Thanks for your review. Such a shame you couldn’t get to visit the ports but nice that you still managed to have a positive outlook and enjoy your cruise. Hope you’re recovered now!

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!

Wonderful Cruise--could not have asked for a better experience!
