  • Wonderful introduction to the Norwegian Arctic

Wonderful introduction to the Norwegian Arctic

by Diane walkington

Departure in June 2022

Region: Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Highlights: Photo Workshop, Kayaking, Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Humpback Whale, Minke Whale, Polar Bear, Walrus, Bearded Seal, Rock Ptarmigan, Svalbard reindeer, Ringed Seal, Hiking

Knowledgeable and friendly guides and crew, marvellous food, comfortable boat - and a lot of effort put into seeing an exciting range of wildlife and land/seascapes. For me I would have liked more time on excursions and less time scheduling around meals - hence the 4* rather than 5* rating.
