Jill,

Thanks for the info.  We might be interested in the winter of 2009.  When will the 2009 trips be listed?  Antarctica is definitely a location we'd love to visit. 

Happy Holidays!

It was so sad to see this ship go down. We never used the Explorer, but it was built by Lindblad and sold to another operator years ago.

This was such an odd occurance, as it was the first Tourist passenger ship ever to sink in Antarctica.

The ships we used for Antarctica were the Orion (now in Australia) and the Corinthian II - both are luxury, newer vessels that hold about 100 people.

Anyone interested in going to Anartcica in the winter09/spring 2010?

Jill

Isn't the Explorer the ship that Olivia uses for it's Antarctic cruises?  Very grateful that all are ok and that this didn't happen during an Olivia trip.  Now I understand the importance of the "muster" drills on the ships that we have sailed on. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
