Paul Gauguin Welcome Interliners to this week's edition of Interline Travel With Gordon Froese! Did You Know: • Whether it's an ocean cruise, a river cruise, an escorted tour, an all-inclusive resort, a hotel, flight, car rental, rail, insurance, or a fully customized dream vacation package - whatever it is, Gordon can make it a reality! • There has never been a better time to book both luxury ocean and river cruises. Considering the fact that luxury lines like Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Paul Gauguin, Crystal, AmaWaterways, Uniworld and Viking offer all-inclusive pricing (including gratuities, alcohol, and even shore excursions in many cases), you will find that you can take a luxury cruise and end up spending less money than many standard cruises. • The River and Luxury cruise sections can be found by scrolling down to the bottom of this email. Please remember that prices shown in this email, the gordonfroes.com website, or any other website, have the potential to become outdated quite quickly. It is always in your best interest to call & check to see if there are any new prices that have not yet been posted. And now on to the latest interline specials... For your convenience, we have noted in brackets next to each ship name the overall star rating for that ship/cruise line. 6* = luxury (Regent, Silversea, Paul Gauguin, Seabourn, Crystal, Ponant) 5*+ = upscale (Azamara, Oceania, Windstar, Blount Small Ship Adventures) 5* = premium (Celebrity, Holland America) 4* = contemporary (Royal Caribbean, Princess) 3* = budget (Norwegian, MSC, Carnival) ANY CRUISE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE: Please note that these specials are only a small sample of what we have access to. If you find a cruise that interests you (interline or otherwise) anywhere, we can usually obtain the exact same cruise at the same price or even lower!, as long as space is available. Plus you'll have the assurance of being taken care of from start to finish by a professional, experienced agent who values your business and referrals! If you don't see the cruise you are looking for here, simply contact your personal KVI Travel Professional and he/she will be happy to keep an eye out for it and let you know when it shows up. ALASKA / WEST COAST: There remain few places on earth where you can truly breathe. Where space is measured not in feet or miles, but in endless horizons. A place where nature is so powerful, so dramatic, a personal encounter can change you forever. Thrill to white thunder in Glacier Bay, marvel at sunlight at midnight and close - ups of whales, eagles and caribou. Delight in Mt. McKinley's majesty and meadows carpeted with wildflowers. Amid unsurpassed grandeur and serenity, the true wilderness of Denali is calling. Extend your stay in Vancouver or Seattle, the jewels of the Pacific Northwest, or add on a Rocky Mountaineer Railtour to Banff.

  • Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip Van Holland America Line Krijgt De Naam Ms Koningsdam
    CONTACT: Marieke Koudijs PHONE: +31 20 654 1565 FAX: +31 20 623 0151 EMAIL: [email protected] Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip van Holland America Line krijgt de naam ms Koningsdam Vorstelijk nieuw design en rijke Nederlandse historie verenigd in de naam van het nieuwe schip Rotterdam 15 september 2014 - Holland America Line heeft de nieuwe naam van het, in februari 2016 op te leveren, cruiseschip onthuld: ms Koningsdam. Waar de naam enerzijds eer doet aan de diepgewortelde Nederlandse historie van Holland America Line, weerspiegelt het ook een nieuw tijdperk met een voor Holland America Line gedurfde naam. Het nieuwe, 99.500 ton metende, in design vooruitstrevende, Pinnacle Class schip kan 2.650 passagiers accommoderen en wordt gebouwd op de Italiaanse scheepswerf Fincantieri Marghera. Sinds 1883 eindigen alle namen van de passagiersschepen van Holland America Line op het woord ‘dam’ en met het nieuwe ms Koningsdam wordt deze traditie voortgezet. Met de toevoeging van het woord koning, verwijst de naam van het nieuwe schip naar Zijne Majesteit Koning Willem-Alexander, de eerste koning van Nederland sinds meer dan honderd jaar. Holland America Line heeft een lange en trotse historie met Nederland. Alle 15 premium cruiseschepen varen onder de Nederlandse vlag, naar meer dan 400 havens wereldwijd. De rederij deelt haar rijke verleden op jaarbasis met bijna één miljoen gasten. Bovendien telt de cruisemaatschappij veel Nederlandse werknemers, waaronder het merendeel van de kapiteins en officieren. Veel van de schepen van Holland America Line zijn gedoopt door leden van de Koninklijke familie de afgelopen 75 jaar. Het meest recente schip, ms Nieuw Amsterdam is in 2010 gedoopt door toenmalig Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Maxima der Nederlanden.

  • Greenland's Project Independence
    NO. 10 JANUARY 2021 Introduction Greenland’s Project Independence Ambitions and Prospects after 300 Years with the Kingdom of Denmark Michael Paul An important anniversary is coming up in the Kingdom of Denmark: 12 May 2021 marks exactly three hundred years since the Protestant preacher Hans Egede set sail, with the blessing of the Danish monarch, to missionise the island of Greenland. For some Greenlanders that date symbolises the end of their autonomy: not a date to celebrate but an occasion to declare independence from Denmark, after becoming an autonomous territory in 2009. Just as controversial as Egede’s statue in the capital Nuuk was US President Donald Trump’s offer to purchase the island from Denmark. His arrogance angered Greenlanders, but also unsettled them by exposing the shaky foundations of their independence ambitions. In the absence of governmental and economic preconditions, leaving the Realm of the Danish Crown would appear to be a decidedly long-term option. But an ambitious new prime minister in Nuuk could boost the independence process in 2021. Only one political current in Greenland, tice to finances. “In the Law on Self-Govern- the populist Partii Naleraq of former Prime ment the Danes granted us the right to take Minister Hans Enoksen, would like to over thirty-two sovereign responsibilities. declare independence imminently – on And in ten years we have taken on just one National Day (21 June) 2021, the anniver- of them, oversight over resources.” Many sary of the granting of self-government people just like to talk about independence, within Denmark in 2009.

  • Linguistic Landscape, Greenlandic, Danish, Nuuk, Greenland, Signs, Multilingual, Urban, Minority, Indigenous
    The linguistic landscape of Nuuk, Greenland Abstract The purpose of this article is to present and analyse public and private signs in the linguistic landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Nuuk is a trilingual environment including the indigenous language (West Greenlandic), the former colonial language (Danish), and the global language (English). West Greenlandic is a somewhat unusual case among indigenous languages in colonial and postcolonial settings because it is a statutory national language with a vigorous use. Our analysis examines the use of West Greenlandic, Danish, and English from the theoretical perspective of centre vs. periphery, devoting attention to the primary audiences (local vs. international) and chief functions (informational vs. symbolic) of the signs. As the first investigation into the Greenlandic linguistic landscape, our analysis can contribute to research on signs in urban multilingual indigenous language settings. Keywords: linguistic landscape, Greenlandic, Danish, Nuuk, Greenland, signs, multilingual, urban, minority, indigenous 1. Introduction The purpose of our study is to analyse public and private signs in the linguistic landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Scholarly enquiry into the linguistic landscape seeks to ascertain the practices and ideologies relating to the language appearing in public spaces. The public spaces included in this type of analysis consist of official signs (e.g. traffic signs, street names, government notices), private signs (e.g. shop names, private business signs, personal ads), graffiti, food packaging, notes, discarded items, and moving signs on buses or t-shirts (see e.g. see Gorter, 2006; Shohamy & Gorter, 2009; Jaworski & Thurlow, 2010). The dynamic, constantly mediated multimodal linguistic landscape gives space its meaning and interacts with the built environment (Moriarty, 2014a).
