It was my sister’s birthday, and although she only noticed her birthday badge at the end of the trip, Anja still went out of her way to make the moment special by offering her a bottle of champagne. That thoughtful gesture truly made the day memorable for us. The team’s warmth and professionalism made this experience not only about seeing the amazing sea life but also…”

The staff was great, offering Viking props for pictures, Viking face paint and info about the animals we saw. We had a group of 12 and we all took motion sickness medicine a half hour before the trip. Most of the group survived, but a few got sea sick. The staff was prepared and offered bags for those who needed them. The boat was pretty rocking! So be prepared for that. All in all a great day at sea! Even those who got sick were glad for the experience.…”
