Looking forward to hearing from those on the sailing this June and what they see. We have done research and there is a lot of different information on what you see/do. As with any wildlife, one never knows. Was just hoping to get more feedback from those that have actually done it. Happy sailing!

That is great, however I am looking for more information - Icebergs, land masses, vegetation, wildlife sighting??? We are trying to figure out if this is worth it. Did Antarctica so will this be a let down?

We are thinking of doing the Artic/Svalbard on the Venture and just in that area (round trip from . No Greenland or Iceland as we have been there before. We are wondering what we will see in Svalbard? We of course want the Polar Bears but what about Icebergs, Birds, other wildlife? MB

your trip sounds great so far. Can you tell us if you are going to South Georgia Island?

I was just reading that Le Austral carries 264 passengers however I thought for Antarctica there are less, does anyone know for sure?

Thank you!

Does anyone know what the onboard booking discount is for Ponant if you book while on board?

Does anyone know if the boots provided by Ponant in Antarctica come in half sizes? Are they insulated? Do you need thick socks? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

these look like galoshes.......anyone know if they are insulated?

No, Ponant hasn't released it yet which is so frustrating as we leave soon. Once I get it and hopefully before we leave I will post it.

Just got notice from Ponant that they are canceling South Georgia Island from our cruise due to the Bird Flu. Very few details about what is happening instead. Anyone else know?

Thanks. I think we were over thinking it. Dinners are were we were so confused….do I wear slacks or a dress each night or are yoga pants with uggs and top good?

What is the dress attire for Ponant - Expedition/Antarctica cruise? Day time attire when not out on shore, dinners?? Reading mixed reviews so really confused.. Thanks in advance!

Good to know - thanks! On another note, is the polar plunge offered?

Thanks for this. I have to say I am extremely disappointed in what Ponant offers as complimentary for a "luxury" cruise line. What about specialty coffees and such, is there a charge for that too?
