Galapagos Islands. G Adventures West and Central Islands on The Eden
The 6 days in the Galapagos on The Eden with G Adventures was a fantastic trip. We were all amazed by the variety, abundance and friendliness of the wildlife both on land and in the sea. In the words of our wonderful Guide "The Galapagos is a place where the animals are not afraid of humans. You don't have to look for the animals, the animals come to you".

Our 2 day safari was part of an 18 day Gate1 Travel tour of South Africa. It was an unique experience to see so many different wild animals, in their own environment and at such a close proximity.

10 day cruise on Diamond Princess stopping at Beppu, Kagoshima, Nagasaki and Busan (Sth Korea). Stop at Kobe was cancelled due to a typhoon.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Is there one side of the ship that is better than the other in your opinion if booking a balcony?
I don't think there is a better side. In some areas the ship stops and rotates around so that both sides get the same viewing. It's an amazing experience..
Fantastic video, really enjoyed watching it. Helped a lot with our holiday plans. X
We leave for this cruise in 9 days.
What device did you use for filming - absolutely amazing footage!
I used a Panasonic video camera It's only medium quality but gives good quality output.
Thank you for sharing
@@gplumridge9813 - me again Can you share your model - your videos we’re just breathtaking - thanks
As I look through your travel videos you have been to many of the same places our family has gone to. I think we were at Kruger at the same time! I love your video and enjoy your commentary. Thank you! Thank you for sharing. We are off to SA & Antarctica - same cruise ship
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Excellent video travel log. Can you tell me what type of camera you used to get the photos of wild life from the ship. Thank you! Very much enjoyed your informative narration
I use a Panasonic HC-V770 video camera. It's mid range but does have a 50 times zoom.
Enjoyed it - tastefully done. Thank you.
Thank you for the great video! We are thinking about a cruise to Antarctica in two years, then we are merried 45 years. Question, does Princess sails through Antarctica but does not go ashore? Thanks for answering. Greetings from the Netherlands, have a great (cruise) life everybody!
No, they do not stop to go ashore. I guess ships are too large and too many people to ferry ashore. But still a wonderful experience.
What ever happens to that ancient city found overthere by CHILE EXPLORERS. The one our Friends of the North took away from them
Looks like an incredible trip. My wife and I have considered taking such a cruise. Were there any children on board? We would take our son when he is 8-10. Also, what sort of camera lens did you use to film the whales/penguins? Extreme telephoto?
Is was an incredible trip and I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy like we did. There were children on board and they have a Kids Club that provides many activities for them. I use a medium quality video camera which has a 50X lens, so not an extreme telephoto lens. The whales were very close to the ship and the penguins a bit further. I hope you get to do it someday.
Absolutely wonderful videography and gentle narration. We learned a lot and enjoyed your video.
Thank you for this video. My grandpa is on this same ship now that is the reason I searched it on TH-cam
Nice! we are going on the same cruise in Jan 2023!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
We are on the Sapphire February 2023 doing this itinerary. Thank you for posting your experience so beautifully
What a great compilation of your trip. We are boarding the Sapphire on January 4, 2023 for this great adventure. What camera did you use for the fantastic views?
I used a Panasonic HC-V770M, which is an average quality camera. Whatever you use it will capture your memories to enjoy again and again. Have a fantastic cruise.
Alaska Is Very Wonderful Lake Area Place Cute 🥀✨👌👌👌✨🥀😱✨🥀👌
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to my visit next year!
Silly question other than Covid did you need any vaccinations for this holiday?
No vacs required.. (Cruise was pre-covid)
Excelent video very good quality, I will be in a similar cruise next january
I'm sure you will enjoy your cruise.
I really enjoyed your wonderful video. We have booked a Azamara Antarctica cruise on Jan 7, 2023. Google search shows days high temperature there is minus 37 degree Ferenheit. But in your video captain said today's temperature is about 37 degree. Not minus. We can handle 37 degree F but not minus. What was average day temperature during the four days in Antarctica? Thanks for helping us decide on what clothes we need.
Can't remember the exact temperature, but it was icy. Needed jackets, gloves and hats then still went inside regularly to warm up. It did snow early one morning and I have seen videos with very heavy snow on the decks. So it will definitely be cold but it's all worth it. Have a great trip.
We did the same Princess cruise a couple of years after you and thoroughly enjoyed it. The itinerary was spectacular. The food, facilities and staff on the Regal Princess were excellent. Thanks for sharing; it brought back happy pre-pandemic memories.
How much was this? I wanna do it
Still amazing that cruise lines use a ship much better suited to a warm climate for this adventure. Not much use of pool deck.
Thanks for sharing and helping me to anticipate our trip in 2023.
Saya pernah melalui punten arenas, di sana pemandangannya indah sekali
absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video of your once in several lifetimes vacation!!
Taking this trip in 2023. So excited now that I have seen this. THANKS
Enjoy
Very Nice Video, We had this booked for 2020, canceled and just booked again for 2023. Thank you so Much for making this,, may I ask, what is your DAY Job? You did a Great job on this, takes a LOT of work and knowledge for sure. This will be our #30 Princess cruise
I'm retired and do the videos as a hobby. Have done 9 Princess cruises and this one was the best. Have videos of several other cruises on TH-cam if you are interested.
It's interesting how lakes, rivers and oceans are all perfectly level on a round blob globe earth... 😒

I have a cabin on hold for Dec 2022. This might sound silly, but was it cold inside the ship?
No. Fully air conditioned and very comfortable. Very cold on deck and kept going inside to warm up. Make sure you take good jackets, hats, gloves etc. An amazing trip, hope you go and enjoy it as we did.
@@gplumridge9813 good stuff. Thanks for the answer.
I was on this cruise. What an amazing experience. Fun to watch your video.
Same dates!!!
Still watching so fun to hear the captain again!!!
This was a great video. I’m torn between doing a San Antonio to Buenos Aires cruise (skipping Antarctica) or round trip from Buenos Aires to Antarctica. Did you prefer one segment of your cruise over another?
It's hard to pick a favourite section as all was great, but I think Antarctica was the best. It's just so different to anywhere else and the whales, seals and penquins were amazing.
Looks like such an amazing trip. I’m stuck between doing a cruise like you did now or saving up for an expedition cruise as I want to step foot onto the actual continent and not just sail.
Were you able to set foot - that’s our dream as well. We’re on Princess 1/24 - super excited
You can only step foot on Antarctica from expedition ships hence the higher prices. Regular cruise ships just sail slowly past the continent
Wonderful video, what amazing images!! I will be doing this trip in 02/2023 and can´t wait to get on board!! Maybe you can help with a question. What language were the majority of the passengers speaking? Were they mostly spanish speaking or english? My english is pretty well I think, but I have to admit that my spanish is a little rusty. ☺️
Most passengers spoke English and certainly all the crew do also. Glad you enjoyed the video and I'm sure you will have a great time on the cruise.
@@gplumridge9813 thank you very much for your reply!!
I was on this same cruise same dates. To answer your question. Most passengers spoke english, but we met people from all over. Amazing experience. I would do it again.
@@lynelljansen8057 thank you very much for your reply. I really can´t wait for the cruise to start. Besides, I am really glad that I booked for 23 and not 22 looking at the current Covid situation which is getting worse again. ☹️ 435 days to go!!
Just SEEING Antarctica would be incredible.
Amazing !!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing !!!!
You have done an excellent job of showcasing this cruise! We are hoping to take this cruise in the near future. I would love to ask you some questions about this cruise. Please let me know if I can reach out to you.
I would be pleased to answer your questions
Great video. Just started looking for these types of videos. I’m on the Diamond Princess in Jan 2022. Can you tell me how heavy a coat you need? I know we are not getting off of course in Antarctica but the other stops look quite cold. Thanks.
Glad you liked the video. The coldest part was when we were down in Antarctica. The wind was freezing and it did snow a little one morning. You definitely need gloves, hats and a very warm jacket. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
What an amazing video. You did an exceptional job filming the experience and adding just enough commentary for the viewer to feel part of the experience. That cruise with Princess is on my bucket list. The view of Cape Horn was spectacular!!! Did you participate in any of the enrichment programs? If so, were they helpful? I plan to study about the areas on the itinerary once I book the cruise, so I will be well informed. Was there anything about the itinerary that did not meet your expectations? On a scale from 1- 10, with 10 being fabulous, how would you rate the cruise?
Thanks for your comments. The whole itinerary was great as it's a very unique part of the world and we enjoyed it all. There were lots of enrichment programs and we attended many and learnt a lot about Antarctica (history, wildlife, weather etc.) and thoroughly enjoyed them. Could only rate the entire cruise a 10 out of 10. It was amazing. It was better than what a video could convey. Hopefully it's not too long before you can experience it for yourself.
@@gplumridge9813 Thank you for your honest opinion. I am looking at a 14 day on board the Sapphire Princess in Feb 2023. I have a 21 day New Zealand/Queensland booked for Feb 2022, or I would book the Antarctica then!!! Again, thank you for the video and your comments.
Beautiful travel. The best entertainment in these times of pandemic. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela
Great video. Professional and informative 😃thank you
Great video of a trip of a lifetime. Must have been a complete downer when it was over?
It's a bit of a downer when any holiday ends , but it's also nice to go home to see family. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you for the video,were planning to take antarctica cruise, we just dont know what is the cruise ship we want to take. Thank you for the video.
GP I found your video on TH-cam obviously but to find out we were on the same ship @ the same time. Nice job on the video and how organized your video was. Thanks for doing such a nice job, let me relived the trip all over again. I am already thinking whenI can get back down there one more time and actually walk on the continent next time. Hope you and your family are safe and healthy.
Wow!! What an incredible video!! Thanks for sharing!! What kind of camera do you have?’
Thanks for your kind comments. Camera is a Panasonic HC-V770M. It's a few years old now so there is sure to be new models now, but it still does a good job.
Fantastic , I really enjoyed that .....seeing Penguins in their natural environment is a long held ambition of mine
Wonderful video and such professional camera work. Thanks so much.
Looks like that you just sail around part of Antarctica? You didn`t get off on the land?
No we didn't, but still an amazing experience.
@@gplumridge9813 Thank you for replying.
I’d be amazed if they let tourists tramp around on Antarctica !
Some small ship cruises do have shore excursions, hopefully under very strict controls.
@@gplumridge9813.... Yes I have seen some on you tube since posting.... I'd just be happy seeing it, I wouldnt need to walk on it
fantastic video friend!
