July Newsletter 2022

Greetings!

Fireworks and Summer Vacations

As we celebrate our nation’s birthday, we also think about our summer vacations.  It’s not too late to get your tours and cruises planned, and the travel industry has been gearing up with a host of summer enticements.
 
For example, through July 5, 2022, Princess Cruises is offering $1.00 deposits.  In addition, you will save up to 40% on 2022 cruises and up to 25% on 2023 cruises to anyplace Princess sails. These offers can be combined with the Princess Plus Package which includes drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities or the Princess Premier package which offers even more benefits.
 
Windstar is offering its guests to “embark on a magical voyage through ancient history and the Mediterranean aboard a Windstar yacht.” Each yacht serves between 148 and 342 guests.  For a limited time, Windstar will upgrade your reservation to All-Inclusive status on select European sailings AND up to $1000 air credit per guest.
 
Royal Caribbean has two incredible offers for its brand-new Wonder of the Seas that was featured in a past newsletter.  The sailings are for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve with rates as low as $1,199 per person for an interior guarantee on the Christmas Eve sailing. Other stateroom categories are also available.  Further, excellent rates can be found on the Allure, the Oasis, the Harmony, and the Symphony. Call us for additional discounts that may apply.
 
Some fascinating news about the two Crystal ships that were sold, the Serenity and the Symphony.  First, Seabourn is offering past Crystal guests parallel status to their Crystal Society level. Further, past Crystal guests will receive a 5% discount on their first Seabourn cruise. Second, the two ships have been purchased by A&K Travel Group Ltd and will be completely refurbished before sailing again sometime in 2023 under the Crystal Cruises brand.
 
Celebrity Cruises now offers single supplements on over 275 sailings, so singles can sail for the same per person prices as staterooms with two passengers. These rates are available on cruises that depart from June 26, 2022 through March 30, 2023 and are good on select cruises to the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexican Riviera and Europe.  Offer is based on availability.
 
Speaking of the Caribbean, take a look at our just added 10-Night Caribbean cruise, roundtrip New York on the NCL Gem.  This sailing has port visits to Grand Turk, Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic), St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Tortola (British Virgin Islands).
 
Covid-19 testing and requirements remain in flux beginning with the wonderful news that US Citizens no longer need to be tested before coming back to the US from foreign soil.  Remember, we are here to help guide you through whatever the requirements are for your vacation. 

So, Where in the World Do You Want to Go?
