      Amazing trip. Boat ferry to bus ride over the pass to the cruise boat. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Nice ship. Clean but tiny accommodations. Spectacular views. Kayaking and swim from boat. Delicious and plentiful food. We loved every minute.

      It lived up to expectation and more. We were well fed and had informative talks. Not too much and not too little
