It was really a great trip. It was My first cruise, and that went better than expected. Great booking and pre-trip service by Polar Tours, specially Celia! At the Ocean Albatros, the experience was just amazing: from the little greenlandic villages and 4 days of northern lights at the top deck, to the zodiac cruise in the middle of huge icebergs, and also an ESPECTACULAR Expedition team, lead by Mark, an incredible guy. Food at the ship was good, the room was super comfortable, the captain is also an incredible fellow, deeply passioned about his profession. Long story short, a trip never to forget, really amazing and safe adventures. Really recommend to everyone. I wasn't sure how it was gonna go when I booked, due to the lack of reviews (even on Youtube), but I can now say it is worth it. You have my true review here and I'll also make one on youtube!

A very nice cruise ship, a very capable captain Johan, and a very professional team of guides. We were fortunate to have nice weather so all planned activities were executed.

Plancius Antarctic and Arctic Cruises

Classic

Although I have participated in many wildlife-focused tours throughout the world, this was my first trip to the Arctic and my first ship-based expedition. In short, I had an amazing experience! The expedition team all had impressive resumes and worked hard to meet the individual preferences of the guests. Through shore excursions and zodiac cruises, they made the natural and human history of Svalbard come alive. We spent two days in the pack ice far from shore in an otherworldly experience. We were fortunate enough to find three different polar bears on our voyage but sightings of birds, seals, reindeer, walrus, whales and arctic foxes kept us busy throughout the journey.

Plancius Antarctic and Arctic Cruises

Classic

This was my first boat exploration trip and it exceeded my expectations. Of course, the first polar bear on the open ice was the highlight. She was magnificent! The crew aboard the Plancius was excellent. The guides were excellent as well, each had their own areas of expertise which was helpful for the detailed knowledge and answers to our questions we were looking for. I also enjoyed glacier and bird explorations in the zodiacs.
