Outstanding expedition with great rewards
by STEPHEN MOTT
Departure in June 2022
Region: Arctic
Destinations: Svalbard
Ship: m/v Plancius
Highlights: Arctic Fox, Arctic Tern, Barnacle Goose, Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Kittiwake, Minke Whale, Polar Bear, Atlantic puffin, Bearded Seal, Little Auk, Brünnich's Guillemot, Svalbard reindeer, King Eider, Snow Bunting, Glaucous Gull, Black Guillemot, Fulmar
Led by knowledgeable and enthusaistic expedition leaders and staff, this expedition around the coast of Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet was a feast of polar experiences. From active glaciation through tundra to the diminutive plants in the polar desert we got a very good taste of the polar regions of Svalbard. MV Plancius was a comfortable and quiet ship crewed by a very good team who went the extra mile to accommodate the needs and comfort of the passengers. For those who have hesitated to join these expeditions I urge them to go. It is most certainly value for money.
