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.
