Creator's Key Takeaways

this was a bucket list item for us in 2019

the ship was 90 minutes total time that was probably the most disappointing part of our whole trip

the enrichment was fantastic so on the ship they had eight different Expedition leaders

the best night on the ship is always the crew night

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do it now versus later as some of the natural beauty is disappearing
✓Appreciate the people that live there and also appreciate the fact that the sun doesn't go down
✓For Windstar, the best part is the Expedition leaders that are there at 7 A.M every morning

Dress code for dining — Smart casual is acceptable; no need to dress up to the nines
