Dec 2024 - G-adventure vs Poseidon?

Dec 2024 - G-adventure vs Poseidon?

Hi all! We are looking for a 11/12 day trip (first time ever to Antarctica), and found 2 trips that seemed to satisfy our needs (camping, kayaking, smaller ship):

1. G-adventure Dec 11-22 Antarctica classic

2. Poseidon Dec 16-27 Christmas in Antarctica

Looks like Poseidon is 2x the price of G-adventure and we are not sure why and if it's worth it. Can anyone share any insights / suggestions in terms of these two trips / crew expertise / ship for first timers? Thank you all in advance!

I haven’t traveled with Poseidon, but I know some people who have, and they were happy with them.

I’ve done two expeditions with GAdv, and I completely enjoyed them both. If you’re looking for luxury, it wouldn’t be my first recommendation, but I find the ship more than comfortable enough.

One factor in the price could be that the GAdv trip ends before Christmas, so it doesn’t utilize as much of the common holiday leave.
