Katie - SPECIALIST CRUISE CONCIERGE AND EXPEDITION SPECIALIST

Hi, I'm Katie, a Specialist Cruise Concierge for SixStarCruises. For me, the best part about working in travel is the opportunities to explore new and exciting destinations. I get to visit places and experience things I never thought possible. My bucket list has always been Antarctica, and to be able to experience that will be a trip that I will treasure forever. My favourite moment from a cruise was from that expedition: sitting on my balcony, sailing past the icebergs whilst watching the whales and penguins. It was a surreal moment. My favourite cruise line is Silversea. The food and service is exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly and cater to your every need. The ships are beautiful and the value for money is outstanding - it really is true luxury.

Summary

My entire trip to Antarctica was just incredible - an absolute dream come true. The pictures do not do it justice, and it is a place one must experience and see first hand to understand the continent's beauty. I sailed with Silversea and the ship was incredibly luxurious, the food was exceptional and with a small ship, the service is unbeatable. It was a once in a lifetime adventure!

Highlights

My favourite experiences were kayaking and seeing the whales whilst out on a zodiac cruise. I also loved sitting on my balcony, sailing past the icebergs and watching the penguins, which was such a surreal moment.
