Creator's Key Takeaways

It's not just a cruise and it's an expedition with Lindbald and National Geographic.

Our entire room was literally shaking.

The crew was so professional and took such good care of the guests, we did not even notice or understand the dangers.

This is one of my favorite moments on the expedition.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your flights to arrive by noon to catch the ship's 3 p.m. departure.
Sign up for excursions before you fly out.
Make sure if you want a quiet room that you do not pick a room at the lowest floor of the ship.
Bring water shoes, hiking shoes, dry bag, rain gear, outdoor-friendly clothes, bug spray, sunscreen, and a camera.
