Thanks for a memory for life. Truels and his friends together with Captain and crew made us feel very well and took us to places that we never will forget. A fantastic journey. Thanks for everything.

Best Cruise, expedition, and excellent Staff.

It was the perfect holiday. I wanted to see the king pinguines ... and we saw a lot ... The crew was the best. The captainn did his best ... the kitchen was perfect and the guides did the best that we see everything. This trip was better than I expected !!!!

Oceanwide couldn't have done a better job. The ship was new and excellent, the crew was awesome, the food was terrific, especially considering that there was no way to retrovision the ship on a 21 day trip. I heard nothing but the highest praise for Oceanwide from other passengers.

Fabulous trip Will use Oceanwide again

I like everything specially the crew and the entusiasm of the guides.of corse, the place was wonderful. I hope to come again on bord in the future

It was amazing The icebergs, the scenery, the ship, the food, the staff and the people were amazing

I booked this trip for ice pack and polar bears. And my expectations were fully met. The ship is so silent, as they say, "not luxurious" and right to the type of destination and expedition from all point of view. Itinerary pleasantly disrupted by ice and bears. Staff very nice and knowledgeable. Bridge open most times. Very quiet and special over there on deck 7. I advice to choose cabins on deck 6 with superior cabins, especially for fantastic windows size.

All meals, esp soup, are too salty to Taiwanese people. Old people always have hypertension or poor renal function, low salt diet option wonld be more considerate.

Everything was wonderful: places, ship, staff, crew and, above all, polar bear! Thanks to all

We hardly had left the harbour of Longyearbyen as we met a group of 100 Belugas in the fjord, what a start of our journey! And we had more luck: a polar fox in Ny Alesund, reindeer, 2 groups of walrus lazy on their beach, bearded seals and black guillemots all over the place. And if you think that this was all: in one day we saw 5 different polarbears! This was also the first time the Hondius could go all around Spitsbergen. So greatfull to Hondius and the crew!

Unvergessliche Expeditionsreise , hier hat alles gestimmt, sehr kompetentes Expeditionsteam, sehr zu empfehlen.

Our ten day trip around Svalbard with the Hondius was excellent. There was absolutely nothing to complain about, it was perfect. The boat was beautiful, we had a lovely cabin and the food was delicious. The guids were absolutely great, they had so much knowledge and they were very friendly. This trip has defenitely showed us the beauty of Svalbard and her stunning nature. The activities were fantastic and they had nice difficulty levels to make it possible for everybody to have a lovely trip. We have seen so many animals (six polar bears, one swimming around the ship twice, walruses, wales, reindeer, etc) due to an amazing team of expierenced staff. I can truly invent nothing negative about the whole experience, and I would recommend it to everybody. It was an experience to never forget.

I have visited 92 countries, so I thought that I had seen most of our Earth! Not true, the Arctic trip brought me to a new marvelous place that I did not think that existed. The beauty of the scenery, the amazement in front of the arctic animals, the silence of the nature are unforgettable! On top of that we had a wonderful team of expedition guides and a beautiful ship at its first travel. Everything was super and I believe that I will do more of these trips!

Fantastic experience seeing Arctic wildlife. We were blessed with good weather and the ice floe passage was magnificent. The Guiding was very good and lectures interesting. The only disappointment was not being able to go to the nesting cliffs because of too much wind and swell in the afternoon. The Hotel facilities were good and the staff excellent, helpful and courteous. All in all a trip of a life time.
