We had a wonderful 18 day expedition on the Hondius. The wildlife and scenery were magnificent. All of the crew were wonderful and constantly cheerful. The expedition crew were highly professional and worked tirelessly to maximise the number of landings, despite adverse weather conditions. Our twin porthole cabin was very comfortable, we slept better than at home!
