Creator's Key Takeaways

I even did a subpolar plunge.

He brought it to me and lent it to me for the entire rest of the cruise.

The glacier caved right in front of us. Thunderous crouch crashed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a Horizon stateroom for more space instead of a balcony.
Be flexible with your itinerary due to weather changes on expeditions.
Hire a local guide to enhance your experience in new destinations.
