We were a 25 guest birthday trip, it was spectacular and lots of fun! The s/v Rembrandt van Rijn is a wonderful ship, charming and comfortable. You get a taste of arctic exploring, somewhat softened by modern comfort. The guides are excellent - very knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. The food is fine, the drinks affordable, and the captain knows his way around arctic waters!! An experience we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Having the crew of the Hondius around you was like being in the company of a favourite aunt or uncle – you felt safe and secure and it was always fun. They were all so knowledgeable, patient, competent and friendly. It was so nice to see them sitting with the passengers at meals and being so open and inclusive. They proved a perfect backdrop to brilliant weather, breathtaking scenery and wildlife watching, informative lectures and exciting activities. My only regret is that I didn’t sing ‘My paddle’s clean and bright’ when kayaking, and that I didn’t see an Arctic hare.

We've been waiting since 2020 to do this expedition and almost didn't make this one because of medical issues. I want to take special note of the Service Manager, Alfredo who went above and beyond in making us feel welcome aboard. Also kudos to the chef Khabir for his excellent variety of well prepared meals. Thanks also Captain Joachim for his safe guiding in these pristine waters. Thanks again for a special memory. Bill and Carla Francis

Did you know, that the Inuit people made up the word "kayak" (qajaq)? I learnt that during my trip on M/V Hondius. It makes sense to strengthen paddling skills in the area where kayaking was born: Greenland. I did five days adventurous (sea-)kayak-training in Scoresby Sund and its sheltered channels. Fantastic! Gorgeous! Awesome!

Der weltgrößte Fjord in Grönland, Eisberge, Eisbergfriedhof, Eisbären und mehr..... Die unendliche Weite, die Schönheit und Unberührtheit der Natur, Kajaking zwischen den Eisbergen... Die Betreuung am Schiff und durch die Guides sowie die Unterbringung verdienen ein 1++++

After what I consider the best trip in my life, Svalbard in 2012, I have had the opportunity to travel again with Oceanwide Expeditions. It has been a great joy, just like to be reunited to a dear and old friend. Everyone on board has been not only skilled and experienced, but also kind, helpful and friendly. On Oceanwide ships you feel safe and warmly welcomed. See you in Antarctica!

thousand thanks to the great expedition team and also to the ships crew, who were always friendly, although it was the last trip of the season.

Great expedition, beautiful landscapes, fantastic guides, knowledgeable and always available, good spirit !

Unsere Fahrt mit der Plancius war ein voller Erfolg. Wir haben eine neue Welt entdeckt, wurden bestens betreut und informiert. Es war eine unserer schönsten und eindrücklichsten Reisen.

We came back because we enjoyed our trip on Ortelius to Svalbard. Again we had a fantastic experience with Jan and the team. Can't praise it highly enough. Great attention to detail, especially with my vegan diet.

Weitert zu empfehlen
