Creator's Key Takeaways

We've enjoyed the scenery. It looks super super arctic out there now.

It's really good value. I think I'm loving this.

This was our first time experiencing an afternoon tea here, and we were generally impressed by the wide selection and variety on offer.

We felt so lucky to have this table. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the stunning scenery as we docked.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the specialty restaurant ahead of the cruise for better pricing.
Consider booking 2 hours for the thermal spa for great value.
Use the free shuttle bus to explore the city center.
