My husband and I wanted to see some of Tasmania and were very pleasantly surprised by the variety, scenery and wildlife we saw as we were shown around by the energetic, thoughtful and experienced tour guides. Food and service were very good with wine included with the meals. I recommend being on a small ship like this - so much more personal. All the passengers could fit on the tender which was a big plus as everyone was included on the 'tender only' tours and shore transfers were very quick and convenient. The itinerary was varied to suit the conditions while still including everything we expected to see. The tour leader went to great lengths to maximise comfort for the passengers and include special events such as the wooden boat festival in Hobart. It was great to explore Port Davey and Melaleuca which is only accessible by sea, air or 4 day hike. The lectures were informative. Overall the cruise exceeded our expectations.
