I enjoyed the port visit and the tour, which was very comprehensive. However, it was very cold because of the wind and the captain talked too much into the microphone. He said a lot of useless things.

What i didn't love: the time mentioned on the ticket (11.30) was incorrect. The boat was leaving at 11.15. And they react as if we were wrong. Not nice!!!

Excellent staff on board. Need more signage on docks. App for English speakers is glitchy. Must restart several times on the cruise.

The ride itself was okay - the speaker was not always easy to understand - finding the departure point was time-consuming, cumbersome - a cheek
