Ernest Shackleton placed an ad in 1913 that read: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success." These words had me wondering at a young age: This must be about an amazing part of the world! I have gazed up at the Moai of Easter Island and laughed as the blue-footed boobies of the Galapagos do their mating dance. The polar bears of Svalbard touched my heart, as well as those of the High Canadian Arctic and their cousins, the Alaskan Grizzly. I can assure you that it is worth crossing the Drake in order to have a colony of thousands of penguins surrounding you as far as the eye can see. In over 25 years, I've shared my experiences and wonders of the world by crafting expedition cruise itineraries. Time has granted me a deep understanding of the call to the unknown; giving me the tools to provide you with perfect guidance when planning the life-changing experience that is expedition cruising. What I will share with you is the wide range of options in ships, destinations with onboard naturalist/wildlife experts. Also, an expedition cruise is a very fluid experience that is dependent on the weather and wildlife. Thus, the itinerary can change with little notice. Flexibility is key. Expedition cruising is all about the destination and your experiences at the destination. A lifetime of memories await! Let's talk soon.
