ADVENTURESIncorporated INTRODUCES THE ARCTIC

Nov 5

Posted by PressRelease in Adventure Inc, New Package, Packages | Comments off


ADVENTURESIncorporated (A.I.), Goways Adventure and Latin American division now offers vacations to span the globe; from bottom to top! The adventure specialist has rightfully boasted over 2500 adventures in over 55 countries; from East to West and one of the last frontiers on the planet – Antarctica.

“Now the ‘circle’ is complete” commented Don Forster, Product and Marketing Manager of ADVENTURESIncorporated. “We are always looking for new destinations and options for our adventure-minded clients and are now offering trips across both polar circles. Our new Arctic departures start in June 2008 not only round out our Polar offerings but they also offer another choice of destination for our returning clients.” continued Forster.

The Arctic differs from the southern polar region geologically, biologically and politically. They are, pun intended, polar opposites. For centuries humans searched for the Northwest Passage, the elusive route to the Orient, and many died trying. For five hundred years, the Northeast Passage, from Russia’s Far East to Scandinavia, drew adventurers from safe harbours into the great unknown, in search of fortune and fame.

The quest to reach the North Pole was equally as tragic and prolonged as the quests for northern trade routes. The controversial feat was accomplished less than a hundred years ago; reaching the top of the world is still a relatively rare occurrence in the 21st century.

Now these journeys can be undertaken in safety and comfort and those wishing to retrace the early explores have a number of options available.

The Northeast Passage 25 Days Anchorage to Helsinki from $24,700 USD.

Arctic Islands 17 Days Helsinki to Helsinki from $15,500 USD.

Arctic Quest 18 Days Ottawa to Ottawa from $14,500 USD.

For the complete list of trips see ADVENTURESIncorporated Arctic main page.

ADVENTURESIncorporated is the exclusive adventure division of 37 year old Goway Travel. For more information on A.I. please call 1-800-387-8850, email info@adventuresincorporated.com or visit ADVENTURESIncorporated.com.

Antarctica – A “Boat” Load of New Product for A.I.

Mar 23

Posted by PressRelease in Adventure Inc, New Package | Comments off


As an extension to its product range in Latin America, ADVENTURESIncorporated (A.I). has announced the ultimate in adventure – Antarctica. Considered by many as the final travel frontier, Antarctica is becoming increasingly popular for all adventurers and is moving up the wish list of Globetrotting travellers, partly due to limited numbers that are able to visit this region.

There are no permanent human residents and Antarctica has never had an indigenous population. The only residents are researchers, varying from approximately 4000 people in summer to 1000 people in winter. Only cold-adapted plants and animals survive in Antarctica, including penguins, fur seals, blue whales, mosses, lichens, and many types of algae.

The Antarctic expedition cruises offered by A.I. operate aboard purpose built vessels (previously operated as Russian research ice breakers) that have been fully converted for the comfort of our clients. They offer travellers up to 4 landings a day, maximized by the extended daylight in the south, as well as having clients up close and personal with a menagerie of polar wildlife. Other adventure options include overnight camping, kayaking and even diving!

“Antarctica by its nature and location is a high cost trip, but within those parameters we have prices to cater to all budgets” says Don Forster, A.I.’s Product Development Manager. “Savvy agents that specialize in this unique destination can earn big commissions by having the knowledge and expertise to confidently sell this niche product.”

With over 22 departures during the season (Northern Hemisphere winter), and a wide selection of itineraries that may include South Georgia and the Falklands Islands, and pricing for all budgets, Antarctica is a new jewel in the Goway family of destinations.

Sample trips include:
13 days Christmas in the Weddell Sea from $8150 USD per person.
19 days Antarctica, Falklands & South Georgia from $7800 USD per person.

ADVENTURESIncorporated is the exclusive adventure division of 37 year old Goway Travel. For more information on A.I. please call 1-800-387-8850, email info@adventuresincorporated.com or visit www.adventuresincorporated.com.
