Every cruiser has a favourite itinerary. Here are some of ours
S
ipping Chardonnay amongst the icy peaks of Glacier Bay…more mouthwatering meal choices than you could ever imagine…island-hopping among a half-dozen or so exotic ports of call in one sun-drenched week… cruising is all this and so much more. There is no other type of travel where you experience so much, but only have to pack and unpack once! Here’s a look at the two hottest itineraries for the upcoming cruise season, each vetted and recommended by our own LeGrow’s Travel cruise experts. Take a look and hurry in to book!
CRUISE ITINERARY: ALASKA Itinerary highlights: Ketchiken, Glacier Bay, Skagway’s White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad; and Juneau, where you can kayak, canoe or hike to get a closer look at Mendenhall Glacier. “Cruising Alaska is a bucket list experience bar none! The wildlife and scenery is otherworldly, with everything from bright blue glaciers to seals and whales frolicking in full view of your ship’s deck. And the islands and frontier towns and incredible Glacier Bay National Park. Wow!” Recommended for you by

One of my favourite travel experiences so far was a Rhine River cruise with Viking. The itinerary is full of castles, history and wonderful food and wine. Everything about Viking is five-star, from the staff to the service to the excursions.” Recommended for you by Rosarii Farrell, Manager @ Sobeys, Howley Estates St. John’s 709-758-6743 rfarrell@legrowstravel.ca

e all have a dream cruise in mind, that once-in-a-lifetime voyage that ignores real-world constraints like vacation time or budgets. With that in mind, we asked our LeGrow’s Travel cruise experts what their top bucket-list cruises are and why they would recommend them to clients.
DREAM CRUISE: MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE WITH WINDSTAR “My husband and I recently returned from a Mediterranean cruise with Windstar aboard the beautiful yacht, the Star Breeze, and we both had an absolutely amazing time! There is nothing quite like the experience of being under sail aboard a masted ship—it’s truly magical. And with the small-ship intimacy of the Windstar fleet, you have the advantage of sailing more personalized and detailed itineraries into smaller ports the large ships can’t reach.” Recommended for you by Suzanne Jacobs, Manager Lewisporte Shopping Ctr.
