Around Svalbard with Ortelius and OWE. All staff and crew particularly professional and especially careful about respecting wildlife and the environment in general. Cruise well scenarized, carefully design to favour contemplation and patient observation of sites, flora and fauna over hopping from site to site - greatly appreciated. Nice flexibility according to weather and bear hazard, several plan-B turned to be even better than plan-A. High complementarity between captain and cruise leaders. Guides had varying experience and knowledge, but all had something to bring and did it remarkably well. Ortelius is a nice old ship reminiscent of its time as a research vessel, with more comfort than I actually need. My first experience on a commercial cruise and I definitely look forward making the way to Antarctica with Oceanwide later.
