This was a cruise of a lifetime on the west coast of Africa. The Vega is a brand new ship that is as top notch as they come. The crew and staff were excellent throughout the voyage. We ran into a couple of days of seas that were impossible to get to shore on the zodiacs, but they scrambled and got other alternative things for us to do. You have to be prepared on an expedition for things to not always work out as planned. Over all I think that they performed brilliantly and it was an amazing time. The cabin was one of the best I have ever been in. So much storage and very nice bath with shower. Lovely balcony with table and chairs. The common areas were excellent and well appointed. The dining was excellent with great choices of food and very good quality. I would highly recommend them for any traveler wanting a smaller, more intimate experience on an informative expedition luxury ship.
