by Michelle Muir

Departure in July 2022

Region: Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Arctic Fox, Beluga Whale, Arctic Tern, Blue Whale, Harp Seal, Kittiwake, Polar Bear, Atlantic puffin, Little Auk, Svalbard reindeer, Hooded Seal, King Eider, Black Guillemot, Ivory Gull, Arctic Skua

Fantastic trip onboard Plancius. Excellent and friendly staff. I was upgraded to a twin room w single occupancy. Food excellent with good selection at each meal. Expedition staff very knowledgeable and we had some good lectures on rocks, ice and wildlife. Captain was a great spotter of polar bears and we saw 4 on our trip. An amazing once in a lifetime experience to go to 80 degrees north and explore the remote and beautiful Arctic.
