THE SMALL SHIP CRUISING DIFFERENCE

Adventure Canada is celebrating 25 years of adventure,

taking our treasured adventurers to the best of the natural

world using the comfort of small ships specically designed

for expedition travel to faraway places. Here are some

reasons why we love small ship expedition cruising so much:

1) Up-Close Encounters: Because of their small turning

radius and maneuverability, small ships can access narrow

rivers, secluded coves and navigate through ice and remote

places inaccessible to bigger ships. Its in these areas where

nature and culture are at their best.

2) Small Groups: With small ships come small groups, fast

transfers to and from shore, and only the best seats in the

house! This means more time to experience the destination.

It also means exible itineraries and being able to launch a

Zodiac in minutes if something interesting is spotted, or tostay longer admiring a pod of whales, for example.

3) Like-Minded Travelling

Companions: Of course everyone

has dierent reasons for travelling.

However over the years weve foundone common element among our

guests: a thirst for knowledge and

authentic experience. Many of our

guests form life-long friendships (and

even some marriages), and our trips

are often the site of reunions for

people from all over the world.

4) On-Board Experience: In additionto a full on-board presentation and

entertainment schedule, we oer

a combination of lively shipboard

activities. Our guests choose what

elements of the program they want to

participate in (or not) and we always

provide several options.

5) Authenticity: Forget casinos, multiple

bars and formal dinners. Small shipcruising is about experiencing the

destination up-close with the help of

experienced naturalists, historians,

photographers and expedition leaders.

And with Adventure Canada, theres

always a strong emphasis on fun!

SEA ADVENTURER:

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Adventure Canada has been sailing

aboard the Sea Adventurerfor four

seasons now, and each summer when

we rst step on the gangway, its like

coming home. Were welcomed by

the ship crews friendly and familiar

facesthe seamen helping board

the Zodiacs, the friendly hotel stawho greet us each morning and of

course our wonderful Captain. With

every expedition we take, a tight-knit

shipboard community is formed among

the maximum 200 guests and crew.

The relaxed, casual feeling on-board,

coupled with open meal seating plans,

ample deck space and the open bridge

policy breeds a strong camaraderienot only between the passengers and

sta, but with the ships crew as well.

This type of travel will change your

perspective and form many long-lasting

friendships.

LIFE ON-BOARD

Travelling with Adventure Canada is

unlike any other travel experience. Ouronboard programming makes us unique,

and keeps our guests coming back!

Our expeditions are educational with

knowledgeable sta and engaging

presentations. But were equally proud

of our fun events such as our trivia

nights, evening concerts, sing-a-longs,

theme dinners and dances! We stronglybelieve having fun is contagious.

Our resource sta members are expert

in their respective elds, but we value

their people skills just as highly; theyre

all engaging, approachable and fun

loving.

On average we hold three to four

presentations a day in addition to our

planned excursions. Professional sta

members host a variety of workshops,from photography seminars to print

making to Inuktitut lessons.

Our close relationships with local

people in the regions we visit have a

powerful eect on our passengers. We

travel with local Inuit guides when in the

Arctic, Ecuadorians when in Galapagos

and Newfoundlanders when on theRock.

We are grateful to work alongside

so many talented individuals and

have them invite us into their home

territory. The interaction doesnt end

with our onboard guides; we also invite

community members onboard the ship

to give us an introduction to their home

and enjoy time with us.

In 2013 we will be aboard the Sea

Adventurer, a wonderful ship designed

for passenger comfort. The hardworking

crew greatly enriches our onboard

experience. From the Captain and his

ocers, to the engine team, to the

stewards who service your cabin, our

crew understand expedition travel, and

give their all to make your adventureperfect.

ACTIVITY LEVEL

Adventure Canada expeditions are intended for people in

reasonably good health. Zodiac cruises and transfer timescan be lengthy. There are no elevators on board ship, andyou must be able to climb stairs between decks. You mustalso be able to climb the external gangway stairs to transferbetween the ship and the zodiacs. Our guides and ship creware available to assist you in and out of the Zodiacs, both onshore and at the gangway. Adventure Canada expeditionsmay involve extensive walking in variable weather oversometimes hilly, uneven terrain. Wherever possible onshore excursions, we break into smaller, guided groupsaccording to interest and physical ability. This may meanone small group going off on a strenuous, two hour hike onsteep terrain, while another explores the area in and around

the landing beach, keeping to relatively level terrain andshort distances. Generally speaking, once a few people areready to return to the ship, the Zodiacs are usually availableto take you back at the time of your choosing.

ZODIAC CRAFT

Zodiacs are the favoured means of transportation inthe Arctic for all our expeditions and, indeed, wherever

shallow waters and beaches ring the shoreline. Theyare stable, versatile craft which cruise at an approximate

speed of four knots, and in windy weather can make forrather splashy rides. We therefore recommend wearingwet weather gear for Zodiac transfers. Life preserversare absolutely compulsory. Zodiac landings will generallyentail disembarking onto rocky or gravelly beaches. Thebeach landings may be wet, meaning that there may besome spray en route to shore, and that you may have tostep into water up to 25 cm/10 inches deep. Rubber bootsare highly recommended.

basic health needs. If you require specic medications,please ensure that you bring a supply adequate to lastyou for the duration of the journey. Any applicable fee formedical services rendered or medicines supplied will bedebited from your account.
