Arctic cruise review: Polarbear

Destinations: Svalbard

A lot of things didn’t work on the boat (intern TV, Microfon, shower in my cabin, air conditioning in other cabins etc.). As it was a special polar bear expedition I expected to see some bears. Now I know that even in Spitzbergen it’s a question of big luck to see any polar bear. But this wasn’t communicated. So all in all it was a disappointing cruise concerning wildlife.

Been on one of our voyages?
