Arctic Joy

by Sarah Levinski

Departure in June 2024

Region: The Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife. Great staff. Comfortable accommodations. Food served was often too unusual and the process for obtaining dairy free meal was not smooth. Both my husband and I got sick on the boat and missed a day of activities. Overall, very interesting and awe inspiring trip.
