We enjoyed every minute of this unique holiday. we saw 6 polar bears, walruses, seals reindeer and numerous birds, including a black kite. All the activities were well regulated, sometimes challenging, and always fulfilled our expectations. The whole crew were exceptional.

Eine Expeditionsreise, die meine Erwartungen voll erfüllt hat. Mitternachtssonne, arktischer Sommer(beginn). Gletscher, arktische Tierwelt. arktische Flora, Packeis, tolles Schiff, ausgezeichnete Guides, hochwertiges Essen, gute Crew und Mannschaft.

Me and some other students from the Arctic center in Groningen got the opportunity to go on this trip at a discount and I feel so grateful. It truly was a one in a lifetime experience, the guides were amazing and we saw so many amazing animals. I also made friends for life.

It was a great trip with beautiful, enthusiastic guides en great service on the ship.

Great and unforgettable experience. Ship best suited for this kind of trip. Crew excellent from waiters and maintenance staff to great guides and Florence as the head of expedition did a wonderful job

TUTTI SUPER

The scale of the surroundings of sea and mountains is both overwhelming and humbling. Nature nearly devoid of humans is wonderful but seeing their scattered remains brings shame. Svalbard heightens the awareness of what humans have been and are still doing to ruin our planet. It hits you especially hard in these beautiful and nearly unspoilt places like Svalbard.

Esperienza emozionante - vero spirito artico - cruise in zodiac e passeggiate artiche sempre piene di sorprese! Guide esperte ed eccellenti e sempre a disposizione. Personale della nave preparato e professionale.

This was definitely one of the best adventures ever. Interresting, exotic, with calm sea, well organized. But most of all it was the GOOD VIBE among the staff which you simply feel. You might say it is professionalism. OK, yes, but you can say when one is just "professional" or pationate. Thank you for this and have safe travels on which I hope to join you again, soon.

Everything was perfect, thank you so much to everyone on board!

I experienced the Artic with its blue ice, glaciers, turquise sea, mountains and wildlife (polar bears). We were taken on expeditions in small boats The “Zodiacs” which was very exciting. The staff/ crew were service minded (friendly and helpful). The food was really good. I shared a cabin with 3 very nice dutch ladies.

The birding part was probably good but it was not my main intention. Not enough information given before the trip and during the trip.

Schneebedeckte Berge, wunderschöne Fjorde, ein toll konzipiertes Schiff (mit nur 80 Passagieren bei dieser Fahrt) und wunderschöne (Schneeschuh-)Wanderungen machten die Tour Ende Mai/Anfang Juni 2022 zu einem Erfolg. Wenn man sich vor Reisebuchung darüber im Klaren ist, dass gem. AECO Expeditionsschiffe einen Abstand von mindestens 200 m zu den Eisbären halten müssen und Zodiacausflüge nicht stattfinden, wenn ein Eisbär im Wasser ist, dann hat man mit Oceanwide-Expeditions einen kompetenten Partner.

Kaum an Bord habe ich mich schon irgendwie wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die komplette Crew hat mir den zehntägigen Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht, und das gilt für alle, egal ob Expeditionsteam, Servicepersonal (Restaurant, Kabinenservice, Rezeption) oder die sonstige Crew. Auch wenn wetterbedingt Anlandungen ausfielen, war es für mich eine schöne, interessante und erholsame Expeditions-Kreuzfahrt. Höhepunkte waren natürlich die Eisbären und am nächsten Abend das Barbeque mitten im Packeis - total verrückt, aber genial.

het was een geweldige ervaring, crew was geweldig. in 1 woord doe deze cruise !!!!
