Celebrating two seasons of brand-new adventures and remarkable signature journeys, Canada’s leading small-ship expedition operator Adventure Canada is offering intrepid travellers 15% off berth costs when booking any European expedition—and 20% off berth costs when booking two or more European expeditions. Bookings must be made by January 19, 2019.

Ireland Circumnavigation: While circumnavigating Ireland, guests will explore the rarely seen parts of the Emerald Isle—the villages lining the sea and the rugged coastline only accessible from Adventure Canada’s fleet of Zodiacs. Travellers will search for abundant seabirds, and sail along the Dingle Peninsula, considered the most beautiful place on earth by National Geographic. Of course the program also includes the friendly folks, rolling countryside, and charming villages for which Ireland is so famed and adored. (June 9 – 20, 2019. From $5,995 USD per person.)

Scotland Slowly: Like good whisky, Scotland is best savoured slowly. On an eleven-day expedition, wander among Neolithic ruins, explore sea caves and bird cliffs, raise a dram at world-famous distilleries, and learn from Scottish experts. Explore in comfort aboard the Ocean Endeavour and visit historic Glasgow, Pentland, the Western Isles, Firth, Orkney, the Shetland islands, and Aberdeen. June is the breeding season for birds and guests can search for whales on a Zodiac outing. (June 21 – July 1, 2019. From $5,495 USD per person.)

Iceland Circumnavigation: While circling Iceland on the Ocean Endeavour, witness the Earth in action: active volcanoes, emerging islands, lava fields, geysers, and glaciers. Viking descendants live in fishing villages scattered around the coast. Local folk share songs and stories handed down through generations. The landscape is otherworldly. Superb photography, birding, and hiking are a quick Zodiac ride away. Whales ply the north Atlantic waters. (July 5–14, 2019. From $4,495 USD per person.)

In the Wake of the Vikings: Tracing the footsteps of ancient Norse sailors, guests will sail west from Iceland’s capital Reykjavík to Greenland’s rarely seen east coast, a region of glaciers, fjords, icebergs, whales and seabirds. Hugging Greenland’s southern tip, this route will visit colourful villages and be welcomed to the kind of hospitality only the remotest parts of the world provide. While much of Greenland is covered by a large ice cap, the southern region is surprisingly green and lush in the summer months. Highlights include basking in the Unartoq geothermal springs and exploring the ruins of Brattelid, a settlement founded by Erik the Red. (July 14–25, 2019. From $4,995 USD per person.)

Guests aboard all expeditions travel with widely respected authors, naturalists, and culturalists, all handpicked specialists with a love of and an affinity for these parts of the world.
