Chose this cruise for the destination and the fact that it was a small ship and expedition. All excursions were expedition with an experienced naturalists leading each off ship experience. Dining was exceptional. Staff on board took care of every detail to maximize your experience. Destination did not disappoint. There was entertainment each evening and while we did not dance the night away, I was told many did. Mixture of ages- from 8 to 80. To fully experience the cruise, I would recommend that you be able to hike and swim off of zodiacs. The staff will assist and safety first but you need to be able to do the walks and swim. Of course you can stay onboard. We loved this line and booked our next adventure while on board. There was a choice of the main dining room or a more casual outside dining experience. The same menus and there was always a main stay available if you did not like the menu of the day. High Tea was every day. This cruise was a French cruise but they did both languages and separated the off shore groups by language.
