WINNER OF A CRUISE TO ICELAND AND GREENLAND

COMPLIMENTS OF ADVENTURE CANADA

I was very excited to be the lucky winner of Dreamscapes Travel & Lifestyle Magazine’s contest to sail with Adventure Canada from Iceland to Greenland this past summer. My outdoor-loving 27-year-old daughter was thrilled to join me on this adventure cruise. The ship’s crew treated all the passengers with utmost care and attention. The Adventure Canada team made every minute aboard and ashore a pleasure! All of the excursions were so well-planned and executed. Some of the memories of the trip-of-a-lifetime include: the first sight of the coast of Greenland from the deck of the Ocean Endeavour; gliding past massive icebergs in Prince Christian Sound; kayaking up to the face of an ancient glacier as it slides into the sea; cycling among the multicoloured buildings in the communities of Qaqortoq and Nuuk; learning about Greenland’s history, geology and wildlife from on-board experts; the “polar plunge” on the last day of the voyage. Most of all, I was struck by the raw beauty of the rock and ice and have a new respect for the Inuit and Vikings who carved a living out of this forbidding land over the centuries.
