Antarctica Lindblad vs Regent
How do these two compare? Does anyone have experience on Regent? There seem to be several Lindblad repeat customers...how about Regent...anyone have experience with them?

Don't know about those two, but have you looked at Hurtigruten? www.hurtigruten.us
This one is one on my list of things to do before I die. We have been on 2 Hurtigruten crusies in Norway and they were very good.

We arer intrested in one of the smaller ships. We have heard that there is an advantage to being on a ship with 200 or less for the antarctica trip. Lindblad is 108 and Regent right at 200 I think. Anyone have input on ship size for the Antarctic?

The two best cruises ever (of 114) were on Regent ships. Perfect size, well appointed, fabulous accomodations, excellent food and very personal service.
I also find the demographic perfect for my tastes: a sophisticated, well travelled group of folks, no kids (on my two sailing) and very enjoyable to be around.
The CCC dress code makes packing easy for longer cruises.
Regent is simply an elegant line in every way.

Thanks for the information. Glad to hear that your friends enjoyed the cruise. Do you know if they were happy with their cabin choice? We are still trying to figure out which cabin to book.

Hurtigruten's Nordnorge does 10-11 landings, according to a passenger's review on cruisecritic. Norgnorge is a working ship in Norway during summer with combo cargo hold and car deck (50 cars). This deck is used to store the Zodiac boats, equipment and warm clothing for the winter time Antarctica cruises. I believe there are about 6 to 8 Zodiac boats.
How many landings does Regent do?
