Victor looks upon the trip, not as a nice vacation, but as more of a fact-finding mission. He wants to familiarise himself with the latest scientific developments in order to help him build the second monster. Victor, then, has a lot on his mind and so cannot enjoy the journey. In fact, it's a horrible experience for him as he's sunk deep in a dark depression. He's still emotionally torn between completing the second monster or destroying it altogether. And he remembers all too well the sinister threat made against him by the monster if he didn't build him a mate. Victor just wants to get the journey over with as soon as possible and get on with his work.
Henry, on the other hand, enjoys the trip immensely. But then again, he isn't burdened by a seemingly unsolvable moral dilemma. He sees the trip as a great opportunity to engage in learned conversation with men of genius and talent. Victor admits that he would've felt the same way as Henry in his happier days. Henry is, as Victor himself acknowledges, Frankenstein's former self, the eager, inquisitive young scientist bursting with curiosity about the world around him.
