We've been planning this for two years. And, you know, for us, it's the trip of a lifetime. But we did not know so many other people would be so interested.’’‘’I think people expected it to be more like a reality TV show. And it's it's really not, it's a group of people who love to travel, who love to meet new friends, to love to see new cultures, to see the world. And we all have that in common.’’Their most popular YouTube video has over five million viewsshowing viewers a rough journey through the Drake Passage (Laura Jackson, Deputy Head of Travel, The Times and Sunday Times)''Fundamentally, the reason why this cruise has been such a big hit is because of the internet. I think this is really going to play out over the next nine months as the kind of drama that we all want, which is we just want to see people in the buffet. We want to see people doing their laundry. We want to see people just sitting on deck having a nice time. It is the kind of brilliant drama that's basically no drama, drama. And I think that's, to be honest, why we're all loving it."
