Arctic Safari

A longtime dream came true with the chance to visit Greenland and the Canadian Arctic on a 12-day cruise with Adventure Canada. Our home was the Ocean Endeavour and an amazing vessel for the expedition in and out of the many fjords and ice flows. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the landscape and the people. I am already dreaming of …

Wild Greenland and Canada: Earth, Iron, and Ice

I didn't know what I'd be getting into-- just my dad and me, on a ship together with 180 strangers for 15 days. The itinerary looked like a real adventure: hopping on a charter flight from Toronto to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, and from there exploring majestic fjords, glaciers, and tundra along some of the most remote coastlines in the world. When …

It is here where travelers …

It's one of those magical destinations I never really thought I would visit: THE ARCTIC (with a bonus stop over in Iceland!) Our time aboard the Ocean Endeavor was nothing short but awesome! We learned about the land and the wildlife, such as polar bears, walruses and birds. We had a very good time!

Adventures in Svalbard

Haley and I had the opportunity to travel to the magical land of Svalbard, with a quick stop-over in Norway's lovely capital of Oslo. Svalbard is a place of mystery that draws people in with the lure of Polar Bears, and then blows them away with dramatic and sublime landscapes. We were spoiled-rotten on an 11-day cruise aboard the Sea Spirit. We …

Norway & Svalbard

Highlighting my travels through mainland Norway and the Svalbard archipelago. My first tastes of life above the Arctic circle, shrimp, and a true polar plunge. Nothing could have prepared me for the sheer beauty of this Arctic gem - Svalbard was a dream from which I never wanted to wake.

Our Family Alaska Trip

We'll never forget our family trip to Alaska and all the adventure we enjoyed together. We spent time at Camp Denali and hiking the surrounding area. The boys enjoyed hiking up to the peaks and riding the Alaskan railway to explore the countryside. We covered so much ground and saw a Moose grazing with her calves. Later we viewed the mountain …

Spreading her time between hiking to caves, a camping trip, taking a polar plunge, and sea kayaking in one of the last remaining frontiers, her home-base for her Alaska voyage was the 49-passenger expedition …

Up Close and Personal View of Alaska

This cruise line is unique because it's more intimate than a large cruise line and you have better access to wildlife and nature because its smaller and can navigate into the narrower canals. This allows you to see amazing landscapes and wildlife, learn about Alaskan culture from Alaskans themselves, and meet fellow passengers that you can forge …

The Wet, Wild World of Alaska

Short musings about the fabulous Un-Cruise my husband Richard and I took in Southeast Alaska (booked by our fabulous travel agents, Sue and Robin at Travel Cruise Connections, through Adventure Life!), followed up by a trip to Denali National Park.

Our Alaska Small Ship Adventure

We spent over a week in Alaska going from Sitka to Juneau. Lots of kayaking, icebergs, bears, and so many whales! An incredible group of people aboard ship. They call this a small ship cruise, but it was so much more of an adventure than cruise!

Alaska has a rainforest?

Yes! The largest temperate rainforest in the world. Little did I know that a cruise in Alaska could also be an adventure. Kayaking, camping, hiking, and swimming with icebergs...this is an adventure of a lifetime aboard the Wilderness Explorer.

I don’t have the words to describe it but the last week has been one of the best I can remember. 6 days of adventure in South East Alaska including trekking through lush rain forest, sitting in silence listening to glaciers calving, up early to see the northern lights, kayaking and stupidly swimming in iceberg frozen waters ! (That actually hurt). Animal sightings including black and brown bears, Minke and hundreds of Humpack Whales, porpoises, sea lions, mountain goats, harbour seals, bald eagles, salmon and more birds than I can count. Wonderful friends and connections made. A huge shout out to Trevor and his totally amazing crew on the Admiralty Dream whose energy and enthusiasm made this most incredible experience.

From the initial booking all the way through the trip, this was by far our favorite trip. Small boat travel is the only way to see a location. The excursions were so much more than I could explain. The locations were remote and awesome.
