Arctic on Ortelius

by Ian & Julie Grover

Departure in August 2017

Region: Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Despite not managing the full circumnavigation, we had a a wonderful and memorable trip. Great to see the Polar bears and Walrus, and all the wildlife and amazing scenery. Kayaking amongst the sea ice was amazing, and seeing the glacier calving incredible. We loved the ship and met some great people. The guides were all great too!!
