I attended the 2025 Clia Expedition Summit in Svalbard – and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I loved it so much, I booked a Swan Hellenic cruise from Reykjavik as soon as I got home and three weeks later I was sailing on Vega along the East Greenland coastline. I said to myself “I need to get on one of those bad boys!”.
Ship visits are great, but actually getting onboard and sailing is amazing. Vega’s East Greenland sailing was my first-ever expedition cruise. It was very high end. The food and drinks served onboard were absolutely outstanding.
