Travel and Culture Group in Omaha

Greenland - July 17-Aug 2, 2026 (16 day tour)
Please note this is for next year, 2026 :)

The largest island in the world is calling … Get ready for the Arctic adventure of a lifetime!

I’m thrilled to announce that the Travel & Culture Group has an upcoming trip to one of the most rare destinations to step foot on; Greenland! Get ready for next summer: from July 17 to August 2, 2026, we’ll be sailing with HX Expeditions on their extraordinary Mythical Lands of the North itinerary.

This isn’t just any expedition—it was personally handpicked for our Travel & Culture group by Alex McNeil, one of the most respected leaders in polar travel and a world figure in the sustainable growth of Greenland and the founder of the Arctic community engagement organization. I was able to speak with Alex directly, explain our group and our previous adventures, and ask his input for us; he selected both our itinerary and the July 17th date specifically for us, ensuring we visit during the most ideal time of year for wildlife, weather, and epic Arctic scenery.

Here’s why this trip is so special:
Greenland today is like Iceland a century ago—before mass tourism, before roads connected everything, when adventure still felt untouched. This is that moment for Greenland. With traditional Inuit villages, no road networks between towns, and vast wilderness unspoiled by development, Greenland remains one of the planet’s last true frontiers—but not for long. As Greenland opens up and tourism begins, this is a rare chance to experience Greenland in its purest form before it becomes modern and developed.

There’s nothing more exciting in life than to have the opportunity to explore one of the most remote and awe-inspiring regions on Earth—with the perfect ship, the perfect route, and the perfect group

Next up, let’s talk about the cabins themselves! The 265 ocean view cabins (there are no interior cabins onboard!) are narrowed down to three main categories: Polar Outside, Arctic Superior, and Expedition Suites. Arranged over five decks, the difference in the categories is mostly down to their position on the ship. They range in size from 183 to 516 square feet, and 50 percent of the cabins have balconies. Depending on availability, we have 3 cabins to pick from:

1. Polar Outside
2. Arctic Superior (with balconies)

Iceland - August 3rd-10th, 2026 (8 day tour)
Please note this is for next year, 2026 :)

Ports: Reykjavik, Heimaey, Seyoisfjorour, Akureyri, Isafjordur, & Grundarfjordur

Until Monday, our group has access to a discounted, VERY limited offer… as in, we have until Thursday July 31st to book.
I'm working with the Windstar Groups department to extend this deadline and will keep everyone updated on details. This special offer is reserved only for travelers in the Travel & Culture Group, and your friends and family.

Our sailing is for the August 3, 2026 departure on the Star Pride, sailing from the Reykjavik port. A few other groups booked up Windstar's remaining cabins on this departure, and suddenly it’s now 81% sold out as of Wednesday. We are trying our best to grab the last few cabins available on this sailing, however, Windstar policy is that they will not hold empty cabins for a group when their other travelers want to book. So, we have until Thursday (July 31st) to put names and deposits down on our cabins.

This isn’t your typical Iceland trip—on this incredible cruise, we’ll circumnavigate the entire country of Iceland, taking in every corner of its rugged coastline without ever changing hotel rooms. Unpack once, relax, and let the ship bring the magic to you. With nearly 2 million travelers flooding Iceland during the summer, the country’s one main road becomes crowded and chaotic, making land travel a logistical headache. But on this cruise, we bypass the traffic and tour buses entirely—no driving, no stress, just glaciers, waterfalls, and fjords served daily. Best of all, this experience is surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to Iceland’s notoriously high hotel and car rental costs. It’s the most comfortable, scenic, and seamless way to see Iceland.

Having only 156 cabins on board, the Star Pride is the perfect size — small enough to offer unique experiences that set Windstar apart from other cruise lines, yet large enough for you to make plenty of new connections on board — all without ever feeling crowded.
This intimate all-suite ship features spacious, ocean-view accommodations, each with a walk-in closet and updated double-vanity bathroom. On board, you’ll find a fully equipped fitness center, a spa with complimentary sauna, an infinity pool, two full-service bars, on-deck hot tub, a water-access marina platform, and so much more.
This discount and the cabin availability expires July 28th
