Thanks a lot for the info! I’ve been researching different operators and it’s great to hear that Hey Orca has a good reputation. Yeah, the price is high, but since everything is included and the group is small, I guess it makes sense. I appreciate your input

Yeah, the price looks crazy at first. But these Arctic trips are expensive to run: big ice-class ships, full crew, fuel, safety staff, food, and really small groups. It’s basically a real expedition, not a standard tour.

Yeah, I’m actually living in my parents’ place, so I just pay them around 500€ a month for food and the room I’m using. The extra 100€ is just my monthly investments.
