Today we started off in a new adventure: we set sail towards the Falklands,
South Georgia and the Antarctic continent! At about 16.00 the first passengers arrived
on MV Fram. It was busy like in a bee house on all the check-in desks: cruise
accounts were opened, luggage distributed to cabins, cruise cards handed out,
additional excursions were booked and yeah well, everyone just “settled in”
onboard the ship, with which we will sail into 2015!
And before we left Ushuaia all of us had to attend a mandatory safety
briefing. So the General Alarm set off and we dressed warm and got outside on
deck 5 to our muster station to follow the briefing.
After a very nice dinner buffet in the board restaurant (we hope
everyone tasted the fantastic brownies for dessert…), it was time for the
Captains Welcome cocktail! We got to know the officers, our international expedition
team, and last but not least, learned some useful information about our own
cosy cabins. And full of expectations and excitement we fell into our beds – a
very good night everyone!
