Creator's Key Takeaways

she's a beautiful smaller ship only carrying 212 guests and at the star legend actually which is the ship will be sailing on as you mentioned actually is an ice clasped ship

we're going to be launching our expedition equipment I was odx our kayaks and then our expedition staff will take you off the ship in Tracy our Endicott really get up close and personal to add to the wildlife to the eyes to the glacis

the zodiac cruises will last around an hour fifteen minutes and the total length bar kayak adventures I'm really excited but I kind of man just because what we're going to do is actually take the kayaks to a remote location

we've built time into the schedule to allow us to stop the ship if we see great wildlife so we see a pod of killer whales or we see a part of Wales will stop the ship for half an hour look at them
