In eastern Croatia lies the charming city of Vukovar, Croatia's largest river port situated at the confluence of the Vuka and the Danube Rivers. You will see monuments to Croatia's struggle for independence, like Ovcara Memorial & Cemetery, on the Yugoslav Civil War, or take a wine-tasting excursion to Ilok. Then, depart for Serbia's historic Novi Sad, where you'll see the dauntless and impenetrable Petrovaradin Fortress. Vukovar is visited on cruises of the lower (eastern) Danube River and some of our longest river cruises like the journey from Prague to Bucharest over 22 days!

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!!
