[@joyweidental1227]

Thanks dear Cecilia and Christopher !

[@claudiaacosta3424]

I was getting ready to drink my Peet’s coffee and saw you were doing the same! Great video!

[@deanj3016]

Thank you ceçe!!

[@claudiacsimpson6564]

Hi Cecilia, Your videos and scenery of Longyearbyen are amazing and have inspired us to make the journey there for a few days during our anniversary trip in September. After traveling to more than 65 countries, we are always inspired to visit new places after glimpses of their beauty through the eyes of those who actually live there. In fact, we would love for any helpful hints on exploring the area, so we do not miss those must see sites or hikes which you would recommend. If you are interested and have time, we would love to buy you coffee (and meet Grimm😊.) Thanks for inspiring us to add Svalbard/Longyearbyen to our bucket list. Rob & Claudia Simpson

Cecilia’s ads with Grim are the only ones I don’t skip on YT videos ❤

Grim is a keyboard Master! too cute!!

Same!!

[@lucielariviere489]

He’s an amazing actor ❤😂 🐾

[@victoriajohnson4513]

Cristoffer looks so relaxed in front of the camera now. His personality is shining through 😂

[@emeliereads]

I was gonna comment the same! he looks more and more comfortable in front of the camera

[@jenniferhall4880]

His English seems stronger too ❤

[@Madison.Dances829]

@@jenniferhall4880 That might be why he’s more comfortable in front of the camera! If he wasn’t as confident in his English before I completely understand not wanting to be on camera and having to talk. But his English seems to have improved a lot over the past year or so which makes me happy because we all love seeing more of him! 😄

[@evaseed2861]

Love to see Christpher so happy and talkative. He looks like he is in his element on the boat.

[@eloquentia7207]

Viking genes

[@abigailm9]

Yes, you can tell the boat is his happy place!

[@aileenbell6750]

Yes I thought the same thing. He is so proud of the boat. ❤

[@marywilson1948]

There once was a dog named Grim He rode on a boat but no swim A hike he took to explore awhile And made us all give a smile!!

[@RangerMommy]

so cute

[@i.am.heather]

My Sundays are not the same without seeing Cecelia, Christoffer, and Grim! ❤ Your videos are next level with all of the videography you give us from Svalbard. Tell Christoffer the boat looks amazing and I’m so happy to see him becoming more and more comfortable in front of the camera. Enjoy the rest of your summer; polar night will soon be upon us (secretly my favorite season!).

[@jwatchorn]

I know I missed them last Sunday

[@zamev]

So happy to see that the numbers are creeping up towards the first million. I started following when you barely had 300k subscribers. Now, like i saw in another comment, Grim and Cristoffer feel like family to us.

[@puppy2haley]

Oh, she’s way over a million but you gotta’ include her other social contents. Definitely 1, if not the best, channels on KZbin!! 👍

[@Marty22408]

My Svalbard family is heeeeeeere 😊😊😊 I seriously consider you a part of my family, we hang out every Sunday and my day is always better with you 😊❤❤🐶

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

You're the best! :)

[@sybilkent4913]

Christoffer's always most happiest face when on the boat. Viking:)

[@minime7375]

Since Cecilia intrduced him I keep being reminded of Haesten from “The Last Kingdom”.😁

​@@minime7375YESSSSSS!!!

[@iRon251]

Your NORD VPN ads with Grim are hilarious. I work as a IT security analyst so my coworkers and I are huge fans of Grim!

[@dwilson7857]

You have the only sponsorship info that I actually enjoy watching!!!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@fluttergirl75]

I missed you, Cristoffer, and Grimm. It's really good to see you guys!

[@ddtex4954]

"Maybe something else." I love Cristoffer's way of talking. 😊

[@GouganeBarra-u4t]

I loved seeing Grim in the front of the dinghy. The Norwegian flag on your boat was a nice touch too, I thought. And Christoffer was definitely in his element. We can call him Captain of the boat !! I love his passion for all things nautical.

[@jennandcompany]

Woo hoo! So excited for Cecilia Sunday 🥰 I also love when Grim manages your sponsorship content ❤

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

haha Yay! Thank you!

[@mztweety1374]

Why does Cecilia Sunday sound like a great band name?😂😂

Agreed! Love Sunday mornings with Cecilia ❤

“Are you here for the foot spa?” “Actually, ma’am, I am not.”

Grim is THE cutest dog on the internet. Thanks for sharing him with us!!

[@mackcappel844]

Hands down!

[@jmiranda5466]

Cecilia and Christoffer, thank you for a beautiful start to my Sundays. I’m really enjoying hearing more from Christoffer (no pressure, though). You are both a delight to listen to. And, of course, I love Grim. Thank you 🤗

[@eddiehayes1523]

I love the way you and Christoffer work so well as a team together. May you have many more happy years together. Grim is such a beautiful boy.

[@tinglelingaling6]

I could listen to Christopher talk for hours.He has the most calming voice.

[@jcc6789]

I agree 💙totally chill always

[@vickysmith1435]

Cecilia never just pets Grim. She takes her time and strokes him so lovingly. It is so precious. ❤

[@MarjorieBurns-gu9tf]

I saw Grim on a yahoo article … a dog in the Arctic living his best life. That is so true!!! Grim has a wonderful life and he returns that with bringing everyone all over the world so much joy!!! We all love Grim!!! 🐶

[@susantumblety6003]

Beautifully filmed video Cecilia!!! The camera angles and drone shots are magnificent! Christoffer is talking the most I've ever heard him! His English is so good now!!! He's looks fit. He is so animated when he's In his element! Looks so wonderful!!! Love you guys!!! Cheers from the New Jersey shore beaches!!!! Asbury Park !

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you so much! 😊🩵

[@kirstyhibbert3119]

Seeing Christoffer genuinely happy on the boat is heart warming ❤ really enjoy watching every week xxx

[@Mama_Terri]

I’m a long time viewer and this is absolutely one of the best you’ve done. Enjoy your time on the water.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Wow, thanks! 🙏🏻☀️🙌🏻

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I agree. This video is my #1 favorite in my top 3 favorites of Cecilia’s for sure! 😊

[@Evejackson777.]

I like how grim is like “are we ready yet!!!???” The entire video 😂❤

[@arlener.3349]

I saw the “I’m going to make coffee” coming 😂 Your videos now have me on a oat latte kick. My wife and I are going through oat milk extremely fast now lol.

[@mirthiful1]

Making myself a cup is part of my ritual for watching these. :)

[@joannevenere3552]

There’s just something special about your boat trips. I hv to say, I wish the videos were longer. I could literally watch 2 hours of this. Hoping you are feeling better

[@lorrainemassimo6410]

You are such a hands on active participant in all that you both do…no wonder Christopher loves You so much. A true life partner

[@beachspirit2455]

Such a well made video. You covered all the details and views to make this so enjoyable. I love your commentary - so spontaneous and honest. Have a great trip. Looking forward to your wildlife discoveries.

[@michelle14749]

Your VPN adverts with Grim should win a prize.

[@cindystephens6997]

I love how Christoffer seems so much more comfortable in front of the camera now. Love seeing the preparations for boat season. Can you keep antlers that you find?

[@em-gee]

My sunday redemption ❤🙌

[@lorisullivan2447]

The boat looks great. So clean and organized. Which makes watching your adventures so pleasant. Christopher sounds great. Is it me or has his English improved materially. Sounds great and nice to hear about his work on the boat.

[@GiroChase]

Yay boat season 👏🏻🥰🤗 also, Grim with sunglasses 😂 what a vibe 😍

[@darlenefraser3022]

Grim looks so laid back already, the sunglasses add an air of “cool”!

[@queenofdramatech]

Sunday Svalbard day!!!

[@susanbishop7350]

Christopher! Your English is impressive - so natural. Not so easy to master. Kudos!!

[@judegambling5482]

Christoffer is so happy aboard his boat....like a kid in a lolly shop.

[@ChirpyMike]

Or a Captain on his vessel.

[@yoloswagtag9659]

Dearest Christoffer, the good old evinrud u got on the dingy is actually a Norwegian engine that got moved to the USA 60/70 years ago. Fun fact that is not widely known now a days

[@yanniesays]

Ohmigosh, I cannot get over Grim with the sunglasses basking under the sun!!! Also, I love that you love pink, Cecilia ☺ It's such a pleasant contrast to where you live 💕

[@jonimitchell6962]

Christopher is so quietly competent..very assured.

[@hollylanevintagetreasures]

Yes!!! Been waiting for this video!! Hey Cecilia and Christoffer. Hope you both are doing well!!!

[@Betty-jl5sq]

Love it too. Cecilia, Christoffer and Grim bring me peace every Sunday. Thanks . Don’t change a thing. 🙂

I absolutely love Grim, he is adorable in his new life jacket! ❤

[@MysticMiss7]

Christoffer really comes into his own when on the boat. You can tell it's his passion and he keep that boat pristine! So looking forward to more of these videos and adventures :)

[@oldskull70]

I love your boat trips !!!!!

[@stefaniedaigle7184]

Me getting sea sick just watching the boat rock. I wish I could do boat trips! Beautiful!

[@michadybczak4862]

How nice, you can eat, relax, enjoy the view while the boat is going in the set direction. You can't have it in a car. This time, boat vlog is much more detailed and that's good, because it feels as if we were there with you. Previously everything was disjointed, no continuity. I like that new way of filming trips.

[@tigriss007]

It may have to do with someone getting hurt and wanting to sue someone for their foolishness. So, instead of taking the hit to their pride, they blame someone else....i.e.the Russian company. I don't know if such frivolous law suites exist in European culture or if American frivolity for suing people has spread, but in America, such changes, like boarding up structures, occur due to accidents from unauthorized persons. I'm also in awe of getting sunburned at 10pm.

[@alisaharris6870]

Hello from Texas USA. Love your humor Cecilia!!!

[@gimmeamarg]

It is really interesting that Russia closed off all the buildings….

[@zamev]

One word, "Ukraine."

[@theitchywitch]

I’m enjoying Christofer talking more in the videos. He hardly said anything a couple of years ago.

[@Acapulc941]

It does make my Sunday to spend a bit of it with the three of you. I love how adept Grim is at being a boat dog. He is just awesome, even as he endures his little foot bath. Hugs to the three of you from Texas. Leigh

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

Grim was not letting that little boat leave him. I love the antler.

[@amyg8761]

Gonna like this video but can't actually watch, I'll start feeling sea sick. Love you bye

[@ivystein8999]

Love how unfiltered this one was- like showing the mundane, real parts of a boat trip! ❤❤

[@louisebrislane6607]

This video came in at 11 pm Sunday night for me in Australia & so I thought, what the heck, I will watch it before retiring. I think what you needed was some ginger tea with you or even ginger coffee which is also nice to calm your stomach especially as it was rocking which was making me feel motion sickness watching you go up & down!! At least it is a dark night outside of my house so I will sleep deeper than you - maybe!! I hope as I have a 2 hour eye specialist appointment tomorrow. Wishing you a good week & I hope that your first trip went well!! Also that you caught some fish for one of your meals.

[@katebriggs9301]

I absolutely love your boat! 😎🌲🇺🇸🌲

[@thlm98]

Så himla fantastiskt att se Christoffer blir mer och mer bekväm framför kameran!🎉

[@mirthiful1]

My Swedish lessons are paying off... I understood that before translating it! Woot!

[@CherieW-hk1rw]

BOAT TRIP!! YAHOO!!! So happy to see you all out on the water. Svalbard is SO BEAUTIFUL always, but I really LOVE the views during boat season!!! Thank you Cecilia, Christoffer and Grim, for sharing it with us. Good times!

[@ceezee9179]

Could Grim use a puppy pad on the back of the boat in an emergency if you couldn't go to shore for some reason?

[@judithkonijn8158]

Cecilia, can you take the antlers home if you want? When i was in Longyearbyen i saw whole bunches of them next to houses... What do they do with them?

[@pachamamajeanne]

I love how 6 degrees is shorts weather for Christopher!😂

[@staiain]

Looks so nice to live up there, but as a young (ufør) on welfare, if i am reading the law correctly i wouldn't be allowed to move there even if i had the money :(

[@islandgirl7056]

Your boat is so cozy inside! Lol, I can’t believe Grim sat in the sun with sunglasses for SO LONG! 😂😎

[@barbaraderush3603]

Oh my God I just saw a Grimm are people magazine

[@apt5044]

Has Cristoffer lost weight? Looking trim there. So lovely to hear more from him and your production quality is just so fabulous Cecilia! My Mum has banned me from talking about Svalbard and Grimm. 😂

[@lmb4876]

Cecilia, I am so impressed with your language skills…you have no accent when you speak English….Not sure of your 1st language--is it the same as Christopher’s?…I enjoy your videos ❤..

[@kaclama]

Everyone has an accent.

[@klaire74]

Is breathtaking, even in summer! I am still amazed by the determination of human race to go "where no one has gone before". Yes, for resources, still, the conditions are extrem. We can go there comfortably in these days, but in the prior centuries was different. Was nice to see all of you again, hope you had fun the entire weekend. Thank you for sharing with us everything!♥♥♥

[@catarinaassuncao157]

I'm from Portugal and listening to you say that it is 6 degrees and it's hot cracked me down 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we are under 30 degrees here and melting.....

[@johanna7254]

Thank you for another lovely video Cecilia. Been having a rough week, month, well year in general... your videos always calm me down.

[@terjerendalsvik5461]

woh! one of nicest videos this year! i used to be married and we had a boat! we did a lot of your things,not on Svalbard but in the Oslofjorden! its so many good memories😊😊

[@sandraivanitch7]

Here in the U.S. summer has hit with a vengeance! It's going to be near 100 F today.

[@lookingbehind6335]

It must be scorching there, they are only wearing one shirt. 😂

I really enjoy your channel. My grandfather was from Sweden and my grandmother was from Finland. Listening to you guys talk, brings me back to my childhood. Thank you

[@moonfoxnight1714]

The squeaking from the harbor is driving my brid crazy because she think's it's another bird

[@GouganeBarra-u4t]

I love seaside spots, the water, the seagulls and the boats. My father also loved them, and he used to hang around sea faring areas a lot. I'm always wary of the need for safety while on a boat, because a storm can come suddenly. Good luck on your boating adventures !

[@judithmelanson2460]

Thank you for the boat ride! Grim really enjoys the adventures with you two! Beautiful country!

[@blancacordero3998]

Jeiiii!! New content of my favourite content creator 🥰 I am so happy to be able to second hand experience a dream

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Yay! Thank you! 🙏🏻☀️🙌🏻

[@DK-kg1fe]

Okay I'm sure this is a dumb question, But I will ask it anyway. How do you get video of yourself, for example, when you are getting the dinghy out of the water? Do you get out of the boat first and go set up the camera? And then go back and film you getting the dinghy on to land? Or is that done by a drone that is able to hold still? My curiosity just gets the best of me with these shots. Thank you for all you do in allowing us to enjoy the beauty of your world.

[@deebee.14]

Please give Grim a pay rise. Neither of us wants him to leave for a better payed job 😂 he’s just to darn cute 🥰 i love watching you adventures so thank you for sharing ❤

[@ViciGall]

I just saw a story in the news about Grim. 😂❤

[@ndan3746]

[@christoffersprck4174]

[@maxibradshaw]

Seems like a month since your last video... because I love your content do much❤. "Hello Christoffer and Grimm!" Love seeing more of Christoffer has come a long way with being comfortable of camera!! HOW SWEET IS BABY GRIMM?❤❤❤❤❤ Love from Southwestern Indiana USA 🇺🇸

[@lorih.2241]

Awesome video Cecilia!! So do Christoffer and Grim get seasick? 😊

[@wainber1]

The 22:25 mark features video of an old newspaper clip with “Дружба множит силы” (“Friendship multiplies strength” according to Google Translate). The clip is ironic these days considering how poor diplomatic relations are between the governments of Norway (which administers Svalbard) and Russia.

[@Audrey-v4p]

So fun to watch you start the boat and pull out of the slip, feels like we're on the journey with you, thank you! I think Christoffer's man cave is working out well for him, he's in great spirits here, thank you both!
