Unique Itinerary: Adventure Canada & the Mighty St. Lawrence

July 24, 2014 by Aaron Saunders

Earlier this year, we wrote about the new ship that Adventure Canada will be getting for the 2015 cruise season: the 198-guest Ocean Endeavour. Now, it’s time to talk about the itinerary that will welcome her into service: the Mighty St. Lawrence.
