Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Gary bembridge and as I always do I booked and paid for this costy trip myself

I thought the ship was fantastic my first reaction on seeing and boarding the ship is it felt really large and expansive for an expedition ship

the food was a bit dried out when dining with others that one time I went to the main dining room for dinner

I thought the entertainment was perfectly great for an expedition trip

This is what I discovered when I went.
