Review trip Vlissingen - Spitsbergen

by Daan van Bendegom

Departure in June 2023

Region: The Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard, Jan Mayen

Ship: m/v Hondius

Highlights: Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Harp Seal, Polar Bear, Atlantic puffin, Walrus, Ivory Gull

Amazing trip with an amazing crew! We had wonderful wildlife sightings during our trip. Also, the daily lectures of the guides were very nice and informative (both for. laymens and more experienced passengers). All the other services on the boat were excellent and everyone of the crew was very nice and friendly. The only tip I could think of is grouping the passengers into groups during the hike on svalbard based on preferred hike length. I ended up doing a short hike which was still very nice, but I would rather have hiked with a different group to get some steps in:)
