All prices include flights, lectures,
excursions, meals and drinks. The line said: “From seals and
whales to emperor penguins and breeding pairs of Adélie penguins, these once-in-a-lifetime expedition voyages are planned around the best of the wildlife calendar. “Visits start in November,
reaching Antarctica in time to see penguins courting, and continue into December when penguin chicks begin to hatch. “Excursions are led by members
of the 20-strong onboard expert discovery team comprising naturalists, marine biologists and glaciologists. Between landings, guests can top up their wildlife knowledge during enriching presentations and discussions in the impressive onboard theatre and
dedicated observation deck.”

2 NOVEMBER 2023 29 From powdery slopes to dazzling
lights, Canada’s winters offer thrilling adventures and festive celebrations
Canada is the ultimate playground for snow seekers, offering the thrill of winter sports, dog sledding and hiking against the backdrop of majestic mountains and sparkling lakes.
For clients seeking serenity on their winter holiday, suggest ice skating on Lake Louise, while those who travel to Yukon and the Northwest Territories can expect to be treated to the ethereal spectacle of the Northern Lights painting the sky with an enchanting display of colours and patterns.
Beyond the natural wonders of the rural regions, the cities come alive with festivals, including the Quebec Winter Carnival, the Winterlude festival in Ottawa, and the Festival of Lights at Niagara Falls, where ice sculptures, live music and fireworks form part of the holiday festivities.
“There are many activities in Canadian resorts catering to families and even non-skiers. Compared to Europe, Canada has a longer ski season and its slopes are quieter, providing plenty of space to practise without bumping into people,” says Emma Taylor of The Personal Travel Agents. “Always ask what ski/snowboarding level your clients are to help select the right resort for their ability level”.
