This evening we enjoy a unique dining experience in the beautifully decorated Officers’ Mess at Old Fort Henry. This special Holiday Candlelight Dinner has become a Kingston tradition of the season.

Steeped in history and charm, lights, decorations, and snow create an enchanting setting like no other within Old Quebec transforming it into a real Christmas village, just like out of Charles Dickens’s novel - A Christmas Carol. On arrival we visit the Port Market. Experience the authentic old-world charm of a German Christmas Market, complete with timber kiosks, in the heart of Old Québec. Enjoy a unique and friendly atmosphere, beautiful decorations, a great selection of delicious products, exquisite Christmas gifts and so much more. As darkness falls, a step on guide joins us for a tour of the Lights. And tonight, a special dining experience! The historic Maison Jacquet, one of the largest houses in upper-town in its day and the oldest in Quebec, was built in 1675-76. The site was granted to François Jacquet on November 30, 1674 by the nuns of the neighboring Ursuline Convent. Its thick walls, solid joints, marvelous wainscoting and recessed cupboards are characteristic of the houses constructed during that period. Though it is contradicted by history, the myth persists that General Montcalm also lived and died in this famous house. Since 1966, it has housed the restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens, internationally known for its fine cuisine. (B,D)

The main port and capital city, Oranjestad, is a maze of Dutch-colonial architecture painted in a palette of Caribbean pastels. There are some historic sites of note and myriad shops, from boutiques to megastores, selling all sorts of keepsakes, with jewelry and gold being popular items—in fact, gold was mined here in the 19th century. In Oranjestad and along the beaches you’ll also find a treasure trove of excellent seafood restaurants, while farther afield are lighthouses, gold mine ruins and natural wonders that reflect the rugged appeal of Aruba.

Costa Rica - A Land of Wonder Holiday

The Climate of Costa Rica is very pleasant all year round. Although the different Mountain Ranges give way to Tropical Rainforests which give way to beautiful beaches, it is generally a Tropical Climate with a very consistent 22° C average temperature. Costa Rica’s main industry is Tourism and as such you will find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere through-out the Country. We have included an average of 2 meals per day, with some of the meals being served at the resorts you are staying while others will be served at independent restaurants. Good hearty meals that are typically Caribbean featuring a lot of rice, beans, chicken and fish.

This charming little country can be found in Central America, just north of the country of Panama. Although it is only 200 miles from Pacific to Caribbean across, this lush & tropical country is full of incredible plant and animal life, making it truly one of the very best places to explore nature. Here you will find an average 234.8 species of plants, 16.9 bird species and 4.6 mammal species in an average 1,000km² As a people, the Costa Ricans love their natural habitat and have put in place incredible measures to protect this wonderful environment! Well over 25% of the Country has been designated as either National Parks or Conservation areas. This small country also features three main Mountain Ranges; the Guanacaste Mountain Range, Central Mountain Range and Talamanca Mountain Range with some of some of their mountains rising more than 12,000 ft in height! As part of the Ring of Fire, many of these mountains exist due to the large number of active volcanos such as Arenal, Irazu and Turrialba, an incredible 112 sites through-out the country.

With Costa Rica being such a small country, you will never travel far before seeing some incredible sights. Our itinerary has been built so that you will stay at each hotel a minimum of two nights, allowing you the chance to truly explore Costa Rica!

Day 3 Muncho Lake, BC

We gradually leave southern civilization behind as we travel along the highway through Fort St. John and Fort Nelson to Muncho Lake. The Alaska Highway was a monumental project started during the height of World War ll fearing impending attack.

Our journey continues north through the mountainous region by Muncho Lake Provincial Park. (B)

Day 4 Whitehorse, YK

This morning there will be time for a dip in the naturally heated waters of Laird Hot Springs before continuing to Watson Lake, an important part of the Alaska Highway. Just north of here was where the construction crews from the last northern section met the crews from the last southern section to complete the legs of the highway. Another of Watson Lake’s claim to fame is the unique Signpost Forest. Bring a sign from your home

town if you like and add it to the “forest”! We continue to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory, situated on the mighty Yukon River where Sternwheelers once plied the route to the gold creeks and fields of Dawson City. (B)

2016 Tour Catalogue

UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park; protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals living in concert with an ever-changing glacial landscape. How does it feel when a monumental chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder! The impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. You hold your breath as you catch the moment on film! Then you wait for it all to happen again. And it does! Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anyplace else in the world. The MS Zaandam will be in the bay from 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. for your viewing and photography pleasure. (B,L,D)

Day 15 Haines/Skagway, AK

Day 18 Cruising the Inside Passage

Today you will want to take advantage of the many ship board amenities, while cruising through the scenic Inside Passage. The fabled Inside Passage is one of the most scenic sea-lanes in the world, and one of the few where deep-draft vessels can sail close to steep mountain walls. The scenery is unbelievable, with forests in a hundred shades of green, tumbling turquoise glaciers, and evocative towns loaded with history, culture and adventure. With most of Southeast Alaska accessible only by boat or plane, the Inside Passage is a lifeline to the outside world. Once inside the shelter of Vancouver Island, it is a good time to keep your eyes looking for Orca Whales that can often be seen breaching out of the water. (B,L,D)
