"No words can convey anything like an adequate conception of its sublime grandeur - the noble simplicity and fineness of the sculpture of the walls, their magnificent proportions, their cascades, gardens, and forest adornments, the placid fiord between them, the great white and blue ice wall, and the snow-laden mountains beyond..."

I certainly can't imagine any bunch of things coming together as well as they did. 8 straight days of sunshine, bear cubs chasing each other and playing like children do, a glacier calving like it did whales doing the 'bubble net' thing, Dahl's porpoises in the early morning calm waters.... It was just amazing. The last evening, we ate cheesecake on the top deck of the boat, while we sat and watched the sunset.
Just thinking about it, even stretched over 8 days, it was so much to take in and absorb. All in a 100 year old boat that was restored by the very people I was with. It felt like they invited me into their home for a week. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
