Photography cruise sponsored by Kodak, Hasselblad, Photogenic Machine and Lenzart Color Lab

"Just a word of sincere thanks to you all for helping the photographers group have such a great time. As a first-time participant, I couldn't be happier about the trip and the experience! I can see why people return year after year. You make everyone feel at home and have a lot of patience."

- Mindy Hesslink

"Although it was like "camping" at sea, it was so enjoyable because of you, your crew, and other fun-loving passengers. The food and the view were wonderful, too!"

"Great trip! We'll probably do a repeat . . . " (They did! Thee times.)

"Each cruise [group took three trips of differing length] has been a different but unique experience depending on the captain, crew and of course the weather! No matter the experience all have been outstanding and great learning experiences for all. Capt. Ray and the Mercantile and crew have been very enthusiastic and accommodating to a bunch of teenagers and dads."
