Seals, Seabirds and a Legacy of Sorrow: Sea of Okhotsk

“We had a fantastic time”

“We had a fantastic time on the Spirit of Enderby, of course! The ship is so comfortable and our cabin (327) was ideally located in a quiet corner on Main Deck, but still so accessible to the loo and showers, dining area and lecture room. Rodney and his staff really took a lot of care in ensuring that the passengers had a great experience – the zodiac trips were exciting, the lectures were most interesting, food was great, and champagne and chocolates were well received! It was also a very nice touch for the staff to put together a CD of photos for passengers to keep, as not all of us have Super-duper cameras! We were able to see some very special things, such as the countless Ribbon Seals laying on sea ice at the Shantar Archipelago, the Stellar Sea Lions on Iony Island, the swarming flocks of auklets, the thousands of other sea-birds including untold numbers of Stellar Sea Eagles, puffins, guillemots, etc etc etc I especially enjoyed the visits to Okhotsk and Magadan, where we were able to get a cultural taste of the Russian Far East. ”
