GBThe best expedition company on the… The best expedition company on the planet! Truth. Zegrahm’s attention to detail is an understatement. The depth of knowledge of the expedition staff is nonpareil. Do yourself a huge favor. Travel with Zegrahm. It’s worth the price of admission!

GBI am experienced worldwide traveler I am experienced worldwide traveler. The ship was old and had many unsafe features including 2 flights of old slippery wooden stairs to the zodiacs. The zodiacs were old, looked like recycled military equipment. The last trip our zodiac sprung a significant leak in the bottom requiring return to ship. Because the crew had taken the cabin staff out, there were no backup zodiacs or staff to get us off at the ship. The staff were not experienced, but rather retired fisherman. They did not now how to assist passengers. The first one said I was his "guinea pig" and promptly dropped me. The "naturalists" gave terrible presentations more anecdotal than fact. The list goes on. Never again

ZAI have been on four expeditions I have been on four expeditions. Enjoyed all of them. Main reasons: 1. Highly informative. Top lecturers. 2. Very well travelled co-passengers. 3. Well appointed ship. Good food and service. Criticism 1. Quite expensive. 2. Too skewed toward USA clients. Eg. in the marketing material they always refer to departure from USA and not home. It makes non US clients as second hand citizens. Simple adjustments can expand their market.

GBTrips used to be better Trips used to be better - too many travelers who have done many trips with company - they get special treatment (private fishing w/zodiac and crew, invites to the staff dinner table, etc.), newbies are discounted or ignored. It is very 'clubby'. New staff are girlfriends of existing staff (PDA, lost sunglasses/earrings drama; one girlfriend was excellent, the other was marginal), existing staff 'forget' sunscreen and get burned/complained. Staff has become 'clubby' as well. Too bad, used to be a great experience, now it's way too much money for a marginal experience with the 'in crowd'. Felt like it was high school all over again with a gigantic price tag. Also the souvenir 'coffee table' book is now just a coffee table pamphlet....cheap.

GBSee the world with Zegrahm I have taken 14 trips with Zegrahm since 1997 and am scheduled for another one in early 2019. Their trips are perfectly planned, and their staff is oustanding, making it possible for guests of all ages to safely explore the most remote destinations.
