Ice field cruising is in fact a great deal of fun. I remember being so close to a leopard seal that we literally could touch it as it was biting the raft. Of course nobody dared to extend a hand out. There were several other types of actions.

We were on a different Ponant ship in 2012. We were very pleased. The 200 passenger size is not a problem at all. I frankly think it is an ideal size considering how turbulent a Drake crossing can be. The guides are top notch and the French meals better than any cruise I ever had.

There are usually two boat rides a day: one landing and one ice field cruising. Every day is busy.
