Creator's Key Takeaways

we have been invited on this trip but we're going to be very honest anyway even though we have been invited on board this is a once- in a-lifetime trip guys

this is not a cruise ship this is an expedition ship so it's very different this thing is built for expeditions

we've just had an announcement over the Tano that there is a huge pod of whels that is just around the ship there is so many of them this is amazing

the whole journey so far I mean we're only sort of four five days into our journey of our 3w week journey and it's just gone so quickly the days are literally just flying

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring layers of clothing as the weather changes quickly
Pack waterproof trousers for zodiac landings
Use seasickness medication before rough seas
