Once onboard we ventured out into the ocean and within 20 minutes we were spotting whales! We carried on and saw more and more.

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.
