Around Spitsbergen

by Christopher Tiarks

Departure in July 2019

Region: Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Hondius

Fantastic experience seeing Arctic wildlife. We were blessed with good weather and the ice floe passage was magnificent. The Guiding was very good and lectures interesting. The only disappointment was not being able to go to the nesting cliffs because of too much wind and swell in the afternoon. The Hotel facilities were good and the staff excellent, helpful and courteous. All in all a trip of a life time.
