Antartica on RSSC Explorer II

[ChucksOK]

Has anyone done this cruise? RSSC only offers this twice/year with a reduced passenger count of 198 (rather than the 394 capacity) and it sounds exciting. Comments please. This year it was 1/16/06 and 1/27/06. Thanks in advance for any input.

I did Antarctica with a different cruise line now defunct. Having only 198 people would be a positive since they only allow so many people on the island at one time. It is awesome to sit and watch penquins walk and play all around you. The scenery IMO is beautiful. We saw some of the deepest blue icebergs.
