LUXURY LIVING TRAVEL u
The accommodations themselves are all ocean-view suites and staterooms with private bath- on average they are the most spacious of any expedition ship ranging from 175 square feet to 675 square feet- all with such conveniences as interactive flat-screen television with complimentary on-demand movies, marble bath, European bath amenities, plush bedding with choice of pillow, robes, slippers, and a beverage cabinet stocked and replenished to guests’ preferences as well as chilled champagne upon arrival.
The Silver Suite, with living room, bedroom, bath with tub and separate shower, walk-in wardrobe and two narrow French balconies. The outstanding butler, will spoil you with, among other things, unpacking / packing service, afternoon tea with pastries, occasional wine and hors d’ oeuvres and a daily chilled bowl of fresh berries. The stewardess, keeps things spotless and the luxury soaps, lotions and shampoos replenished, as well as leaving Godiva chocolates each evening.
When the day’ s explorations are done, passengers stow away the parkas, boots, gloves, caps and other gear and don chic casual or informal attire( there are no formal nights).
Most passengers usually head for the Panorama Lounge where you can sit and unwind and here there is a pianist / vocalist for entertainment and staff serve tapas and cocktails( cocktails and wine are complimentary, so you do not have to be signing for them).
Then it is on to a gourmet dinner at the open-seating The Restaurant( where the attentive wait staff serves dishes inspired in the chefs of Relais & Chateaux) and feast on such delights as beef Wellington, rack of lamb and lobster.
After the impeccably served meal, some passengers can head for the cigar lounge or the observation lounge to take in the panoramas of the Arctic and enjoy an after-dinner drink and conversation with new found friends.
