Awesome rounding of Svalbard on M/V Plancius
by Th.L. van den Hoonaard
Departure in August 2022
Region: Arctic
Destinations: Svalbard
Ship: m/v Plancius
Highlights: Arctic Tern, Fin Whale, Humpback Whale, Kittiwake, Minke Whale, Polar Bear, Walrus, Bearded Seal, Brünnich's Guillemot, Svalbard reindeer, King Eider, Glaucous Gull, Black Guillemot, Fulmar, Gray Seal, Ivory Gull, Pink-footed Goose, Arctic Skua, Hiking
Allthough I chose this trip because I wanted to see polar bears in their natural habitat , and how successfull this trip was, I was most impressed by the landscapes, the “spitsbergen”, the fjords, the enormous and countless glaciers and the packice. And all that from a very silent, comfortable ship, the M/V Plancius. I loved it.
