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.

Tolle Crew, wunderbare Erlebnisse.

Not only was this a great trip with great expedition crew, but we were lucky enough to have fellow passengers from the Scott Polar Research Institute/Cambridge on board who were gracious enough to provide lectures on various topics including geology, glaciers, etc. A super extra bonus was having John Shears on board with the Scott Polar Research group, and he gave an awesome presentation on being the expedition leader that just recently discovered Shackleton's Endurance under the ice in Antarctica.

An excellent trip with superb crew on the ship. I was greatly surprised, and impressed, by the number and variety of fungi on Greenland

Greenland West our own initiative , Spitzbergen and Greenland East by MS Plancius: Greenland East ->again all guides did perfecly their job, the weather was the best, the landscape were other as expected, but still exciting.

Great trip overall. Enjoyed everyone we had contact with. Great weather, unexpectedly calm and warm. Only disappointment was fewer wildlife than hoped..

The 13 day trip of exploring the fjords of Greenland was an educational and hands on experience with all the region has to offer. The wild life was amazing seeing Whales, Seals, Reindeer, Musk Ox and a Polar Bear. The amazing sites of the region were also a show stoppers: sea ice, icebergs, rock formations, plant life and the northern lights did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to understand the area and explore all the beauty that Greenland has to offer. It was an amazing trip.

20 days full of adventures - skilled crew and good company with fellow travellers. Pics says mor then 1000 words: see my selected fotos on https://hpulrich.ch/arktis/spitzbergen-groenland/ Thanks to everybody who makes this happen!

Durch das sonnige Wetter konnten wir sehr vieles sehen und erleben. Besonders eindrücklich waren für mich Wale, Rentiere, Eisbärenmutter mit Kind, ein abbrechender Gletscher und die Natur mit seinen kleinen Pflanzen unmittelbar zu erleben.

A fantastic trip. The guides were friendly and knowledgable, the food was great, and most importantly, the wildlife and scenery exceeded my expectations. Absolutely breathtaking. The expedition leader and captain were terrific in reconfiguring the trip when weather precluded us from going with the original itinerary to places where we would see as much or more than we expected. I would highly recommend both this trip and this company.

Allthough I chose this trip because I wanted to see polar bears in their natural habitat , and how successfull this trip was, I was most impressed by the landscapes, the “spitsbergen”, the fjords, the enormous and countless glaciers and the packice. And all that from a very silent, comfortable ship, the M/V Plancius. I loved it.

Well organized, enlightening and varied trip on a beautiful ship with a great crew.
