  1. Thanks to all! We have done the St. Lawrence trip, and have indeed enjoyed the beautiful Quebec City and briefly Montreal.

     

    Honestly, I'm leaning toward the Silversea trip. Our main goal for this trip is to see nature and not civilization. Also, I'm a bit put off by the SEVEN days at sea out of the 24 on the Seabourn. We've spent 21 days on the Quest on the Antarctic trip, and there just isn't that much to do on sea days.

  2. Hi! I'm polling the audience! Looking at these two cruises for August, 2019:

    and

    https://www.silversea.com/destinations/cruises-arctic-greenland/kangerlussuaq-to-kangerlussuaq-1920.html

    The Silverseas trip seems to have more wilderness...no civilization beyond the small villages and towns here and there. It goes much further north in Greenland and Canada.

    The Seabourn is on our beloved Quest, which took us to Antarctica last year. The Seabourn has longer trip (24 days vs. 16) for similar price, although it does NOT include airfare, so price per day might end up comparable. It does have Reykjavik at the beginning and Quebec City and Montreal at the end, so a bit more civilization.

    Has anyone done either (or both!) cruises? Recommendations, advice, opinions all appreciated!!!!

  5. Also very sorry to hear of the passengers' illness, and praying for the best. This is everyone's nightmare, particularly on a trip like this. I've seen helicopter extractions from a cruise ship off the coast of Denmark on a warm day with calm seas, but this region is a whole 'nother story.

     

    My wife and I will be joining you, florisdekort, but only as far as Buenos Aires. I don't want to take up space on this thread, but what will you be doing in Santiago for the extra time? Please message or email.
