Thank you so much, Roger, for your answer!

I was traveling aboard Running on Waves in April. It was kind of 'non-typical' cruise, 'crossing' sailing, which is shorter (and much cheaper) than ordinary regular cruises, so can't say anything about diving. We crossed from Agios Nikolaos, Crete to Patras. It was a week sailing with some stops. We were interested in being aboard a sailing ship and activities like sails settings, mast climbing etc so stops were just a bonus for us. Meal and service are excellent. The cruise director and hotel manager are from Germany, look very experienced. I am not sure about chef origin, but the meal was top quality. The ship is beautiful, both outside and interior, the hm said it goes to refitting every winter. The only ’not really good’ thing was weather – we had 2 grey days out of 7. But the overall experience was really great.

Thank you, Bob, for your reply. Will look through the websites of Quark and NG

Thank you, Bob! I think the company choice was perfect. Have heard a lot of positive reviews about Quark Expeditions

Unfortunately they do not have such the trip anymore. They added Antarctic Peninsula region and the program is much longer now. And more expensive as a result. Does anybody know trips that cover the Falklands and South Georgia without the Peninsula? Thanks
