By Kevin West| Travel + Leisure Verified It was the boat that got me. Swell, run by Maple Leaf Adventures out of Victoria, British Columbia, was built in 1912 as a wooden-hulled tugboat. Refitted in 2004, it now operates as an elegant 88-foot expedition cruiser for 12 guests, five crew, and an onboard naturalist. Full disclosure: I don’t much like the ocean, but I’ll take a boat if there’s no other way to get somewhere, and I had always wanted to see Alaska’s southeastern coast.

By Kevin West| Travel + Leisure Verified “The tyranny of distance” is a phrase Australians use half-seriously to express the peculiarity of their global position. Popularized by a book by historian Geoffrey Blainey, it describes a point of view held by British colonialists of the 1800s, who believed the center of the universe to be Buckingham Palace. From that perspective, residents of the Crown’s outposts Down Under were brutally distant, somehow even more than half a world away.
