I have heard The new Silversea itineraries are coming out before the end of the month.

Rumors about one expedition cruise that's sounds great. Leaving from Siberia going way north to Wrangel Island (highest concentration of polar bears) and ending in Nome, Alaska. Departing mid July 2018. If this is accurate Ken and I will be doing this cruise.

Will post details when the specifics are released and I expect this to sell out fast.

I think this cruise is already posted on the website. Nome to Nome (19 days).

Just back from the airport and saw emails about this cruise. It has been posted but different from the what I was expecting. But still fantastic as it has a full five days at Wrangell Island.

Ken and I will be doing this and will contact Silversea tomorrow and book a cabin for us.

June and I are booked on this cruise. If you snooze you loose in the SilverSea Expedition world.

I suspect that Ngaire will start a contest soon but I think the only Name that makes any sense to me is WRANGEL,

Hense I suggest the following;

WRANGEL

Wild
Roaming
Adventure
North
Great
Exciting
Location

Of course it just might be me that thinks so, but did want to weigh in on my thoughts. June and I are traveling so might miss the contest. Will try to check LCT but internet is not always available.

I sent Karen an email to start a contest as i have enough people now and I had the exact same thought.

Probably never again will I be going to Wrangel Island and that is truly special so the pin should definitely be Wrangel.

The issue is just the best option for Wrangel.

Ralph I will put your entry in the contest when it is started.

Really upset that it is so many days, but George wants to go. I am going to try to figure out a way to do it.
