Hard to say! the whole trip was amazing. I had particularly wanted to see walrus so maybe the encounter with a large group on day 1 would have to be that.read more

Seeing Polar Bears close up, a pod of Walrus onshore and a group of 5 arctic fox cubs. Oh and seeing a glacier calve, sailing through ice, everyday brought something new and spectacular... Great care is taken not to disturb the wildlife in their natural habitat. A holiday of a lifetime. read more

I saw a polar bear, lots of walruses, seals, reindeer and an arctic fox as well as a wide variety of birds... It was excellent. It was really well organised and being on a smaller ship with around 100 passengers meant the stops were not overwhelmed with tourists.read more
