Arctic cruise review: Brilliant scenery and itinerary

Just back today from 12 days on Ortelius from Spitsbergen to Greenland and finishing in Iceland. I travelled with my eleven year old son. Not only was the scenery and the itinerary brilliant but the ship was comfortable. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. It would be easy to say a once in a lifetime trip, but that would be wrong.... I'll be pack.
