Exciting, Amazing & Unpredictable

I liked

Amazing bucket list ,Northern lights, North Cape, Artic Circle. Wonderful skilled crew & Expedition crew . Safety 1st.

I didn't like

Unpredictable weather expected not getting to all ports of call. Lack of basic entertainment , refurb of cabins needed

Comment

A niche market cruise not made for the general cruising public. Due to 2 storms , covid issues many ports missed . Read full report under Reportages .

Itinerario

I didn't like

Pochi servizi ed intrattenimento

Comment

Esperienza magnifica nel complesso, itinerario favoloso ed organizzazione eccellente. Poco intrattenimento a bordo, ma probabilmente è dovuto allo stile di crociera, come una vera e propria spedizione.
