Silversea’s Silver Endeavour Arctic Expedition (Iceland, Eastern Greenland, Canadian Maritimes, and New York City): Goldring Travel’s Onboard! – Part V (Sea Days and the Ship)

Now having spent over a week on Silversea’s Silver Endeavour, and two sea days before reaching Newfoundland, Canada, this is a good time to discuss the ship itself, as well as Silversea’s service and cuisine. But before I do that I need to give props to our very popular stowaway:

Silversea’s Silver Endeavour Arctic Expedition (Iceland, Eastern Greenland, Canadian Maritimes, and New York City): Goldring Travel’s Onboard! – Part IV (Prince Christian Sund, Aappilattoq, Nanortalik, Uunartoq Island, Qaqortoq, and Hvalsey, Greenland)

My expedition on Silversea’s Silver Endeavour continues to be a delight onboard the ship and worthwhile and enjoyable on shore, but not necessarily the most “expedition” experience I have had.

Crystal Cruises – How Shiny is the NEW Crystal…So Far?

I know I am an optimistic skeptic, but it is with good reason. The New Crystal Cruises is a shiny example of why. Crystal loyalists have been, to my mind, overly enthusiastic about the line’s sort of rebirth.  And I have been concerned not only about the condition of the

The Maiden of a New Travel Brand: Explora Journeys…and The Maiden Voyage of Explora I – Part II (A Journey Through the Culinary Experiences)

On Explora Journeys’ Explora I there are no dining, but rather culinary, experiences. There simply is no other ship that compares when it comes to diversity of flavors, cuisines, and flare.  I know this sounds like hyperbole, but it isn’t.   It is about the highest quality ingredients being prepared with
