What shall I say....... amazing!!! I didn't know what to expect. I met a hardworking team. A team with a lot of energy, with kindness, with love, with patience, that is helpful. On the whole ship, from captain till the mechanics.. And that make the expedition!! It was hard working and I loved it. Every day a good program with a lot of flexibility. A very good ship. The food was delicious. A good hut, with good beds, warm shower. Luxury on all sides.
I also saw the other huts and I was satisfied with mine on deck 4. I had luck with the weather, luck with all the animals I saw. Even the jumping whale, without the picture. That doesn't matter, I have seen him!! I met nice people. There was a nice Dutch group. We play games and were sitting together into the zodiac with Saskia. The highlight may be: the jumping whale. And the rest was on the same level. I cannot choose. But sometimes I'm afraid of all the tourist who are coming to the Artics. It was very busy in Ushuaia, more then ten years ago. Now we didn't see an other ship, but how long will this taken before we see each other and lay side by side at a beach and go with 20 zodiacs together to the beach. But I enjoy and hope we caText
