Adventure Canada is offering Margaret Atwood fans an experience that’ll blow any book signing out of the water: the chance to join the award-winning author of dystopian-novel-turned-Hulu-hit The Handmaid’s Tale, recently released sequel The Testaments, and other works on an expedition around the Atlantic coast of Canada next year.

The cruise will set sail in June 2020 from St. John’s in Newfoundland, from where passengers will visit French island Saint-Pierre, a fishing village on Cape Breton Island, the historic fortress of Louisbourg, Roosevelt Campobello International Park, the Bay of Fundy, and Sable Island, home of the famous Sable Island horses. This will be Atwood’s eighteenth trip with the adventure tour company.

This Atlantic cruise comes with a fairly hefty price tag, starting at $3,013 per passenger, but picking the brain of a world-famous author is priceless. Still, book before October 31, 2019, and you’ll snag a 15 percent discount.
