Region: Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Hondius

Highlights: Arctic Fox, Polar Bear, Hiking

As we have been (so we're told) very lucky with the weather, the amount of wildlife spotted we simply háve to rate 5 out of 5. The new ship is very comfortable, with lots of windows everywhere. We will be talking about this trip still, 30 years from now. Just being one with nature, far away from civilization, cell-phone reach ;-) or people even (even though you're on a ship with 140 other passengers) is a once in a lifetime experience which I wouldn't have wanted to miss in a thousand years... Thank you Oceanwide Expeditions! Tim & Shanne
