Social & Environmental Responsibility: "Excellent"
Accommodation
Delightful hotel in a superb location. Interesting and unusual rooms reflecting the architecture. Staff, service and restaurant excellent. Plenty of choice nearby if you feel the need to eat out.
Can\'t fault the ship, crew, excursions, food or service. However, we felt there was a lack of in-depth expertise regarding the contextualisation of what we were seeing. A few lectures given by experts would have been welcome.
The lodge, facilities, staff and food were excellent. The guides tailored the excursions to the needs of the different groups and the partnering of a local guide with a professional hit just the right note.
