Its been just on a week since we got back from our Arctic journey and many of you missed our 2nd Polar Bear sighting, so here it is - courtesy of Silverseas videographer!
For everyone following along at home, we were lucky enough to see this amazing animal last night from our ship!

Strokkur is the most famous geyser in Iceland. It erupts every few minutes. In the first phase of the eruption, a water dome forms. It is Iceland's most famous geyser, erupting about every 4–8 minutes 15 – 20 m high!!

Vienna
VIENNA - Site Inspection update...
The Luxury Collection Imperial Hotel Vienna was the inspiration for the name of our ‘Imperial Class’ category on Eastern Europe by Private Train.
Classic European hospitality in a 19th Century former royal palace which is tastefully furnished with precious, authentic antiques, walls cocooned in jewel-toned silk, and bathrooms made of marble, this hotel stay was a highlight of my trip so far! - Dan
WARSAW
WARSAW - Site inspection update....
Europe has many beautiful squares but my favourite is undoubtedly in Warsaw.
Bombed to the ground during the 2nd World War it has been painstakingly rebuilt to its former glory. On Eastern Europe by Private Train in 2019 we have a free afternoon in Warsaw and I’m sure many of our guests will be found here enjoying the atmosphere. - Dan
Such a lovely surprise for passenger Di Finch whose daughters surprised her for her birthday by flying in to New York all the way from Australia. Her reaction is priceless. ❤️ Happy birthday Di.
