Home Again

After last night’s end-of-voyage festivities, we awoke
much too early for our final morning on the Ocean
Atlantic. Although we wish we could stay, we started
the process of leaving behind the ship and the people
we’ve come to know so well over the past week.
Our bags were packed and stowed in the corridors,
ready for our early-morning busses and flights back
home. After nine whole days immersed in the
landscapes and amongst the wildlife of the Antarctic,
it was time to return home or to wherever our life’s
journeys brings us.
And so – farewell, adieu, and goodbye. Together we
have visited an incredible and vast wilderness. We
have experienced magnificent mountain vistas, seen
icebergs roll and crack, felt the power of the elements
and seen how quickly they can change. We enjoyed
wonderful food and comfortable surroundings aboard
the Ocean Atlantic.
We boarded zodiacs and cruised through icy bays at
the end of the Earth. We shared unique moments,
held engaging conversations, and laughed together
over beers and coffees. We’ve made new friends and
experienced the power of expeditionary travel.
The expedition team hopes that we have helped to
make this the trip of a lifetime - one that will persist in
your memories for weeks, months, and years, to
come. Although we must say good-bye to these places
we have come to know and love, it is a fond farewell
as we are all true ambassadors for the Antarctic and
all the beauty it holds.
On behalf of Albatros Expeditions, our captain and
crew, the expedition team, and everyone else who
helped make this journey a resounding success, it has
been a pleasure travelling with you. We hope that you
will come back and experience these wonderful places
with us once again!
