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

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

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

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: A Peregrine Falcon  I don’t

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. 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

Aurora Expeditions – Goldring Travel Checks It Out: Part VIII – Reflections

Aurora Expeditions, a two ship expedition company based in Australia, has impressed me in many ways; especially when it comes to the three most vital aspects of a travel experience:  The expedition team, the ship and customer/guest services.  There are other strong points that Aurora puts forth, such as solid cuisine  and acceptable wines included at

Seabourn and “The Thinning of the Herd”

Right up front: A very minor trade paper has spun a rumor that Seabourn and Cunard may be for sale. According to an extremely well-placed source there is no truth to this. If you were to head over to the rumor-monger, “Trade Winds” you can only read the headline and this sentence, “Carnival has denied

Seabourn’s 2022 World Cruise!

As we all sit home craving to travel, Seabourn has announced a number of 2021 and 2022 cruises, including its 2022 World Cruise. And, I am really liking this one because it is very different from the past Seabourn World Cruises. The Seabourn Sojourn will not only visit 72 ports in 28 countries over its

Goldring Travel’s 2020 Culinary & Cultural Cruise (Reboot)

Goldring Travel’s Culinary & Cultural Cruise is always something special and this year’s original version sailing through Greece and Turkey, with special events in Santorini, Greece and Istanbul, Turkey was cancelled by the cruise line due to a delay in the ship’s refitting. But when one door closes another opens and, thus, Goldring Travel is
