So, I'm not sure if I'm following this correctly, but I'm thinking that maybe you meant WRANGELL, as in ... http://www.silversea.com/destinations/alaska-cruise/nome-alaska-to-nome-alaska-7816/In which case, maybe something like: We Ride Above Nome Gallantly Engaging Life Lessons I'm not on board for this trip - I just happened to have noticed the new Silversea itineraries today. ======= Addendum: It looks like even the Silversea site has different spellings for the island. It looks like there's a Wrangell Island in Alaska, but also a Wrangel Island in the Russian Federation. So the correct one is probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrangel_IslandSo .... We Ride Above Nome Gallantly Engaging Life

Good catch about the spelling.
My suggestion
WRANGELL
WILD ROAMING ADVENTURE NORTH GREAT EXCITING LOCATION
If it is decided to use the one L spelling then delete the first L word.
I did notice that in the itinerary the spelling is with two L's.

It's confusing but we'll be spending three days at Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean. Wrangell Island and the small city of Wrangell are in southeastern Alaska. We visited Wrangell last May on EAGLE. So I think the cruise name should be WRANGEL.

Here's another way to skin the acronym cat, and in honor of fellow San Diegans, Davefr, and Ted Geisel:
W Watching bears on Arctic ice, R Rush with Russians once or twice. A Aurora lights and zodiac, N Now lose a day, then get it back. G Google polar places please, E Explorer, Regent's not; it's Silversea's. L Luxury for such little dough. L Look, there's Ngaire in the snow!
Oh the places you will go!

Loved your acronym BUT we have to put this on all the paperwork and tell people what it stands for so just ONE word per LETTER Put that brilliant brain to work on this for me with that parameter.
Just FYI I contacted Silversea about their misspelling hopefully they will change to Wrangel. A big difference in these two destinations Wrangel, Russian Federation and Wrangell, Alaska.
I got so excited about this cruise I put 5 DAYS instead of 5 STOPS at Wrangel Island my apologies!

Does anyone want to change their Wrangell acronym to Wrangel before I start the contest?
