    Breathtaking places and views, the only pity is that the boat wasn't described and it turned out to be a very large, cruise-style boat. This offers more possibilities on one hand (bar, restrooms, etc.) but greatly reduces boarding and disembarking times, considering the very high number of people. Overall, a beautiful experience

    Way too many people were allowed on this ship. We had to fight for a spot. Avoid it!
