Be sure to check out the two cruises we added this month for April, 2019. Take the Pacific Wine Country cruise aboard the Emerald Princess from Vancouver to Los Angeles. Or, sail away on the newest ship of the NCL fleet, the Norwegian Bliss, to the Mexican Riviera. This amazing ship has it all! See below for more details on both of these cruises.
We've added some additional photos and a video about the once in a decade Oberammergua Passion Play coming in 2020. This incredible play is a must-see! We'll be providing more details next month so you can start planning for this spectacular performance in the Bavarian Alps of Germany.
Our
Destinations
section this month features the Galapagos Islands. We visited them over 10 years ago, and we'll be taking another trip on the Celebrity Xpedition in 2019 and hope you'll join us! More information will be available in our June newsletter. Until then, we hope you enjoy some of the photos from our last trip.

Join us in 2019 when we revisit these spectacular islands onboard the Celebrity Xpedition!
|
|
We loved seeing all the varying types of rock formations and the variety of views. Each side of every island has a different landscape.
|
|
These islands, undiscovered by man until the 16th century, have many species that are endemic to the Galapagos, like the Galapagos Sea Lion.
|
|
The remoteness and isolation of the islands have kept 3 types of iguanas, including the marine iguana and the land iguana (above), endemic to the Galapagos.
|
|
From the beautiful, but clumsy-on-land Frigate bird, to the incredible cactus that grow out of the lava, you'll see things you've never seen before. Watch for our June newsletter for more information on how to join us next year in the Galapagos Islands!

Traveling with Pets
Make sure your pet has identification.
While most pets have a microchip, it's helpful if your pet also wears a collar with a tag. On the carrier, clearly write "
Live Animal
", your full name and a cell phone number, as well as a current photo of your pet.
Get your pet up-to-date on its vaccinations.
If traveling to another country or Hawaii, look up vaccinations requirements before you book.
Secure the animal properly in the car
by placing it in a carrier or securing it with special seat belts that connect to its harness. Practice the routine of riding around in the car ahead of time to make sure your pet is comfortable.
Take a direct flight to reduce stress on the animal.
If you're traveling by car, stop frequently
so your pet can eat and relieve itself. Throw a ball or take a walk to give it some exercise as well.
