Region: The Arctic

Destinations: Greenland

Ship: m/v Hondius

Highlights: Kayaking, Polar Bear, Walrus

Having the crew of the Hondius around you was like being in the company of a favourite aunt or uncle – you felt safe and secure and it was always fun. They were all so knowledgeable, patient, competent and friendly. It was so nice to see them sitting with the passengers at meals and being so open and inclusive. They proved a perfect backdrop to brilliant weather, breathtaking scenery and wildlife watching, informative lectures and exciting activities. My only regret is that I didn’t sing ‘My paddle’s clean and bright’ when kayaking, and that I didn’t see an Arctic hare.
