One day at home after Eurodam and now I'm off to Spitsbergen. It's a one-week cruise, departing from Longyearbyen and going wherever the ice allows us in search of Polar bears and big bergs. I'm cruising with Lindblad, which is sold in the UK through Titan Tours.
As I write this I am waiting for their VIP home transfer service taxi to arrive and whisk me to the airport. How civilised is that?
I would say it's the only cruise I've ever been on where Wellington boots were on the packing list, except that I had to take them when I cruised to Antarctica. You need them for getting out of the Zodiacs as the chances are you'll have to wade through icy water to get ashore.
My daughter is with me on this one - a teenager, so she'll be able to report on the cruise from her perspective.
I've already been warned that the internet might be sticky, so don't be surprised if there are not regular posts, but I'll do my best so keep checking in.
