 Dear Friend, I'm encouraging last-minute-deciding, lollygagging, procrastinating fans of America's premier conservative website and magazine to get the lead out and sign up for the forthcoming National Review 2019 Canada/New England Conservative Cruise, scheduled for August 24th - 31st, on Holland America Lines' beautiful MS Zaandam. This is your last chance to reserve a terrific cabin, information about which (and so many other matters) you can find at www.nrcruise.com/canada. The National Review 2019 Canada/New England Conservative Cruise, will feature an all-star cast of your favorite NR writers and guest speakers . . . We have many invitations to leading conservatives outstanding: To date, confirmed speakers joining Rich Lowry, Charlie Cooke, Kevin Williamson, Jay Nordlinger, John O'Sullivan, John McCormack, and Alexandra DeSanctis include former U.S. attorney general Jeff Sessions, conservative legal expert Cleta Mitchell, Acton Institute founder Fr. Robert Sirico, AEI scholar Christina Hoff Sommers, best-selling author Peter Schweizer, City Journal editor Brian Anderson, and Supreme Court free-speech champion Mark Janus. . . . and will be very affordable: Prices start at $2,499 a person (and "single" cabins start as low as $3,399!). And as for the trip itself, well, this is definitely a terrific, sought-after itinerary. Here's what awaits: We embark in Montreal (on "Cruisemas Eve" we will likely have a special reception there with a special speaker) and head for Quebec City, one of the most beautiful towns in North America. You'll want to stroll the trendy Grand Allee, visit the iconic Chateau Frontenac, and explore the Plains of Abraham, scene of the historic Seven Year's War battle that led to Canada's creation. Next the Zandaam is "at sea," which means enjoying provocative NR seminars and the relentless beautiful scenes offered up by the Saint Lawrence River and into the Gulf, as our floating paradise next steams to Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, where many visit the house and farm that inspired Anne of Green Gables. From there you're bound for Nova Scotia. In Sydney, where the Old Town is worth an amble, consider experiencing the Fortress of Louisbourg—the largest fortified town outside of Europe. And in Halifax, the provincial capital, the gorgeous Old Town (and more) also beckons. Venturing to the USA, the Zaandam visits Bar Harbor (it's your opportunity to visit Acadia National Park) before the week of great talk and sights ends on the 31st in Boston. It will be a remarkable week for sure. You won't want to miss it. Picture yourself, along with hundreds of fellow conservatives, and top conservative speakers, enjoying seven full days and nights of revelry and invigorating discussion of the state of the conservative movement, international affairs and the economy, America's culture, and so much more. Our exclusive program consists of seven scintillating seminars featuring NR's editors and guest speakers; two fun-filled "Night Owl" sessions; three revelrous pool-side cocktail receptions; one late-night "smoker" featuring superior cigars (and complimentary cognac); and intimate dining on at least three evenings with a guest speaker or editor. And: During the course of the cruise, you will be invited to participate in the seafaring version of National Review Institute's acclaimed "Burke to Buckley" program, which consists of three morning sessions in which select speakers will lead interactive discussions on meaningful topics related to conservatism's fundamentals. It's a boiled-down and enjoyable take on NRI's acclaimed Regional Fellows Program, which is based upon an exclusive syllabus composed by celebrated academic Professor Daniel J. Mahoney. All of this takes place on the Zandaam: It's renowned for well-appointed, spacious staterooms, countless amenities, a stellar staff that provides unsurpassed service and sumptuous cuisine, plus a terrific spa, the must-visit "America's Test Kitchen," pools, luxury boutiques, a casino, and nooks and crannies galore to hide in with a good book. OK, let's sum this up: Awaiting you is a sensational cruise in its own right, greatly enhanced by the superior and exclusive NR program, all making for a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. Which means . . . Make sure it's your experience. Sign up right now for the National Review 2019 Canada/New England Conservative Cruise. The dedicated website is www.nrcruise.com.
