Spitsbergen Explorer
The whole trip form start (delayed with an overnight in Oslo due to extreme fog!)to finish. The small-ish size of the ship and all the people onboard. Neatless to say the highlight was my bermuda shorts worn for the BBQ on deck in less than tropical conditions!
Spitsbergen Explorer

The sea-kayaking was a most brilliant addition to the trip. We had beluga whales dive under the canoes, spotted a polar bear meandering along the shore that we were kayaking and got to immerse ourselves (almost literally!) in the stillness and wonder of the arctic waters.
