Viewing the glaciers from our cruiseThis morning we woke to breakfast and a day of traveling. Since we didn't have any landings this morning, I spent some time getting to know more of the other passengers, and spent some time talking with some of the expedition crew and staff on the ship. It was very interesting to hear about their lives. Most of them spend 9 months of the year on the Mare Australis, with only a few hours off each week. In the afternoon, we were able to get off the boat again but stayed on the zodiacs. We visited the Piloto and Nina Glaciers. The glaciers were so beautiful. I had never been so close to such a massive piece of ice before. You could feel the temperature drop with every second we got nearer to the glacier. Since this was our last evening on the boat, everyone gathered for an appetizer and pico sours with the captain. Dinner was a feast and we spent most of the rest of the evening with our fellow travelers and crew.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Although there was a lot of paper work, I received help and guidance when I needed it.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
