Antarctica: specific questions

[tvlmm]

Hello.

I've read every post on Antarctica. I'm looking for particular input from those who have been on:

Epic Polar

Atlas (pretty new)

Nat'l Geo

TIA!

My dad & SM went on Nat'l Geo and LOVED it and felt it was well done with lots of educational aspects. I hope you can find someone to give you more feedback.

tvlmm I just saw your post. I did NatGeo about seven years ago to Antarctica. What type of things would you like to know about it?

Thanks, turbo, I'm mostly interested in knowing if it's worth the higher-than-other expeditions price. Was is truly all-inclusive, as in, all activities included? I know some other cruise lines charge for certain activities, like kayaking, stand up paddle boating, etc.

turbo, thanks so much, definitely PM me. I was really interested in the Atlas Ocean Voyages cruises (they're somewhat new) but last year they included a charter flight from Orlando to Ushuaia and this year, the charter flight is only from BA to Ushuaia. My other hesitation in booking is COVID cancellation policy or lack thereof. I'm hoping it'll be clearer later this year. If not, I'm willing to wait another year. I just can't spend that kind of money and then end up testing positive 2 days into the trip and being confined to isolation cabin for the rest of the trip. Because of the kids (middle school) we can only travel during their Winter Break, so we can't do anything too long, sadly. Plus, I'm not sure I could be on a ship for that long LOL.
Thanks again!
