What Our Guests Say
We were in awe of the knowledge shared and approachability of the Expedition Team! Without a doubt the most amazing trip of my life! My first with A&K and definitely not the last!
— Kristin; Chicago, IL; December 2021
A&K’s Expedition Team of guides, naturalists and Zodiac drivers are amazing! Our trip would not have been as rich and complete without their knowledge and care. Fantastic places like South Georgia and Antarctica require experienced "sherpas" to guide you. We are very glad to have had this trip with such an experienced team. Congratulations! Amazing team!
— Carlos; Distrito Federal, Mexico; December 2021
The entire trip was amazing! And I literally have no complaints. The Expedition Team was outstanding! Patient, friendly, eager to give us a great experience. Well done!
— David; Waynesville, OH; November 2021
The ship was fabulous, the itinerary was great, your Expedition Team was first rate, and as a kicker, our weather was absolutely beautiful. This was our fourth trip with A&K and certainly will not be our last.
