Inspired by the success of the past two seasons and in response to high guest demand for the region, ultra-luxury cruise line Seabourn will offer a line up of 11-, 12- and 14-day Alaska and British Columbia cruises onboard Seabourn Sojourn in 2019.

A potpourri of trees blends perfectly with traditional decades-old houses and a modern block that should never have got planning permission (by contrast, Toronto’s even-younger skyrises are up there with the best architectural shapes anywhere). People from all over the world seem to live in harmony here. Blue plastic litter bins do not exactly blend in, but they are not out of place in front of a couture house offering all-white gowns, for weddings and other events.

Matthew James Swan shares his passion for the wilderness with travellers from around the globe on expeditions to some of the world’s most geographically and culturally remote destinations.

Scenic’s 2019 program includes exclusive access to the full range of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts throughout Canada, from the Fairmont Express in Victoria to Fairmont Chateau Whistler, as well ascomplimentary drinks packages during all cruises on Holland America Line and Princess Cruises.
