We have seen a lot wildlife, impressing how much wildlife in the Arctic!

This trip surpassed all expectations. The polar bears were much closer to the ships than expected. The entire crew where wonderful and the scientists knew their subjects and talked with passion about them. The expedition leader always managed to find interesting excursions, even when the fog prevented Plan A. The Polar Plunge was an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic trip. Very well organised. Expedition leader Christophe was really on-the -ball when it came to changing the daily zodiac activities due to unfavourable weather conditions. All the expedition team were really knowledgeable and helpful. Food and cabins also very good.

Excellent expedition cruise, perfect organization, extreme luck with weather and many animals met

The voyage around Svalbard was the best I could choose to experience fully Svalbard and its nature. Everything was perfect, the guides were fantastic, and my biggest concern, that there will be not enough outdoor activities and that we will be asked to watch Svalbard mainly from the big boat, was totally wrong. The whole expedition is organized by people who like to explore and be in nature so they understand you want to go there and experience it first hand. The do their best that everything is smooth and every time they have plan A, B, C .... depending on the fog, wind, bears etc. There are zodiacs for everybody and the boarding is smooth. Really, if you want to experience Svalbard, choose these guys.

Expedition guides, even the ship doctor, were so informative and friendly!

fantastic holiday

It has been a wonderful and awesome voyage. I saw so many Artic animals ( blue whales, artic fox, puffings, lovely birds, walrus …….and the star for me was Polar bears I saw 8 of them , it was like a dream .I am very happy and satisfied with my voyage. I highly recommend it.

I travel much but this was really one of the best trips. Everything was just perfect. I had wonderful ladies I shared my cabin with (famous room no.205). Furthermore, we enjoyed a very friendly and capable crew. Thank you to all of them. The food on the Plancius was excellent and all the staff did a fantastic job! I will be back for sure, the sooner the better :).

Geniale Reise mit einem exzellenten Expedition-Team und einer hervorragenden Crew. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Tierwelt und Natur allgemein waren überwältigend, sämtliche Crew-Mitglieder waren immer freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Guides aufmerksam und verfügten über fundiertes Wissen

Bin sehr froh die Reise gemacht zu haben. War für mich mit 83 Jahren teilweise sehr anstrengend, hatte aber wunderschöne Naturerlebnisse. Vor allem die Begegnungen mit Eisbären und Walrössern sind unvergesslich.

From day one till the end this trip was absolutely fantastic. A big thank you to the whole crew and expedition Team who made this trip a once in a lifetime experience!!! Thank you so much - I can highly recommend Oceanwide Expeditions.

Ich bin mit meinem Vater mitgereist. Und es war eine sagenhafte Reise, wir hätten niemals gedacht das wir so viel bestaunen dürfen und das ich so traumhafte Fotos der Tierwelt bekomme. Das Team war fantastisch und hat alles gegeben um uns alles zu zeigen trotz der wechselnden Wetterbedingungen. Ich bin unheimlich dankbar das erlebt zu haben und kann es jedem nur Wärmstens empfehlen ! Ein absolut tolles Schiff mit super Personal ob an Deck oder unter Deck. Jeder hat die Reise zu etwas ganz besonderem gemacht ! Danke Oceanwide !!
