Cruise Line to run the North West Passage.
At a cost of $20,700US,Crystal Serenity cruise ship is planning to do the NWP starting August 16,2016 and lasting 32 days.I would be interested if I could part with the green stuff.

The Northern ice is growing twice as thick this year , if it continues the trip may be cancelled.

I've been there. Not much to see. If you want to see whales 'n such go to Marineland or something. Polar bears? Humph!
The most interesting parts of the arctic are the navigational markers. A stack of oil drums here, the fuselage of a crashed plane there, yadda yadda yadda.
*Yawn*
