Creator's Key Takeaways

the food is surprisingly excellent i didn't think it would be as good as it is

we missed at least half of the more interesting areas that we were supposed to visit

they also charged every passenger 65 euro for that rapid antigen test that we had to take before we can get on board

i have never been on an expedition cruise that didn't have briefings before dinner

Expect limited bathroom space and plan for small dishes at meals
