Dear Emma, We simply cannot express in words the thanks of the Hodgson family for our 6 days on the Emma Jane. Everything was perfect - especially our crew who seemed to become part of the family and made every day a different experience. This morning we received a card (of leaping dolphins) written on by all the family. Perhaps Poppy's words to Grandma and Grandpa say it all "I loved this trip so much! I hope you had as much fun as I did". The cry goes out "Where next?" but at our age this is probably an impossible dream. However , you never know and it would be lovely to think that the Barlow family had something else it might offer us. It has been a pleasure to meet you, With our best wishes, Michael and Nancy and the Hodgson family

Our expectations were high - they were comfortably exceeded by every aspect of the cruise: the ship (it's more than a boat), the delightful and most efficient team of four forming the crew, the accommodation and the fantastic food. The scenery and the wildlife were amazing. Not part of the offer but how else would you see a Minke Whale breaching several times within 100 metres of the ship?
