Celtic Quest Series

Many of us here at Adventure Canada can trace our routes back to the Celtic
peoples of Western Europe. Company director, Matthew Swan, designed
our first Celtic Quest in 1995 in hopes of gaining greater insight into
his Scottish heritage and the wild landscape that so shaped the lives
of its coastal peoples. Since that time Adventure Canada has returned
to Scotland and set out to explore the other Celtic nations: Ireland,
Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man, Cornwall and the Iberian Peninsula.
In 2009 we are thrilled to present our Celtic Series: Spain to
Scotland and Scotland Slowly. Taken as one extended learning holiday
or as two separate legs we will explore the rich regional traditions
and the ties that unify; language, music, migration, ancestry and maybe
even ale! Onboard the luxurious ninety-four passenger MS Andrea
we take the road less travelled, visiting small island communities,
wild islands, and important historical and archaeological sites
including highlight excursions to the sacred pilgrimages of Santiago de
Compostela and Iona.
