Kudos for Delfin Amazon Cruises

We thought you might be interested in Kiki’s trip report on her recent voyage through the Peruvian Amazon aboard the Delfin I — View on the Emerging Destinations blog page here. A journey with Delfin Amazon Cruises is truly an incredible one. Preview the “Delfin Experience” at this video link — Delfin Experience. Or check out what others are saying about their adventures with Delfin in the Amazon. “This was a truly wonderful experience," a passenger from New York wrote last July. "The guides were so knowledgeable, the room was beautiful, the service impeccable, the food excellent. I would certainly recommend the Delfin to anyone interested. Keep up the great work.” See other testimonials on Delfin's homepage here.

Famed Amazon Explorer Joins Delfin Trip

A world­renowned expert on Amazon tribes and Incan civilization, Canadian explorer and author John Hemming will be guest lecturing aboard Delfin II during a five night/four day cruise that commences on February 10th, 2016.

Hemming has published several best­selling books on South American topics including The Conquest of the Incas, Tribes of the Amazon Basin and The Search for El Dorado. His insightful and highly informative lectures will help passengers expand their knowledge of the region as they cruise along one of the world’s great rivers. Hemming will also be available for questions and discussion.

Former director of the Royal Geographic Society in London and one of the founders of the South American Explorers Club, Hemming is best known as one of the survivors of the ill­fated Iriri River Expedition of 1961, which was ambushed by a then­unknown Amazon tribe called the Panará. In the early 1970s he returned to on a wide­ranging expedition that visited 45 different indigenous groups, including several that had never before had contact with the outside world.

The February departure includes an additional fee of US$250 per person, and there will be https://t.e2ma.net/webview/odjr1/7bdfa8d6787c5defed564e943d20fbc9 2/5 3/23/2016 email : Webview : The Northern Lights, the Peruvian Amazon and Patagonia copies of Hemming's latest book for him to sign on board.

Iceland ProCruises Wraps Successful First Season

IPC just lowered the curtain down on its very successful debut season in the North Atlantic with a cruise called "The Natural Wonders of Greenland & Iceland" from Aug 27th to Sept 7th. Hot off the press (or rather out of the digital camera), here are some photos of that buffo finale:

IPC Adds Whales and Aurora

IPC just announced that it will extend its 2015­16 cruise season in the North Atlantic with the addition of a brand new Iceland program called "Northern Lights and Whales – Iceland on Land and at Sea."

This seven­day theme journey via ship and bus is scheduled for Sept 17th­23rd, 2016. This is one of the prime times for viewing the Aurora Borealis and also a season when many whale species frequent the waters around Iceland. Those aboard Ocean Diamond for the voyage will have access to special shore excursions and lectures dealing with the "giants of the sea" and the spectacular Northern Lights.

The new trip comes close on the heals of a TripAdvisor user survey that lists seeing the Northern Lights as one of the top ten trips of a lifetime and a CNN Travel story that declares Iceland as one of the best places to view the Aurora Borealis — See the Northern Lights
