The dream experience

by Pavel Sebor

Departure in July 2023

Region: The Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Hondius

Highlights: Arctic Fox, Beluga Whale, Arctic Tern, Barnacle Goose, Polar Bear

The voyage around Svalbard was the best I could choose to experience fully Svalbard and its nature. Everything was perfect, the guides were fantastic, and my biggest concern, that there will be not enough outdoor activities and that we will be asked to watch Svalbard mainly from the big boat, was totally wrong. The whole expedition is organized by people who like to explore and be in nature so they understand you want to go there and experience it first hand. The do their best that everything is smooth and every time they have plan A, B, C .... depending on the fog, wind, bears etc. There are zodiacs for everybody and the boarding is smooth. Really, if you want to experience Svalbard, choose these guys.Text
