Common issues. Wavy conditions possible—seasickness meds recommended. Guests with motion concerns stayed indoors. No guarantees on whales—guides maximize time in feeding areas. Food purchase adds up—pack snacks if budget tight.
No absolute guarantee, but operators report 95%+ success in season with expert knowledge of feeding grounds. Past guests saw multiple species on most trips—guides stay longer if needed.
Arctic waters can be wavy, especially on return. Heated saloons help, but take seasickness meds if prone. Guests in moderate waves stayed comfortable indoors.
Yes for older children who handle cold and boat motion. Families said kids loved deck spotting and indoor warmth—supervise near edges.
Café has limited options—request vegetarian soup alternative at booking if needed. Guests found snacks and drinks fine, but pack extras.
Panoramic windows and outdoor decks give great angles. Guides pause for shots—bring a good zoom lens or phone with stabilizer. Many got breach photos from deck.
