No reason to go to the link, really. Unless you want to suffer through paragraph after paragraph of left wing dribble.

It’s awfully generous of the American, Canadian and British taxpayers to subsidize this incredibly expensive ill-advised voyage.

Escorted by an icebreaker-seriously? That sounds more like punishment than a pleasure trip-cruise ship = Klingon prison ship...

IMHO probably the greatest leader of men the modern world has ever known, Churchill, Patton and Mac Arthur notwithstanding.

From the linked article:
"Crystals luxury-line competitor, Regent Seven Seas, had to cancel a similar trip to the Northwest Passage in July, 2017, over concerns of large Arctic ice packs." This should be fun to watch.

> The British RRS Ernest Shackleton icebreaker is escorting the ship,
For the ice they claim doesn’t exist?

Couldn’t drag me onto that barge for nothing. Titanic buff since age 10. Hypothermia is a h*** of a way to die.

There are no penguins in the Arctic.

I would not be going on that trip even if the cruise line paid ME-it sounds about as much of a pleasure cruise as that Naked and Afraid show on TV...

Bogus!! The North-west passage is completely ice-free — has been for at least two years now. Al Gore told us so over a decade ago.
The only extra prep this trip should require is packing extra high-SPF sun screen, and Gatorade (to help ward off heat stroke).
Who’s pocketing the money that (we’re supposed to believe) went to pay for ice-breakers??

The Serenitys sold-out journey set off Tuesday from Seward, Alaska, and will dock in New York City on Sept. 17. It represents one of the final uncharted frontiers for travellers, who are doling out $22,000 to $120,000 (U.S.) for the lavish cruise, and unnervingly points to how destructive human activity has made such voyages possible in recent years.
Stopped reading after that paragraph...

But hey, why let facts get in the way of a left-wing article?

Thanks for the link. There is nothing I like more than reading an article full of spelling and grammar errors.

The BBC said the Artic would be ice free in 2008, so why all the fuss?

Wouldn't penguins only be around for a Southwest passage? Meanwhile, what will the sphincter factor be when the passengers start hearing the ship bulkheads crumple?
