Day 2Embarkation Day

This morning, enjoy breakfast and check-out. Please ensure your cabin luggage is fitted with cabin tags clearly labelled with your name and cabin number. Take your cabin luggage to hotel reception, prior to, or at check-out.

Here, towering granite cliffs rise dramatically from the sea while countless waterfalls cascade from hanging valleys carved by millennia of glaciation.

In the evening of day 10, enjoy the Captain’s Cocktail Party and Farewell Dinner to celebrate the end of a memorable adventure in this magical part of the world.
