After three days of life in the harbour, it is time to go
out to sea again! Despite the friendly smile of the Icelandic traffic lights,
we are happy to finally (and hopefully!) leave this rainy weather behind us and
head back to Greenlandic horizons once more.
Passengers arrived and it was a typical busy afternoon with
everybody setting up cruise accounts, getting the blue expedition jackets and
exploring the ship.
During the mandatory safety drill the use of the life
jackets was explained and people were familiarized with their muster stations.
Then, Captain Rune Andreassen welcomed everyone on board in the Observation
Lounge.
The last trip of the Arctic season has now started and
we are all very much looking forward to it! (and for the short term
expectation: we are hoping that the Denmark Strait will not be too bumpy –
despite the forecast!)
MV FRAM is the most modern expedition cruise vessel belonging to the Hurtigrutenfleet, roaming the polar waters and taking people to remote places where only few people go. In order to give you the chance to travel with us, even if only on your screen, we created this blog. Here you can see what we have seen and read what we have done. And - maybe - you will be onboard with us one day.
The expedition team consists of lecturers from various fields and backgrounds: ornithologists, mammalogists, historians, and geologists, ready to tackle all your questions. Together with the crew onboard we make your time on board REALLY worthwhile!
