Visit
Greenland's Spectacular Glaciers With Norwegian
Coastal Voyage
GLP
Worldwide invites you to experience the
breathtaking coast of Greenland aboard the
newly-launched MS Fram, a cruise vessel designed
specifically for cruising in Greenland. The first
Greenland cruise departs from Reykjavik in Iceland
on May 27, 2007.
Guests
of GLP's Norwegian Coastal Voyage and NCV
Expedition programs are experienced travellers who
are looking for unique experiences where nature,
culture and comfort are central elements. The
Greenland voyages are a chance to see Greenland's
glaciers in their true form. The ice cap that
covers 80 per cent of the island is melting, a
rallying call for those who want to see Greenland's
icy realms before its glaciers shrink significantly
and eventually disappear.
"With
all the climate changes and what's happening in
this world, this is a very opportune time for this
once-in-a-lifetime experience", said Gordon Dreger,
Vice-President of GLP Worldwide Expedition Travel
& Tours, Norwegian Coastal Voyage's Canadian
representative.
The
newly-launched MS Fram will only serve to enhance
this once-in-a-lifetime experience. "MS Fram is the
world's most modern explorer ship, combining
today's levels of comfort with the opportunity to
get close to the scenery and the elements,"
continued Dreger.
MS
Fram offers a greater number of suites (136 in
total) than is normal for ships of its type. The
ship is named after Fridtjof Nansen's polar ship
Fram, which can still claim to have sailed further
north and further south than any other ship. MS
Fram is NCV's first purpose-built ship and will set
a new standard in expedition cruising in polar
regions. The ship is set to complete a 66-day
repositioning cruise, from September to November
2007, before commencing service in Antarctica in
November 2007.
MS
Fram has eight decks and measures 114 metres long
and 20 metres wide. There are 136 cabins furnished
to a high standard, providing 318 beds. The ship
also features great conference and meeting
facilities. A specially-equipped tender lobby will
make expeditions to shore in Polar Circle boats
both safe and comfortable. MS Fram also has a
restaurant, bar, sauna, gym, Jacuzzi, passenger
bridge and viewing lounge.
The
Greenland voyages are featured prominently in NCV's
newly-released 2007 Expedition Voyages brochure
which also details their Antarctica and Spitsbergen
programs.
There
has been great interest in NCV's Greenland voyages
from around the world, meaning you will be in the
company of an eclectic group of experienced world
travellers during your extraordinary
voyage.
