Great trip overall. Enjoyed everyone we had contact with. Great weather, unexpectedly calm and warm. Only disappointment was fewer wildlife than hoped..

The 13 day trip of exploring the fjords of Greenland was an educational and hands on experience with all the region has to offer. The wild life was amazing seeing Whales, Seals, Reindeer, Musk Ox and a Polar Bear. The amazing sites of the region were also a show stoppers: sea ice, icebergs, rock formations, plant life and the northern lights did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to understand the area and explore all the beauty that Greenland has to offer. It was an amazing trip.

20 days full of adventures - skilled crew and good company with fellow travellers. Pics says mor then 1000 words: see my selected fotos on https://hpulrich.ch/arktis/spitzbergen-groenland/ Thanks to everybody who makes this happen!

Durch das sonnige Wetter konnten wir sehr vieles sehen und erleben. Besonders eindrücklich waren für mich Wale, Rentiere, Eisbärenmutter mit Kind, ein abbrechender Gletscher und die Natur mit seinen kleinen Pflanzen unmittelbar zu erleben.

A fantastic trip. The guides were friendly and knowledgable, the food was great, and most importantly, the wildlife and scenery exceeded my expectations. Absolutely breathtaking. The expedition leader and captain were terrific in reconfiguring the trip when weather precluded us from going with the original itinerary to places where we would see as much or more than we expected. I would highly recommend both this trip and this company.

Allthough I chose this trip because I wanted to see polar bears in their natural habitat , and how successfull this trip was, I was most impressed by the landscapes, the “spitsbergen”, the fjords, the enormous and countless glaciers and the packice. And all that from a very silent, comfortable ship, the M/V Plancius. I loved it.

Well organized, enlightening and varied trip on a beautiful ship with a great crew.

It was a nice trip but giving us the feeling of staying in a boarding school .Most of the expedition guides were caring except B.Giunchi who has insulted us(we were at his mother’s age) because we have talked a few words during the presentation.

İt was fantastic...unforgettable memories...thank you:)

A wonderful trip to a very, very impressing scenery. Accompanied by a very efficient, thoughtful, helpful crew and guided by very knowing, charming, informing crew, especially the expedition leader Ali Liddle, the second expedition leader Andreas, the guides Adam, Ross, Chloé, Christian. All were very charming, giving lots of information, keeping their humor and patience even in more challenging situations.

I don't know where to start. This expedition has shown so much of the beauty of the Arctic. And unfortunately also how fragile it is. There is so much life like of course the polar bear but also seals, walruses, whales, many bird species etc. The flora and fauna is fantastic. And again so fragile. Led by a fantastic team of guides we learned so much about the arctic. Everyone had his or her own area of expertise. And they shared it with great pleasure and enthusiasm. On the Plancius we were looked after fantastically by the team on board. We felt very welcome. In short, this expedition is highly recommended. (As long as it's still possible)

I am very satisfied about the organization of the trip and I expect exactly this kind of adventure

Nous revenons du Svalbard à bord du Hondius et n’avons pas les mots pour décrire ce que nous avons vécu ! Entre les paysages grandioses, la découverte de la faune arctique dont le majestueux ours polaire et les oiseaux de Arkefjellet, le confort du bateau, nous ne pourrons jamais décrire vraiment cette exceptionnelle expédition ! La cohésion si parfaite entre l’équipage, le staff d’expédition et le personnel du navire rend le voyage extrêmement flexible, pouvant s’adapter aux conditions météorologiques. Un des grands moments de la semaine reste la navigation au delà des 82 degrés nord ! Magique… Merci à tous !
