From the Voyage Log
After last night’s end-of-voyage festivities, we awoke
much too early for our final morning on the Ocean
Atlantic. As the Ocean Atlantic pulled into its anchorage
in Kangerlussuaq, we started the process of leaving
behind the ship and the people we’ve come to know so
well over the past few days.
Our bags were packed and stowed in the corridors,
ready for our early-morning busses and flights back to
Copenhagen, and everywhere in between. After all of
our days immersed in the landscapes and amongst the
wildlife of the Arctic, it was time to return home or to
wherever our life’s journeys bring us.
And so – farewell, adieu, and goodbye. Together we
have visited an incredible and vast wilderness. We have
experienced magnificent mountain vistas, seen icebergs
and glaciers, felt the power of the elements

On behalf of Albatros Expeditions, our
captain and crew, the expedition team, and
everyone else who helped make this
journey a resounding success, it has been a
pleasure travelling with you.
We hope that you will come back and
experience these wonderful places with us
once again!

and seen how quickly they can change. We enjoyed
wonderful food and comfortable surroundings aboard
the Ocean Atlantic. We saw an icy fjord at the end of
the Earth. We have shared unique moments, held
engaging conversations, and laughed together over
beers and coffees. We’ve made new friends and
experienced the power of expeditionary travel.
We hope the expedition team has helped make this the
trip of a lifetime - one that will persist in your memories
for weeks, months, and years, to come. Although we
must say good-bye to these places we have come to
know and love, it is a fond farewell as we are all true
ambassadors for the Arctic and all the beauty it holds.
