Great video! Are the jackets yours to keep?

[@adventurouswallrus]

@@NoPtoLeftBehind Thankyou. Yes they are. Ours were not super waterproof so really for keeping out the wind. They are now giving out new HX branded ones which are blue and look a bit more tasteful IMO. You can find them online. Cannot comment on what these ones are like.

[@eyesee57]

Great video. We’re hoping to do the same January 26. Did you have a camera or use a phone for your photographs?

[@adventurouswallrus]

Hi we used both tbh as our camera lens broke the day before we boarded the ship 🙄. Phone for video mostly.

[@tahirashah7501]

Fab going there in Jan 2026!

[@adventurouswallrus]

Have a fabulous time. I am sure you will.

[@iangraham871]

Us too! See you on board!

[@tashaaa1986]

Super video, very helpful. When did you travel? Will be going there in December.

[@adventurouswallrus]

Thankyou. We travelled in mid February 2024. I think you will get more and more pristine ice, better chances for whales and maybe fewer baby penguins. Also very long days. Have a fabulous time.

[@ransomovitch-sz6ox]

@@adventurouswallrushi guys greet video! you say you experienced very long days, do you mean tiring or long daylight? my understanding is there are about 7 hrs of darkness in feb due to the drastic time zone change, but most people are asleep and miss the dark because its very tiring😊was that your experience? im going in january i hope

[@ransomovitch-sz6ox]

hello tasha, you say yore going in december can i ask what dates? are you going for christmas?

[@tashaaa1986]

@@ransomovitch-sz6ox I will travel at the begining of December, so no for Christmas. If you travel for Christmas, I wish you a wonderful time. I’m counting the days 😊

[@adventurouswallrus]

Hi there. We just mean it was busy. Sunset was around 9pm and sunrise a bit before 6am. So not as short as at December. The days can be as tiring or not as you wish depending on how many of the activities you do. Overall the cruise is not particularly physically demanding.

[@sakilpalmeena5219]

In which month did you visit Antarctica?

[@adventurouswallrus]

Hi it was 17 Feb onwards

[@Blacknight1812]

thanks for sharing your video.

[@adventurouswallrus]

Glad you liked it

[@2T7D3C-p2d]

I heard that the more passengers you have onboard over 250 people it becomes harder to enjoy all the expeditions since you have to wait for all the people to get out, HX Expeditions ships carry 540 passengers, how did that work out?

[@adventurouswallrus]

Thanks for the question. There were about 430 people on our sailing. To my knowledge everyone got to go on the included excursions every day. Yes it is quite a logistical operation and always subject to weather but HX are very experienced at doing it. For the optional excursions then there is limited availability and you really have to choose one or two that you really want to do. For the kayaking we did then I think they get up to 2 groups per day so maximum would be 150 but I think it is normally more like 100 as weather not always suitable. I hope that helps. Dave. Of course it might be easier in a smaller ship but the prices go up significantly.

[@2T7D3C-p2d]

@@adventurouswallrus Thanks for the information, you are correct HX is very experienced, their ships have lots of amemenities as compared to a smaller 250 passenger ship theirs no arguing there, as for prices, from my research there are so many cruise lines offering Antarctica cruises these days, and the prices are very compeditive in all ship sizes, the smaller ships might not have the space or amenities but they make up in passenger size. Thanks again.
