5.00Experience fabulous and worth the money. Clean ship, awesome crew, very informative on our stops of wildlife and glacier. A bit colder than expected so be prepared of wind when out at sea. Those who get motion sickness take your meds as it can be a bit rough waters.
Highly recommended!!

5.001. Prepare for motion sickness if you have the propensity for it. 2. Dress in layers to go from sunny and warm to windy and cold to raw and rainy 3. If you bring a camera, especially w telephoto lens, bring a monopod for stability 4. Bring your binoculars
