Highlights were whales (including blue whales) & polar bears less than 50 metres away. Beautiful scenery, glaciers and great wildlife sightings Our fellow passengers were great to share our experiences & generally hang out. The ships naturalist team/guides were very knowledgeable, gave great lectures. Crew very friendly & could not do enough for you. We really appreciated being upgraded to the suite. It was good to have access to basic intermittent WIFI Food was average, but not important to the enjoyment of the whole trip

The natural beauty is amazing. Greenland is friendly, beautifully. Expensive , and well worth visiting. Be in good shape in order to hike this country. You will not be disappointed in your efforts.

We loved the glaciers upon glaciers and the opportunities to get off the ship. The bears were amazing and wish we could have seen more and more and more of them!

Good fun, guides very good and informed. Very busy with excursions and talks and I'm pleased I've done it now as although the heart is young the knees and hips aren't so and up and down wobbly gangways, rocking zodiacs and rocky shores in wellington boots could be a thing of the past. Landscapes very often lost in mist. Tundra vegetation very interesting. Birds good but fewer species than Id expected. Polar bears in a sad state. Seals few, no doubt due to lack of sea ice.

The whole experience was memorable, but seeing the first polar bear was amazing! Also the dog sledding was something I will not forget. We were lucky to have snow the day we did the sledding. I don’t think it would have been the same if we had done it on wheels.
