Beautiful feathers on a Frigate Bird.

Wanted to have the best possible experience with the best possible access and best possible tools. The Endeavor II and her crew and staff delivered in all regards. I will remember every exciting moment of this journey. As a more than casual photographer, this was an unrivaled opportunity to test my skills under a wide range of conditions with a huge number of subjects. I ordered canvas prints of several photos before I left the ship!

The ship was attractive, without being too fancy.

The crew was efficient without interfering with our fun.

Cabin Review

Cabin b

Remarkably roomy, well organized and efficient. Shower was quite good - lots of hot water which was nice after a couple of hours in the water. The beds are very comfy - akin to our memory-foam bed at home. Our steward was very efficient and friendly.
