Heritage, Culture, History and People at the heart of a comprehensive 'all Canadian' experiential cruise program launch for Canada's 150th Anniversary
Canada's 150th Anniversary draws travellers from around the world to discover Canada, with leading expedition cruise specialist, One Ocean Expeditions (OOE). OOE is committed to develop and operate quintessential Canadian cruise itineraries and programming to commemorate the confederation of Canada.
One Ocean Expeditions 2017 'Canada 150' program launch is timely as the world's appreciation for the nation is at an all-time high. "We are extremely proud to be the leading Canadian cruise operator offering world-class small ship expedition cruises in the Canadian Arctic, Nunavut and Quebec, as well as Canada's Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador," says Managing Director, Andrew Prossin.
"Needless to say, we have our nation at heart and Canada's 150th anniversary is the perfect opportunity for One Ocean Expeditions to express and share our love for this incredible nation with the world. Our team has developed an immersive program that brings incredible northern and east coast history and culture to life," added Prossin.
One Ocean Expeditions' line up of Canadian talent and expert educators, scientists, photographers, marine biologists, historians, artists and expedition leaders involved on all 2017 OOE cruise departures is unprecedented.
Longtime Inuit guides together with world-renowned documentary film producers and photographers will share insight into northern traditions, wildlife and the natural environment through visual storytelling, cultural display and photo/art exhibits and workshops. Historians lead educational presentations and field visits to historical archaeological sites including locations associated with Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition. World-class chefs invite guests to sample authentic Canadian dishes local to the area of exploration, and will educate them on the ingredients and produce used from the land and ocean. OOE's 'Canadian Speaker Series' hosts visual artists Cory Trepanier and Chris Cran; photographers John Lehmann and Debra Garside, as well as educators, musicians and other accomplished Canadians who are contributing to Canada's legacy.
