I had a fantastic time! The crew and Sven himself are excellent. The communal kitchen is a great place to meet people and has everything you need. On the last day of my stay, Sven prepared a whole salmon for everyone, and a crew member baked delicious cookies. What an amazing atmosphere... I would always go back there. Many thanks to the crew and Sven!
