Our cruise was wonderful. It was our second time around Svalbard, both of them with Plancius. We deliberately chose the same vessel because we really enjoyed our first experience : crew, meals, expedition guides, rooms...We had a superior room, more expensive but the best choice if you can afford it. This year we had the surprise of 100% - different crew and expedition team, and they were perfect : a good sign that proves that Oceanwide is a great company. About the cruise itself : in August we had some kind of automnal weather, July may be a better fit for sunny conditions. The principle of daily landings and zodiac cruises corresponds to our expectations. In a nutshell we built additional unforgettable memories.
