Norway and the Arctic

May 31 2018
Hello G Expedition

A super "long" 3 min bus transfer from hotel to pier. Embarkation was seamless, followed by the mandatory SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) drills, general orientation of the ship, captain's welcome, briefing by hotel manager, expedition teams. The ship set off slightly later as one of the passenger's flight was delayed.

It's praka party after dinner to get your own red expedition jackets
