If you've ever taken a cruise before (and if you haven't, you really should), you probably already know that you should expect a certain level of pampering on board. Your meals are prepared for you. Your pajamas are folded, your covers drawn, your room tidied. This being my fourth cruise, I was expecting more of the same, but the crew of the Safari Endeavour blew me away with added surprises and touches of luxury. An average day on board looked like this:
6:30 AM – Early Riser’s Breakfast (an array of pastries, lattes upon demand, fresh fruits)
6.45 AM – Yoga on the Sun Deck
7:30 AM – Breakfast (an array of mouthwatering breakfast items)
8:30 AM – Adventures begin! (Take your pick: kayaking, snorkeling, SUP riding, hiking, Burro Riding, beach combing etc)
12:30 PM – Lunch (an array of mouthwatering lunch items)
1:30 PM – Adventures Resume (Take another pick!)
6:00 PM – Cocktail Hour (Snacks ranging from shrimp to wings to pitas and just about any drink imaginable)
7:00 PM – Dinner (an array of mouthwatering dinner items)
8:30 PM – Lectures begin (We had a Marine Biologist on board who taught us everything we wanted to know and more about the ocean).
At any given time, there were snacks or beverages available. Each passenger received a complimentary massage. We were treated like well-pampered friends who, at the end of the day, were sent off to bed with the promise of sweet dreams and a mint on our pillows.
Erin is such a fabulous resource! She helped us bring our target destinations to life by suggesting activities that match our interests, fabulous lodging and excursion options, and patiently coordinating a seamless experience.

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.

Excellent safari trip with Adventure Life and Albatross Travel. Special shout out to our guides Eric Turasha (Kenya), and Blasi Shirima (Tanzania) from Albatross Travel. Both were world class!!! The trip went off without a hitch; all the camps were amazing…worth mentioning...one of the camps we were going to stay in on the Tanzanian side was damaged by high winds so we ended up in a different camp (Mara under Canvas Camp). Can't say enough good things! A great experience and superb service!!
