What a great trip. We met the bus at Place des Armes. It was well organised. The bus had no toilet but we stopped after about 90 minutes for a toilet break and purchased eats and drinks. The journey itself was very interesting. The architecture is so different from the UK but attractive. Boarding was efficiently done. We went on the large ship as I was keen to take pictures . We saw Minkie whales and also Beluga whales, absolutely amazing and fascinating. Grey seals and sea birds. It was a real treat. You could buy food and drinks on board and good toilet facilities. All the staff were helpful. It was a long day, taking about 10 hours in total, about 6.5 on the bus. Great value. We will do it again but use the zodiac option next
