A day at sea, down to the Antarctic, is about spending time with ocean wanderers, waves, and getting to know everyone aboard.
This crossing, I thought it would be nice to introduce you to Marvin Moro, chief waiter aboard National Geographic Endurance. Marvin is from the Philippines and spends 75% of his life at sea. He started with the company in 2016 on National Geographic Orion as a utility hand and has continued to move up the hawse pipe to his aforementioned role. In addition to overseeing the wait staff, he is also the crew welfare chairman, helping to organize onboard activities - anything from facilitating holiday gatherings to maintaining crew morale during long deadheads at sea through game nights and karaoke sessions! This is a very important job, since all his colleagues also spend as much time away from their families as he does. Thank you, Marvin. And thank you to all the Filipino crew that will get us to and from the White Continent over the days ahead.
