I got mine repaid about a year ago when I realised I wouldn’t have time to use it before expiry. My travel agent sorted it without any problem and it was repaid to my account fairly promptly. Good luck. Edited - I bought it onboard in December 2019.

Agreed, I wouldn’t spend hours on a bus to get there. We sailed right to the village.

Price.

I heard it’s the third attack in three weeks there.

Fantastic photos thank you

Still haven’t been to Lofoten. One day…

Get up early/have a later dinner. The sail ins can be 2 hrs each way up the main fjords to the villages of day Loen and Skjolden and are well worth it if the weather is good (sometimes even if not as there will be misty mountains and fresh air). In summer it should be light.

We did an independent private death in paradise tour in Guadeloupe. Fab. We were on seabourn. Went to Catherine’s bar, the beaches, the harbour, police station, church, the botanical gardens etc. Also to longueteau rum distillery and the National park

That’s right - gorgeous white wooden houses, cobbled streets and flowers right up from where the ship usually docks. There’s also a canning museum which is meant to be better than it sounds but haven’t been in around 5 visits! There are also boats that you can DIY to Pulpit Rock but I think the best views are a long land trip/hiking rather than sailing and seeing it from the base and there generally isn’t sufficient time to guarantee being back. We’ve been to these places summer and winter, so any questions please ask. There’s a gorgeous sail in to Olden (Loen) so be up early. it’s a pity you don’t get to geiranger. Flam and eidfjord but perhaps there might be trips to these fjord locations. We’ve done rail trips, kayaked in the fjords and hiked from these.

Alesund - nice art nouveau buildings in town, walk up askla hill for amazing views over the town and islands. DIY Tromso. - so much to do in town. Have a beer at Mac brewery pub, old boat harbour, take a bus across to the cable car and get amazing views, walk back to the Arctic cathedral then bus back. Loen - take loen skylift up the mountain for walks, great views, cafe. Olden has pleasant walks too Stavanger - old cathedral, lake etc.

Congratulations!

We did this on Sojourn in 2017. Wrangell -potter around, some First Nation buildings (I think), unspoiled town, walk up the forested hill for great views and along the coast to see petroglyphs on the shore. Alert Bay - brilliant group of totems in the town. Booked an independent whale watch trip on a small fast boat and it was great. Saw breaching humpbacks. Much less crowded than the seabourn zodiacs. Prince Rupert - small marina with cafes where you dock. Town ok. Visited an interesting museum with First Nation artefacts. Got a taxi (difficult to find) to an area where we were hoping to see bears. Can’t recall the name but had a nice walk through a reserve in the rain.

Phew. Glad you are getting a good rest now.

The triple lock should help 😁

Probably because you’d already entered chile and Easter island is Chilean so already had the entry stamp.

That’s ok but I don’t pay budget prices to sale on Aurora (comparatively).

Thank you to sunviking and Flamin_June for your very helpful replies. I will get some quotes and report back.

Having reached around 180 sailed days we are considering cashing in the free one week cruise option. We were hanging on for the better value two week one but may never get there now as we sail Seabourn on fewer occasions than before. The question is what do we have to do? I understand the free nights might possibly need to be at the same or lower average cost than the sailed days? How do you know what value this is? Do we contact seabourn club or is it through a travel agent? If a cruise has free flights as part of an offer, would we be eligible? Thank you

Snap! First seabourn cruise was on spirit. But some nine years before that we did two round the world trips. This was our first proper stop ex uk. Happy memories

Did you go?

Better to take the some 5 hour flight out from Santiago and spend some time on Easter Island. We stayed five nights. Plenty to see. Back in the early 2000s there was a French guy from Normandy running a great French restaurant in Hanga Roa.

None

Definitely boarded in Monaco before and got off later to have a walk round

University of York so had a few years there 😁

Only Bora Bora left on my list there Fletcher 😁
