The Arctic cruise review: pack ice and more

Destinations: Svalbard

Highlights: Beluga Whale, Arctic Tern, Blue Whale, Humpback Whale, Kittiwake, Minke Whale, Polar Bear, Atlantic puffin, Walrus, Parasitic Jaeger

We had an amazing and unforgettable journey with highlights without any end. The experience in the pack ice will stay with us forever and seeing polar bears was a dream come true. The sky, the sea, the sound, the smell, the glaciers, the experience will stay with us always.
