Dear Friends,

As an extra incentive, we are offering a special airfare savings if you register before October 31, 2015. See the rates section for more details.

Imagine a glorious spring voyage that combines some of the loveliest destinations in the southern Caribbean with private performances of exquisite classical music in historic locations ashore. That is what we have created in this musical odyssey. The intimacy of the concerts—available only to travelers on this voyage—combined with the nearly breathtaking talent of the performing artists will be a transforming experience. The small group of islands found in the short stretch between Panama and St. Lucia are rated among the most beautiful and appealing of all the places in the Caribbean Sea. It is a region free of mega-cruise ships, where nature reigns supreme. You’ll be surrounded not by throngs of tourists but by tropical rain forests and lush mountains, sea turtles and tropical flowers. The locations in our itinerary are off the beaten path, they are pristine, they are serene, and they are waiting for you. Sailing these undiscovered and unspoiled islands aboard the five-star small cruise ship Le Boréal in the idyllic days of spring is a pleasure not easily replicated. Throughout the journey, you will enjoy intimate classical concerts, planned especially for you as a subscriber. Distinguished pianist—and faculty member of the Aspen Music Festival and School—Wu Han, and her colleagues from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the nation’s premier repertory company for chamber music, will engage in a series of transporting performances—a wonderful complement to the equally transporting destination—at historical locations ashore. Additionally, I will also join you onboard to share insights into the contemporary classical music scene. But what truly sets this voyage apart from others is that Wu Han, the performing artists, and I are fellow travelers. We dine with you and engage in informal conversation. We will share the experience of hiking in the coral San Blas Islands, exploring the UNESCO World Heritage city center of Cartagena, observing the copious tropical fish, dolphins, and other marine life that glide through the pristine turquoise waters, and discovering the museums and colonial forts of Curacao. The natural beauty and historical import of the places visited are more than enough to recommend this voyage. When combined with exclusive access to performances by world-class musicians, it is irresistible. Next spring, join me, Wu Han, and a trio of the country’s most talented musicians as we set sail for the hidden, unspoiled jewels of the southern Caribbean. Sincerely,

Alan Fletcher President and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School
