Best. Trip. Ever. We discovered why people on board described repeating this trip multiple times. We are about to join that club. The NatGeo Resolution is a wonderful vessel. We traveled aboard her to Norway and Svalbard in the spring of 2025 and boarding again in the fall felt like going home. Crew treated us like royalty and the trip itself was spectacular. The sights and sounds of the Antarctic region are now part of our memories and we cannot wait to expand on them.

The 2026 trip I booked was canceled. I was given optional choices by Adventure Life to choose to replace the canceled trip. Adventure Life staff worked to keep the original price with the same cabin category. As a result of there hard work, I did not own any extra money.
