This has been a very busy yet relatively short expedition in Antarctica. It, as always, leaves me with a desire – no, need – to return yet again. The sense of wonderment, enormity, beauty, power, calm, quiet, mind-blowing nature, inner peace, and so much more is just something I cannot get enough of. But before
This is the start of my seventh expedition to Antarctica; brought about by Silversea wanting me to have a “Fly the Drake” experience. Let’s just say my Antarctica “Fly the Drake” Expedition on Silversea’s Silver Endeavour truly started out as an expedition of its own! More importantly, it clearly shows how well Silversea handles things
To “Fly the Drake or Sail the Drake?” That is the question! Let’s try to answer the question, keeping in mind that due to new availability, ultimately, it is a personal choice. But drilling down – rather than jumping to conclusions – I will assist you in making the best choice for you. (And, yes,
I was recently asked by a major travel magazine what I thought were the top cruise lines for an Alaska vacation. It got me thinking…as I do! The question of which are the “best” cruise lines for Alaska really depends on the guest’s desires, as there is a balance between how in-depth they wish to
Goldring Travel loves encouraging its clients to be “Comfortable Being Uncomfortable!” But that does not mean being physically uncomfortable while experiencing new, exotic, locations that challenge and open one’s mind up to truly different cultures, cuisines, breathtaking landscapes, and maybe some exciting wildlife. Travel with Goldring Travel sailing with Silversea for 19 days up the
Finally! Seabourn is changing things up on the culinary front, and in a good way! The Grill by Thomas Keller is being phased out and a new-to-Seabourn concept, Solis, is being introduced. A few weeks ago, Seabourn announced it was changing up its menu in The Restaurant with 140 new dishes. That didn’t mean much
After two days crossing the Labrador Sea on Silversea’s Silver Endeavour we transitioned a bit from an expedition in Greenland to more of an expedition-ish cruise through the Canadian Maritimes. Because this is both a transitional and repositioning expedition/cruise, our time in each port in the Canadian Maritimes is abbreviated because we have long distances
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: A Peregrine Falcon I don’t
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. I do keep in mind that this is a repositioning expedition, a transitional one from expedition to cruise and the last Arctic cruise of the
My time on Explora Journeys’ Explora I hasn’t just been about the ship. It is also about the Journey. And it has been a journey, both with local experiences and, yes, more culinary masteries. In fact, the most incredible dishes and some breathtaking scenery have been part of this Journey. Hverfjall Volcano, Akureyri, Iceland My
