Reviews
Our cruise was an absolute highlight. The narration was good, and the staff was very helpful. They provided us with warm jackets and binoculars. We were lucky enough to spot albatrosses and seals during the cruise. The day before, another group had spotted an orca!

The itinerary was canceled due to weather conditions, and we are awaiting a full refund.
