Reviews
Мария и Алексей 30 may
Выражаем благодарность команде теплохода "Александр Великий". Наш отпуск состоялся на 150%.
Красота байкальской природы, традиции и обычаи коренных народов, ответы на многие вопросы - наш гид Анастасия Манькова. Прекрасная эрудиция, обаяние, доброжелательность, юмор и увлеченность своим делом. Зажигательные вечера, викторины, фото и видео репортаж - наш любимый аниматор Андрей. В заключении круиза прекрасный фильм о нашем путешествии.
Маэстро кухни повар Родион, достойно мишленовских звёзд - вкуснейшие, красиво оформленные блюда.
Прохождение льдов в Чивыркуйском заливе, причаливание к берегу, помощь при посадке/высадке с борта теплохода - наш капитан Иван Владимирович с командой.
Душевная атмосфера на борту, интересная программа подарила незабываемые впечатления. Частичка Байкала в нашем сердце.
Наилучшие пожелания компании "Истлэнд" и её сотрудникам, подарившим нам праздник "Пробуждение Байкала"!
