Absolutely loved our cruise on the SH Vega. The staff were wonderful. Everyone was friendly, warm, and welcoming. The food was excellent. The food was the highlight for our fussy teenage eater. I have gluten problems and had no issues at all the entire 2 weeks. For every meal, the staff walked me through the menu/buffet to point out which items were safe, and everything could be made without gluten upon request. When we weren’t feeling well they brought food to the room. The excursions were excellent - the expedition team were experts and so caring and cautious with the guests and with being environmentally responsible on land and on the water. The glaciers and wildlife were magical. There were lots of informative lectures, game nights, an art class, movie night with popcorn, board games, a library, and evening entertainment with the pianist. The cabin was very comfortable and the housekeeping staff were efficient and kept the room in excellent condition. We were very well taken care of. There weren’t specific activities for children, although there were only 3 on our cruise. They had fun at game nights, and our teen enjoyed the wide range of in-room movies, and enjoyed all the excursions too. We were provided with an arctic jacket which was fabulous, and a waterproof backpack and water bottle. The basic wifi isn’t great, and it’s not cheap to upgrade, but we weren’t there to sit on social media, so it was a good incentive to break from that. But we had sufficient wifi to take work video calls etc when needed. Highly recommend taking a good camera (not just phone), do the optional kayaking trip (expensive add-on but worth it), have a massage in the spa (totally worth it), and take your swimsuit because the swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna are wonderful. It’s particularly nice to be cruising through freezing temperatures and watching for whales from the hot tub. I saw whales while on the treadmill in the gym. I didn’t think I was a “cruise person” and wasn’t sure what it was going to be like but it far exceeded my expectations. It was the best vacation I ever had. Highly recommend. I rate it 10/10.
