Marlene & Alain S.
Arctic / Spitzberg
“We have been dreaming of the cruise to Spitsbergen for a long time. It was extraordinary: glaciers, polar bears, wild reindeer, shades and colors that we didn't imagine. Magical encounters with magnificent and wild fauna... A world apart. And then, on the ship, the warmth and kindness of the crew, the sharing of experiences and emotions, timeless moments. One of our fondest cruise memories!”

Artic / Greenland
“Amazing itinerary beyond the Arctic Circle, discovering Iceland and Greenland. Among my fondest memories were my meeting with the Inuit and their joyful welcome, the moments of relaxation on board the ship while sailing in the ice floe, and the zodiac outings. When adventure, with a capital A, mixes with emotion with a capital E it provides breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable memories! Thank you to the naturalist guides who passed on their knowledge with professionalism and to the crew for their attention.”
Syvie C.
Arctic / Svalbard
“The Arctic is a place like no other! My first impressions, which were the most magnificent, where while discovering the ship, and seeing these pieces of ice floating around us. Our Captain offered to wake us up if something spectacular occurred. This is how we discovered, at 1 a.m., a mother bear and her cub. For us, this trip was pure magic!”
