Everything about this experience exceeded our expectations, and left us scratching our head on how you could possibly do any better. The abundance of wildlife allowed us to tick off everything on our must see list. The staff and accommodations were superb. The learning opportunities were tremendous, and left us hungry for more ecological education. A great job all around. The best piece of advice I could pass- listen to the staff when they encourage you to stay out of your camera or phone. Keep your head up and experience the whole moment. There is so much to see and hear. The staff took wonderful pictures of every aspect of the journey, and made them available for us after the trip. Take it all in, and the shared gallery will effortlessly fill out your photo album. These photos are from the shared file of our trip. It's a great adventure.
The most phenomenal experience. Everyone was so knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. I spent the entire trip with my mouth open in awe at the sheer beauty of everything we saw and can not believe the time and effort every single person on the ship put into making it the most wonderful experience. Everything was perfect and every moment was brilliant.
Meine Erwartungen wurden in jeder Hinsicht weit übertroffen was sowohl die Betreuung, die Qualität der guides, die Unterkunft, die Landschaftserlebnisse, die Verpflegung als auch die Tierbeobachtungen betrifft. Es war eine der schönsten Reisen in meinem Leben überhaupt.
Circumnavigation of Spitzbergen, beautiful trip managed perfectly
Ho partecipato al periplo delle isole Svalbard. Tutte le mie aspettative sono state soddisfatte e spesso anche superate. Viaggio ed organizzazione eccellenti. Team preparatissimo e personale di bordo gentile ed accogliente.
We have seen a lot wildlife, impressing how much wildlife in the Arctic!
This trip surpassed all expectations. The polar bears were much closer to the ships than expected. The entire crew where wonderful and the scientists knew their subjects and talked with passion about them. The expedition leader always managed to find interesting excursions, even when the fog prevented Plan A. The Polar Plunge was an unforgettable experience.
Fantastic trip. Very well organised. Expedition leader Christophe was really on-the -ball when it came to changing the daily zodiac activities due to unfavourable weather conditions. All the expedition team were really knowledgeable and helpful. Food and cabins also very good.
Excellent expedition cruise, perfect organization, extreme luck with weather and many animals met
The voyage around Svalbard was the best I could choose to experience fully Svalbard and its nature. Everything was perfect, the guides were fantastic, and my biggest concern, that there will be not enough outdoor activities and that we will be asked to watch Svalbard mainly from the big boat, was totally wrong. The whole expedition is organized by people who like to explore and be in nature so they understand you want to go there and experience it first hand. The do their best that everything is smooth and every time they have plan A, B, C .... depending on the fog, wind, bears etc. There are zodiacs for everybody and the boarding is smooth. Really, if you want to experience Svalbard, choose these guys.
Expedition guides, even the ship doctor, were so informative and friendly!
fantastic holiday
It has been a wonderful and awesome voyage. I saw so many Artic animals ( blue whales, artic fox, puffings, lovely birds, walrus …….and the star for me was Polar bears I saw 8 of them , it was like a dream .I am very happy and satisfied with my voyage. I highly recommend it.
I travel much but this was really one of the best trips. Everything was just perfect. I had wonderful ladies I shared my cabin with (famous room no.205). Furthermore, we enjoyed a very friendly and capable crew. Thank you to all of them. The food on the Plancius was excellent and all the staff did a fantastic job! I will be back for sure, the sooner the better :).
Geniale Reise mit einem exzellenten Expedition-Team und einer hervorragenden Crew.
Absolut empfehlenswert!
