The trip itself is amazing, lots to see and do. The only downside is that it is designed strictly for russian people. The guide spoke only russian, not a word in english and out of 38 russians on board not one spoke or wanted to speak to translate 2-3 words for us. We had no idea where we were going, for how long and what we can see/do there. There was one thai guy on board who was very nice and spoke some english but he had other things to do such as arrange things with locals in ports or at the hotel. He was very nice and tried his best to accomodate us but other than that …
Anyway, I totally recommend the trip, it is well organized and the islands are amazing, especially if you are travelling as a group. We are a couple and had a great time anyway just between us two. The russians are very cold people, they didn’t speak to themselves, no wonder they ignored us completely. There was no joy on the boat, no conversation, only straight faces. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the trip itself.
