I sailed on Emerald Princess from Buenos Aires to San Antonio in March 2018 and had a wonderful time but we didn't go to Antarctica. My next cruise is a Land of the Midnight Sun cruise to Norway in June. Your photos are really inspiring me to plan a trip to Antarctica in the future as I would love to go there. I look forward to reading the rest of your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes close to the horizon, glancing down at the lower slopes. Looking down that same slope I’m not convinced she’s appropriately dressed for such climes!
