She took great joy in what she saw, but the crew went to great trouble to carry her ashore at one landing so she had set foot. I wasn’t there, but I hope they got her close to some penguins!
That is amazing that the crew helped her like that!
What cruise line/ship was this, and approximately when?
I wouldn't need *that* kind of assistance!
We were also wondering about Hurtigruten (some of their ships, anyway) use of the polarcirkel boats instead of the regular (zodiacs?).
Apparently the polarcirkels are easier hold on to, and also have more comfortable/stable seating??
I don't know if their new "green" ships have the polarcirkels or not.
Has anyone been on these?
Thanks.
