Absolutely fantastic adventure. Whale watching on the board of OCEAN DIAMOND is the unbelievable experience and would definitely recommend to anyone. We did the tour in March and were not guaranteed that whales will show up, however we were treated to an awesome show of 5 humpbacks surfacing and diving very close to us. This was an awesome sight...The guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling in Iceland. It definitely is a must!

Northern Lights and Whale Watching Tour – the most exciting experience My impressions after this amazing tour are the best possible. The point is that on this tour neither northern lights nor whales can be guaranteed. However, we were fantastically fortunate to see both on our tour. The scenery is unbelievable. Besides, the guide provided a lot of information – how the northern lights happen, and about the local whale types, feeding peculiarities and a lot of other. All in all, everything was as promised by the tour company Nordic Saga Tours with which we booked this tour. We will contact them again before our next tour. Alan T, Austria – Alan T, Austria -

We booked the double trip of whale watching and northern lights. Every minute of the trip was a brilliant experience. Unfortunately, no whales showed up but the many dolphins greeted us and it was amazing. Overall the sea trip was a very good experience and would love to do again. The northern lights trip with guide Maria was absolutely amazing! She made all the experience so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this trip. Don't forget warm clothes! Thank you, Nordic Saga Tours for all the tips we received before the trip. They were very useful! Tom T, Houston – Tom T, Houston -

This tour was recommended to me by a friend who booked this tour via Nordic Saga Tours last year and I was very happy with all he got. The highlight of the trip was the whale watching. The guide and the boat captain were so knowledgeable and eager to show us the whales . We had brought lots of warm clothes, but they also provided special "boiler suits" which were fantastically warm and really make a difference. The boat trip was unforgettable. The Northern Lights watching was also fantastic. We were blessed as the lights were showing every night. Totally amazing tour! Lina Ozi, Turkey – Lina Ozi, Turkey -

Dora handled everything superbly on the USA end. Intercontinental Hotel in Moscow was excellent. My single room in the Nevsky Forum was cramped. Will highly recommend East-West tours to anyone considering Russia. – Mahvash Van Camp -

Dear Susie, Our cruise was wonderful--I could wheel my cousin in the wheelchair all over and down the cargo ramp to shop at all stops of an hour or more--the Norwegian shop owners were so accommodating (one moved sweater shelves so we could enter through the store room--no steps--)--some just came and helped us over the highest thresholds and steps--several times we hired a handicap van and my cousin was wheeled right up into it from the back and the drivers stayed with us for where ever we wanted to go sight see or shop and then delivered us to the ship!! We heard a great concert one night at midnight-- It was this cousins' (EM) first trip out of the country and she thought is was great!! (Heaven, in fact, as she said)--my sister and I
