I'm delighted today to announce the release of the final itinerary for our first river cruise program here at Wheel & Anchor - The Elbe River: Berlin to Prague:
The Elbe is one of Europe's lesser-cruised rivers, namely because it is quite shallow, and required the building of custom ships to do so.
When a visitor to Scotland says they want to do the “highlands and islands”, it usually means they want to hear northwest from Edinburgh, taking a ride through the remote glens (valleys) and mountain passes of the rugged northwest of Scotland, and finally crossing by bridge or ferry onto one or more of the enormous islands that fan out from the country’s jagged western coastline.

If you watched Gordon’s video last week about his thoughts on the grounding of the world’s Boeing 737 Max fleet, your brain may be in a bit of a whirl. It is so hard to think through the topic of travel safety with a cool head.
And let’s face it, statistics rarely seem to help us get things straight.
The Cunard Line remains one of the most venerable shipping companies in the world. Founded in 1840 by Canadian entrepreneur Sir Samuel Cunard, the Cunard shipped passengers and the British mail (RMS means “Royal Mail Ship”) across the Atlantic. One of Cunard’s rivals for the transatlantic route was the British company White Star Line, owner of the ill-fated RMS Titanic.

I made a short video this week with some thoughts about the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max fleet. Collectively here in this community it's safe to say we spend a lot of time in airplanes, and tragedies like the recent Ethiopian Airlines crash can't help but make us pause and think about the risks involved of leaving the safety of our homes to go out and explore the world.
