Punctual departure and arrival times. We had the opportunity to see the humpback whales up close, we could almost touch them. They lent us suits to protect us from the cold and the water and offered us a hot chocolate. The guide was very good. Fantastic experience.

The ability of the captain and the entire crew to give us an experience that was unique to us but hopefully repeatable as soon as we return to Iceland from Italy.

Dream night. Crew was so nice and the guide knew so much about the aurora. Lights were out almost the whole time. Bring a scarf!

Took my partner for a surprise—he’s obsessed with the aurora and I finally get it. The lights were sooooo beautiful, like a moving painting. Crew were fun, kept checking if we were warm enough. There’s a photographer on board who snapped some pics for us. Bring a hat, the wind is savage.

Went with my wife, both of us loved it. The guide was really informative. Lights were a bit shy but still a great experience. Would go again.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but had a great time. The guide was funny and knew a lot. Lights were good, not EPIC but still memorable.
