Our Arctic cruise itinerary has been flexible, adjusting due to rapidly changing ice conditions. We end up with a couple of extra days at sea as we navigate the ice filled waters of the Davis Strait. Our onboard staff seem to have a limitless host of activities to keep us entertained. For Canada Day, they host an onboard marathon, complete with 26 laps around the ship.
We learn print making from Andrew Qappik, designer of the Nunavut flag and coat of arms. In the evening, we have a Disco party and a chocolate buffet (does it get any better?).
A few days later we celebrate the 4th of July with equal style including a sing along and shipboard parade.
Then, of course, there is the quintessential "polar plunge". I was highly tempted to skip this crazy form of "entertainment", but I knew I'd regret it later. The water is chilling. The staff there to assist me say they didn't even see me hit the water as I bounded out so quickly.
Of course, anytime the onboard activities don't appeal, I just head outside. The views never get dull!

Clara and Rhenee were gracious and available. Phone contact is so important to answer questions and discuss all aspects of trip. If not immediately available they scheduled a time to speak.
They were knowledgeable, honest, realistic and very friendly. They are both very professional and take their role seriously.

The ability (of Kassandra) to tailor a guided trip to my exact preferences is very valuable to me, as well as the ability (of Kassandra) to provide expert guidance on destinations and travel dates. I also appreciate the ability of the backup staff (Maria Ignacio, Exito Travel) to coordinate all the details to make the travel logistics easy for the customer.

Our Costa Rica trip was amazing! Kassandra planned everything and the excursions, hotels, overall organization were outstanding. Everything worked out smoothly, the excursions guides were knowledgeable allowing us to see so much of the fauna and flora of the country. The hotels were great as well, all in fantastic locations and with beautiful views.
