To the High North! Nature had finally awakened in Europe, while the Anne-Margaretha was sailing towards the Arctic, and a different kind of Springtime.

While many are fully booked … people are signing up on a waiting list, just in case a spot opens up. Still some weeks away… Before the Anne-Margaretha leaves the Netherlands once […]
