Roman Senator, 1st Century AD

If you’re an avid fan of the hit TV show, Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel, as we are, this experience can be for you. It’s called the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen’s Tour. It’s a four-hour tour out of Ketchikan, Alaska, scheduled during the relatively mild weather of May through September.

Even in those quiet months, the Bering Sea trip is not for sissies. The crabbing boat, Aleutian Ballard, takes up to 149 hardy passengers on each sailing to get a taste of what the real sailors go through in their tough jobs.

If you’re interested in this great experience, and you plan to be on an Inside Passage cruise or will just be in Ketchican for the day, check out this tour.

Usuhaia is the southernmost town in America. It's at the lowest tip of Argentina, just a short flight from the South Pole. Some cruise ships stop there, but not much to see or do, except for an occasional visit by a gang of penguins. In their black and white formal wear, all they want to do is whoop it up on a Saturday night.

Actually, it's a 2,400-year-old marble statue, the Crouching Aphrodite, and is on display in the Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
