Style Counsel – Whether you go on holiday in search of adventure or to be pampered, or just to relax while the kids are having fun, there’s a cruise to suit.
ADVENTURE HOLIDAYS
So you think cruising is for softies? For folk to spend idle days at sea? Well maybe it was in the past but cruising 21st-century style can be packed with adventure, visiting places it’s hard to reach on a land-based holiday, if that’s what floats your boat.
You can get close to wildlife in the Galapagos, discover remote communities in Greenland and the Falklands, spot polar bears in the Arctic, get your chills in Antarctica, sailing past icebergs as big as houses, walking through penguin colonies, looking out for passing whales.
You can cruise the challenging Northwest Passage between Greenland and Canada, sail around Borneo or the Kimberley in Australia, or venture into the Russian Far East. Or take a voyage to Alaska for fun activities such as zip-wiring, hiking on glaciers, bear or whale-watching expeditions.
Alaska aside, these cruises are a real adventure – trips ashore are made in inflatable zodaics, in the polar regions you’ll need wellies, woollies and gloves, you’ll be cruising through ice – and a great way to learn as well, as expedition cruises have biologists, geologists and naturalists on board to talk about the flora and fauna of the places being visited.
