  • Svalbard - Last Stop before the North Pole reviewer 1
    · July 8th, 2024
    Svalbard and the tour curated by Tourradar was amazing. The sites and experiences are indescribable. Likewise the crew of the Ocean Albatros go above and beyond the call of duty to make their guests feel very welcome and satsified with the excursions provided. This was not only my first trip to Europe, but my first cruise too. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to reach the top of the world and do so in a budget-friendly (despite still being very expensive) fashion.
