Fabulous trip to some of the most remote and beautiful parts of the world, teeming with wildlife and wonderful autumn colours.. Superbly organised shore trips with excellent and very helpful crew members. We were landed ashore safely in often difficult conditions. A safety perimeter was established and the guides were freely available to provide information about the plant life and animals we saw. On board the captain would announce any wild life viewings and would follow whales and other wild life to provide passengers with the best possible views

The cabin was spacious and well appointed with lots of storage space. The cabin crew were efficient and inobtrusive. The attached balcony was a great asset and a good place to relax and watch the coastline and birds drift past. The dining areas were elegant and the waiters attentive and helpful. The food was top quality, especially the cheeses, one of my weaknesses, and the menus varied.. There was probably too much but the energetic walks ashore prevented too much damage to the waistline.

The lectures by the guides were interesting and informative but I was not a great fan of the stage shows. They did not seem appropriate for an adventure cruise and probably I was too tired to enjoy them at the end of a usually energetic day.
