Region: Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Plancius

This was an epic trip ! My family and I traveled to Arctic (m/v Plancius) between August 29th and Sept 5th 2018 and indeed it was a great trip. Definitely the wildlife, beautiful glaciers, flora and the landscapes made the trip wonderful but this went to the next level because of the expedition crew /guides and the captain. All of them were exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced, they were always on a look out if they can spot wildlife to show us. Secondly, Plancius was comfortable with good food and people behind it need special mention and nothing was less than perfect. Thanks to the management and kitchen crew for making our trip enjoyable. I have an Arctic hangover, so looking forward to travel again with fantastic ship and crew. Finally thanks to the expedition crew - Lynn , Sandra, Gerard, Isabelle, Shelly, Irene, Laurence and Johanna for making the trip worthwhile.
