Cindy, I am on the Silver Explorer right now. It may not be new and fancy but a wonderful ship with incredible expedition teams. Years ago the Silver Explorer was the ONLY ship that landed on Elephant Island. It was perfect weather but lots of work for the ship to lay carpets all over the rocks to get people ashore. About three other ships were there at the exact same time and NONE of them even tried.

I have no idea what the Scenic ship and expedition team would have been like but feel sure you will have a great trip on the Silver Explorer. Plus you are going to South Georgia that is one of the most amazing places on the earth that I have been to personally.

Who knows this may have been good fortune almost meant to be with the air falling into place. Dry the tears and look forward to a fantastic adventure.
