Yes

Tell us about Zodiac excursions

Definitely will remember the first zodiac ride just before touching land for the first time. Always felt safe

Tell us about the expedition team

Team was extremely knowledgeable. I enjoyed the one on one time just listening to their past experiences

Tell us about the Ocean Nova

Enjoyed the ship. Cabin was acceptable and you don’t spend too much time in it anyway. Food was incredible. I would definitely choose this ship again

Something Else?

Buy souvenirs before you board the ship. My cell phone camera was more than enough to capture the moment and the on board photographer provides some beautifully captured moments. Definitely bring a bathing suit and do the Polar Plunge!
