The Solway Voyager was an absolute beauty and the crew was amazing. Arni was an awesome captain and the rest of the crew (Alex, Lya, Oden, Anna) were all amazing too. The volis (Ines and Aurelia) were also great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hoping to do the Solway again with friends
