When you travel the globe, it opens you mind and heart and gives you a new understanding of people and cultures.  When you explore cultures and traditions you expand your imagination.  You may even start a new tradition of your own.  It also has you dreaming of all the places you may want to go to, and you know something…. We are going to swing that door wide open for you to peak through it……because there is one thing no one can take away from you…your Dreams and we want you to Dream and Dream Big.  that’s what I do …I help make your travel dreams come true.

So many of us say I have 10 days’ vacation, so I am going to cram as many places in…in that short time.  If you try to get 6 countries and 12 cities in that short amount of time…yes, you see it…but do you really.  Some of the best things happen when you slow down and enjoy the place you are in.  The food the people the location itself.  I will give you an example.  My husband and I went on a cruise around the British Isle.  We went to England/Southern Ireland/Wales/Northern Ireland and Scotland.  We visited several cities in each area.  However, when we got to Wales, we said. Let’s just walk around soak up the local atmosphere maybe stop in to a pub and grab a pint.  It was one of our best memories.  Because when we stopped in at the pub…the locals heard there were Americans in there…they came in and grabbed a pint and we were all chatting and exchanging stories.

Hurtigruten has 144 expedition cruises. I won’t be able to talk about all 144 but I will be able to give you a nice taste of what you can see and do.

Few voyages capture the imagination quite like the Northwest Passage. Spanning almost 1,700 nautical miles from Canada’s Baffin Island in the east, to Alaska’s Beaufort Sea in the west, traversing this isolated and wild sea route is an adventure like no other. It’s only possible to sail the Northwest Passage during the brief summer of just a few weeks when the ice conditions become more favorable.
