This was an Expedition cruise in SVALBARD NORWAY only 1300 km from the North Pole. Amazing to be able to get to this location on a luxurious Swan Hellenic Vega expedition ship. The number of massive glaciers right down to the ocean is stunning. Everything about the ship, the staff, the service, the food, the Expedition Guides & presentations, the safe handling of passengers, was 100%. Unfortunately the weather was not co-operative and we had 7 days of dark low cloud, and wind (very little rain). This caused rescheduling of Zodiac Expeditions and Hikes and hard work for Captain Sven + Expedition Leader Brandon Kleyn as they endeavored to manoever the SH VEGA to safely protect loading/unloading of passengers on/off the zodiacs, and/or change locations to allow zodiac trips to continue. Lots of birds, arctic fox, large walrus colony from a distance (we couldn't land rough water ), one polar bear from the ship (there were 7 other polar bears which unfortunately we couldn't get to because of rough water). I have taken many Expedition cruises around the world - the weather is always in Mother Nature's hands.
