetime. Not a bad job that we have - helping make experiences like Annie's happen!
