Amazing !!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing !!!!
Absolutely wonderful videography and gentle narration. We learned a lot and enjoyed your video.
What a great compilation of your trip. We are boarding the Sapphire on January 4, 2023 for this great adventure. What camera did you use for the fantastic views?
I used a Panasonic HC-V770M, which is an average quality camera. Whatever you use it will capture your memories to enjoy again and again. Have a fantastic cruise.
This is AMAZING!! Like watching a documentary. It’s a dream of mine as a scientist to see Antartica and I was engrossed in this. Thank you!!!
Great video. Just started looking for these types of videos. I’m on the Diamond Princess in Jan 2022. Can you tell me how heavy a coat you need? I know we are not getting off of course in Antarctica but the other stops look quite cold. Thanks.
Glad you liked the video. The coldest part was when we were down in Antarctica. The wind was freezing and it did snow a little one morning. You definitely need gloves, hats and a very warm jacket. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Enjoyed it - tastefully done. Thank you.
Wonderful travelogue. The camerawork is very nice. The map insets as the cruise progressed is quite helpful and educational. Nice camera work on the penquins and whales.
We were on the same cruise; absolutely delightful, especially considering what has happened after our return. Memories of this will stay with us forever. Thank you for sharing!
A wonderful documentary of the cruise. The Coral Princess is coming down under next year.
she is doing the
world Cruise 2022.

GP I found your video on UA-cam obviously but to find out we were on the same ship @ the same time. Nice job on the video and how organized your video was. Thanks for doing such a nice job, let me relived the trip all over again. I am already thinking whenI can get back down there one more time and actually walk on the continent next time. Hope you and your family are safe and healthy.
Wonderful video and such professional camera work. Thanks so much.
I was on this same cruise. What an amazing adventure thank you for sharing!!!
Just SEEING Antarctica would be incredible.
Thank you for this video. My grandpa is on this same ship now that is the reason I searched it on UA-cam
What device did you use for filming - absolutely amazing footage!
I used a Panasonic video camera It's only medium quality but gives good quality output.
Thank you for sharing
@@gplumridge9813 - me again
Can you share your model - your videos we’re just breathtaking - thanks
What an amazing video. You did an exceptional job filming the experience and adding just enough commentary for the viewer to feel part of the experience. That cruise with Princess is on my bucket list. The view of Cape Horn was spectacular!!! Did you participate in any of the enrichment programs? If so, were they helpful? I plan to study about the areas on the itinerary once I book the cruise, so I will be well informed. Was there anything about the itinerary that did not meet your expectations? On a scale from 1- 10, with 10 being fabulous, how would you rate the cruise?
Thanks for your comments. The whole itinerary was great as it's a very unique part of the world and we enjoyed it all. There were lots of enrichment programs and we attended many and learnt a lot about Antarctica (history, wildlife, weather etc.) and thoroughly enjoyed them. Could only rate the entire cruise a 10 out of 10. It was amazing. It was better than what a video could convey.
Hopefully it's not too long before you can experience it for yourself.
@@gplumridge9813 Thank you for your honest opinion. I am looking at a 14 day on board the Sapphire Princess in Feb 2023. I have a 21 day New Zealand/Queensland booked for Feb 2022, or I would book the Antarctica then!!! Again, thank you for the video and your comments.
We are on the Sapphire February 2023 doing this itinerary. Thank you for posting your experience so beautifully
Loved watching this.It brought back some great memories of the trip and the good times we had with you on board.
You have done an excellent job of showcasing this cruise!
We are hoping to take this cruise in the near future.
I would love to ask you some questions about this cruise.
Please let me know if I can reach out to you.
I would be pleased to answer your questions
Excelent video very good quality, I will be in a similar cruise next january
I'm sure you will enjoy your cruise.
Thank you for the video,were planning to take antarctica cruise, we just dont know what is the cruise ship we want to take. Thank you for the video.
Wonderful video, what amazing images!!
I will be doing this trip in 02/2023 and can´t wait to get on board!!
Maybe you can help with a question.
What language were the majority of the passengers speaking?
Were they mostly spanish speaking or english?
My english is pretty well I think, but I have to admit that my spanish is a little rusty. ☺️
Most passengers spoke English and certainly all the crew do also. Glad you enjoyed the video and I'm sure you will have a great time on the cruise.
@@gplumridge9813 thank you very much for your reply!!
I was on this same cruise same dates. To answer your question. Most passengers spoke english, but we met people from all over. Amazing experience. I would do it again.
@@lynelljansen8057 thank you very much for your reply.
I really can´t wait for the cruise to start.
Besides, I am really glad that I booked for 23 and not 22 looking at the current Covid situation which is getting worse again. ☹️
435 days to go!!
I really enjoyed your wonderful video. We have booked a Azamara Antarctica cruise on Jan 7, 2023. Google search shows days high temperature there is minus 37 degree Ferenheit. But in your video captain said today's temperature is about 37 degree. Not minus. We can handle 37 degree F but not minus. What was average day temperature during the four days in Antarctica? Thanks for helping us decide on what clothes we need.
Can't remember the exact temperature, but it was icy. Needed jackets, gloves and hats then still went inside regularly to warm up. It did snow early one morning and I have seen videos with very heavy snow on the decks. So it will definitely be cold but it's all worth it. Have a great trip.
absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video of your once in several lifetimes vacation!!
Thank you for a great video! This is a bucket list cruise for me - hopefully in a few years.
Did panamacanal 2018
Excellent video travel log. Can you tell me what type of camera you used to get the photos of wild life from the ship. Thank you! Very much enjoyed your informative narration
I use a Panasonic HC-V770 video camera. It's mid range but does have a 50 times zoom.
Very Nice Video, We had this booked for 2020, canceled and just booked again for 2023. Thank you so Much for making this,, may I ask, what is your DAY Job? You did a Great job on this, takes a LOT of work and knowledge for sure. This will be our #30 Princess cruise
I'm retired and do the videos as a hobby. Have done 9 Princess cruises and this one was the best. Have videos of several other cruises on UA-cam if you are interested.
Saya pernah melalui punten arenas, di sana pemandangannya indah sekali
Great video. Professional and informative 😃thank you
We leave for this cruise in 9 days.
Thanks for the video. I wondered how much of the continent I would see if I took this cruise. This really helps. Can you tell me what cabin no. you stayed in. The wrap around balcony had great views.
We had cabin C309 and it did provide great views. Hope you take the cruise and love it like we did.
Silly question other than Covid did you need any vaccinations for this holiday?
No vacs required.. (Cruise was pre-covid)
Looks like such an amazing trip. I’m stuck between doing a cruise like you did now or saving up for an expedition cruise as I want to step foot onto the actual continent and not just sail.
Were you able to set foot - that’s our dream as well.
We’re on Princess 1/24 - super excited
You can only step foot on Antarctica from expedition ships hence the higher prices. Regular cruise ships just sail slowly past the continent
It's interesting how lakes, rivers and oceans are all perfectly level on a round blob globe earth... 😒
Brought back a few memories as we were on the same trip as you. Thanks for the revisit.
My pleasure!
If I'll not mistaken I think you were on the ths same cruise another UA-camR was on. He never released the rest if his video. Thanks for sharing yours
@@carolyngardner4999 We took Celebrity out of Buenos Aires round trip. Itinerary was Buenos Aires--Ushuaia--Cape Horn--Paradise Bay--Elephant Island--Falkland Islands (cancelled due to weather) Puerto Madryn , Argentina, back to Buenos Aires. We arrived back on Feb 2nd and had just starting hearing about COVID. Fortunately, we weren't forced to quarantine. The trip was fantastic!!
Still amazing that cruise lines use a ship much better suited to a warm climate for this adventure. Not much use of pool deck.
Fantastic , I really enjoyed that .....seeing Penguins in their natural environment is a long held ambition of mine
Hello there! This is amazing, I mean you took good pics of your travel, give me chills, I was hoping that you guys provide me some advice to take this cruise, me and my friends we were expecting to take this one early next year, so if you have any advice or topics that we should take into consideration, I appreciate all your help. Thank you.
This was a great video. I’m torn between doing a San Antonio to Buenos Aires cruise (skipping Antarctica) or round trip from Buenos Aires to Antarctica. Did you prefer one segment of your cruise over another?
It's hard to pick a favourite section as all was great, but I think Antarctica was the best. It's just so different to anywhere else and the whales, seals and penquins were amazing.
Looks like an incredible trip. My wife and I have considered taking such a cruise. Were there any children on board? We would take our son when he is 8-10.
Also, what sort of camera lens did you use to film the whales/penguins? Extreme telephoto?
Is was an incredible trip and I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy like we did.
There were children on board and they have a Kids Club that provides many activities for them.
I use a medium quality video camera which has a 50X lens, so not an extreme telephoto lens. The whales were very close to the ship and the penguins a bit further.
I hope you get to do it someday.
How much was this? I wanna do it
Very nicely shot. Well narrated too.
I have a cabin on hold for Dec 2022. This might sound silly, but was it cold inside the ship?
No. Fully air conditioned and very comfortable. Very cold on deck and kept going inside to warm up. Make sure you take good jackets, hats, gloves etc. An amazing trip, hope you go and enjoy it as we did.
@@gplumridge9813 good stuff. Thanks for the answer.
Looks like that you just sail around part of Antarctica? You didn`t get off on the land?
No we didn't, but still an amazing experience.
@@gplumridge9813 Thank you for replying.
I’d be amazed if they let tourists tramp around on Antarctica !
Some small ship cruises do have shore excursions, hopefully under very strict controls.
@@gplumridge9813.... Yes I have seen some on you tube since posting.... I'd just be happy seeing it, I wouldnt need to walk on it
Great job! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Great video of a trip of a lifetime.
Must have been a complete downer when it was over?
It's a bit of a downer when any holiday ends , but it's also nice to go home to see family. Thanks for your comments.
