Swoop Antarctica Avis 101

Found one sailing that charged only the "per person" rate for a single traveler in a cabin. Cruises usually have huge single supplements.

Kept in regular contact and provided detailed advice via emails, and podcasts.

A fantastic trip and experience with Swoop! Stefano helped me find the right voyage and Ali handled all of the details from flights to hotel reservations.
I couldn't be happier with the experience.
You have to see Antarctica. It's magical.
My favorite trip ever!

We are a couple and we were looking into a cruise to Antartica when we got in touch with Swoop. We submitted an inquiry on their site and Nardus from Swoop reached back to us immediately. He was very professional, knowledgable and kind throughout the process and has given us many options to consider for our trip. While our plans got changed in the meantime, Nardus was still understanding and helpful. We are frequent travelers and must admit it's rare to find this level of service and professionalism in the industry, specifically when you're looking to book a trip of the lifetime it's a must to have someone with experience and knowledge to help you out choose the right option (full pros/cons outlined and really some honest feedback). We are so glad we decided to get connected with them and would recommend them to anyone anytime!

Our Swoop Antarctica trip to the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica was absolutely wonderful. The relatively small size of the ship (120 passengers) was excellent; and we loved the mix of passengers with many from Australia and Canada as well as the U.S. The staff and guides were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Our recommendations would be not to miss South Georgia, which was a highlight. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Awesome company, accommodations, staff, ships crew, food, equipment…..everything. The adventure was without compromises and gave both my honey and myself memories that will last forever. Don’t expect a 2,000 passenger cruise ship as the Ortelius will far exceed any of that bs….be ready for a genuine adventure with genuine people aboard a very comfortable, genuine adventure ship.

Swoop folks were super helpful, friendly and found a Antarctica trips that suited my interests for a more active experience that included longer hikes, snowshoeing, basic mountaineering, sea kayaking and snow camping in addition to zodiac cruises and landings for shorter walks, fabulous opportunities to observe and photograph wildlife, flora, landscapes, seascapes, icebergs, historical sites. Also, the other travelers were just as jazzed as I am about the included activities. We enjoyed sharing life stories as well as our experiences together. I started with Oceanwide, a company Swoop suggested, for a trip to Antarctic peninsula in December 2023 and liked that trip so much, I did a second trip with Oceanwide to Falklands and South Georgia and Antarctic peninsula in February 2024 and and a third to Greenland in September 2024. All three trips were fantastic!

I had not heard of SWOOP before. I spoke with the representative and they were knowledgeable regarding my travel plans and desires. I also, was pleased that they were not "pushy" in having me make my decision.
I felt very confident in working with SWOOP. They were fantastic after the purchase in following me and the transition to the expedition team member.

Swoop exceeded my expectations in every way. They were prompt in communications and detailed with their descriptions. If voice calls are needed to address questions, they had representatives available to help right away. Their website is user friendly and the dashboard housed all of my flight details, cabin information, and the important piece…the itinerary. I highly recommend Swoop for your travels to the mysterious and last continent…ANTARCTICA!

The entire trip was well coordinated by Swoop and their representatives. They looked after the pre and post rip accommodations, answered all our questions and provided very informative documents that answered all our trip questions. The staff on the ship were incredible in being attentive to our comfort, needs and safety. The food was superb and the scenery of the Antarctic was breathtaking. I highly recommend Swoop if you are thinking of an Antarctic vacation.

The trip to Antarctica was perfect. The ship was grand and the crew was excellent. The professional staff were knowledgeable and wanted everyone to have a great experience. It was great to have updates daily, and staff who worked to make every expedition special and safe.

The information provided on the trip was great. We were well prepared. The recommended packing list was extremely helpful. The website for documention submission was straight forward and easy to use.

Hondius was a great boat, friendly staff ,
Good food and out of this world scenery. What’s not to love?

Great team! Very well organized.
Will definitely recommend this company.

This is an unforgettable experience in my life. The stunning views, adorable penguins, huge whales etc. impressed me very much. I had multi times to board on islands and got close to the wildlife. I enjoyed perfect services, wonderful food. I share this experience with anyone who is interested in Antarctica adventure.

Both the sales team and the guides were knowledgeable and effective communicators. They not only introduced the products thoroughly, but also customized our itinerary according to understanding our expectations and personal conditions. We are satisfied by choosing their service. Their website provides step-by-step instructions of each every aspect of the expenditure, and full of information about the experience and activities both onboard the ship and offboard.

Excellent Service and expertise. Very responsive to customers enquiries with immediate replies.

Swoop Antarctica did a great job providing us with all of our options in terms of timing, tour companies and type of trip, in order to make the best decision about this very special trip. They provided support and updates along the way to ensure that we were fully prepared and hadn’t overlooked any details. I highly recommend enlisting their services because the options can be overwhelming.

Swoop arranged everything and it all went very smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! I loved all the phone calls to make sure we were ready

SWOOP is an agent. They are not operator nor cruise ship owner, however, their web site is informative They are very keen to reply your queries BEFORE u pay, heard nothing and unhelpful AFTER you have paid. They don’t reply emails or queries after paying.

SCOOP gave us wrong information in the zoom briefing as it gave us general information and not specific to the ship u go to.

Go visit FB Antarctica Travel Group for advice and latest information.

Very nice support. They help you to decide which company is the best for you and offer the best possible price, I recommend checking the website to see all options you have for your Antarctica trip!
