Such a large region offers a huge variety of experiences. In Alaska you'll sail through vast tracts of wilderness and visit the former frontier towns that will take you back to the Gold Rush era. There are also spectacular glaciers and icebergs which are at their most dramatic when seen from the water.

Canada and New England itineraries enable you to explore rustic fishing towns and many voyages are timed to coincide with the spectacular autumn foliage. Travelling further south towards Central America you can explore the Mexican Riviera and Belize, as well as travelling through the remarkable feat of engineering which is the Panama Canal and down towards Colombia.

Finally, if it's sunshine and beaches that are your motivation for a holiday, then island hopping around the Caribbean is the perfect option. And whilst jaded travellers sometimes dismiss the Caribbean as overrated and crowded the easy-going and welcome islands in the Southern Caribbean are an altogether different (and, in the view of all at Mundy, a better) proposition.
