I went with our spiritual teacher and a group of 21 persons on Quark expeditions "Ocean Diamond" ship from 29 Dec 2013 to 7 Jan 2014. The ship was cosy and comfortable. We stayed on the 7th deck where room with balconies are situated. The best thing of this floor was the observatory. It was like having a large library attached to your room and world's most scintillating views around. The hotel crew were just awesome. The expedition crew headed by Shane Evoy did a splendid job. We were kept busy and entertained with various talks and shows. Wifi is very expensive. US$100 for 100 MB of data. Somehow the outgoing data was always three times that of incoming data.
Over all a beautiful experience. Superb Quark
