The naturalists aboard were so knowledgable, and we went on excursions daily....weather permitting!
The experience was one I wouldn't trade for anything. Go, if you have the chance.

As everyone should be aware after the disastrous Costa sinking this weekend, safety is the number one consideration in any cruise, particularly one to Antarctica. Choose your ship to the bottom of the world based on safety, not luxury. I wouldn't even consider a ship to that destination unless it were an icebreaker. My best friend has been hounding me for years to cruise to Antarctica, but she wants to go the "cheap" route. No way!

hull has nothing to do with luxury, but yes, you can compare hull types
speaking of which, is there a good reference on this?
and OTOH while i dont know the world's itin, maybe not as interesting after all
not sure how itins for largest ships even work?
if anything sinkings reinforce my preference for smaller ships, and not large ships
