Experience was very good getting off the ship--very organized. The transfer to the airport was hampered by 2 of the 5 tunnels in Boston being shut down that day for maintenance.

Great Cruise

This was an excellent cruise on a beautiful ship with a unique itinerary and an awesome crew. Sailing through Prince Christian Sound in Greenland was an amazing experience. Having 5 ports in Iceland was a chance to see so much!
