Adventure Canada is currently offering a week-long cruise of the Scottish Isles in the company of Margaret Atwood and her husband, Graeme Gibson. There is no information given on Adventure Canada’s website as to what Atwood and Gibson will actually be doing on the cruise, though presumably their itinerary will skew closer to things like lectures and birdwatching rather than shuffleboard, Love Boat-style romantic hijinks, and sangria on the Lido Deck.
Considering that, on a similar birdwatching trip to the Arctic, Atwood “discovered” future Giller-winner Vincent Lam, we can only assume that weight restrictions on unpublished novel manuscripts will be strictly enforced.
Hi Nathan and thanks for the mention! Just to let you know, it was also one of our trips in which she met Vincent Lam. You’re correct, they will be lecturing, and they are also representing Birdlife International and they are the honorary co-presidents of the Rare Bird Club.
Just to let your readers know, we are offering 30% off the trip – called Scotland Slowly – right now.
Happy Travels!

They’ll be smuggled in on little USB thingies dangling from Mark Steyn-designed kilts.
The whole thing sounds revolting in this day and age and totally frivolous. Think of the pollution these people will cause coming and going and then riding the high seas.
