We have taken over 80 cruises and this was the best cruise we have ever taken. For 18 days the staff were attentive and happy. The expedition team is incredible! Very knowledgeable and very helpful. Daily briefings were extremely informative and the shore excursions that we took twice each day when weather permitted were wonderful. The food was great and well presented. There was a wide variety of food. The staff in the dining room interacted well with the guests.

Every evening the daily briefings were combined with happy hour just before dinner. We always found those to be informative and the expedition leader always made us laugh. He was excellent!

It is an older ship so the cabins are not as elegant as the newer ships but they were clean and more than adequate since we spent most our time outside viewing wildlife. I really can't say enough good things about the staff and the wonderful sites that they made sure we saw. Thank you!
