“Crew was really nice and loved to also see the industrial side of Gdansk while going to western platter. The Guide was great and described us the different places and it’s history. I was very impressed as well as from the food and beverages served at the bar. Being in such a ship was an experience of it own and definitely worth it and the time slot in western platter was more than enough.😁 To the overall great experience the live music while going back was very charming.

“Interesting morning out. My husband and I were the only 2 on the tour and although we did have audio explanations in English , sadly our guide looked very dissenterested and bored throughout the whole tour, pointing to the next place to go and not talking.
