· September 30th, 2023
The whole trip was awesome! Would have liked 2-3 hours in Nome at the beginning of the trip. We went directly from the plane to the ship. The crew were great; the food wonderful; housekeeping on top of the rooms and common spaces. The expedition team and expeditions were well done and wonderful and the dining service staff were on point every meal of every day. All staff took time to know their guests. And I can’t forget the reception staff including the behind the scenes staff (including engineers) that keep all running and were part of the ship staff band! I can’t say enough about this cruise…thank you.
