Pros: High staff to passenger ratio, long landings, great staff people.
Cons: Not enough time in my life to go to Antarctica with them!
Summary: For my taste, Cheesemans Ecology Safaris is the best tour operator for general trips to Antarctica, and I write this from the perspective of having made 11 tirps to the region, with five different companies. They have the best staff to passenger ratio,

Cons: Food on board is plentiful, but not a culinary experience!
