In Reykjavik we said farewell to our lovely participants on
our Greenland voyage and hello to a full ship of Chinese Climate Cruiser’s. What
an atmosphere, a new adventure started today. Excited and ready we begin this
new experience. After the initial tour of the ship the guests were met by the
team of officers in the panorama lounge. The captain and his crew held an informative
and moving welcome speech.

After their talk the expedition crew was introduced.
Long laughs were heard when the new guests heard the expedition team had learned
the Chinese words for “Hi” “Welcome” “Polar bear” and “whale”.
We all enjoyed a lovely buffet in the restaurant and as the
gorgeous view of Iceland’s landscape slowly drifted past us, whales and dophins were seen in
the distant horizon. We all felt very much at home onboard this beautiful ship.
Next stop: Jan Mayen.
