    ABD or Viking Cruise for Iceland?

    Rent a camper van and drive the ring road. Just an idea. Also along with Viking there is Hurtigruten and Nat Geo and a couple others. A friend has talked us into a Viking circumnavigation this year, Late August. I am looking forward to this trip. We will prob avoid the canned port excursions...

We have 25+ cruises, but had to call DVC on 5/17 to book MV with points, thus trying to get through with all the DVC bookings, so my 25+ advantage was for naught. I feel it was very poorly planned by DVC. Just...

    Antarctica!

    Thanks So Much for the reply, I found the Lindblad / Nat Geo to be a very high quality parka. Surprised at the Metal Zipper, rare these days, especially for cold weather gear. Ponant Parka, just guessing will be a tad warm for me, The Lindblad parka was way to warm for me. So great to...
