CRUISE ADVENTURE: ANDES AND SOUTH AMERICA WITH PRINCESS CRUISES

Mexico’ s Paciﬁc Coast ports are not only completely different from anything you will experience on a Caribbean cruise, they’re also distinctly different from each other. The Mexican Riviera is a year-round itinerary with balmy temperatures for the most part.

For seasoned travellers looking for an off-the-charts adventure, a cruise to South America—the very tip of the Southern Hemisphere—delivers a cornucopia of adventures in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and points South.

“Want to experience some Pacific beach culture? The Mexican Riviera awaits! I love Mexico and I love to cruise, so this is the perfect itinerary in my opinion. You’ll love such seafront towns as Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan, where you can enjoy wonderful shore excursions like deep sea fishing, golf and hiking.” Recommended for you by Judy Jenkins, Manager Gander Mall Gander 709-651-4666 jjenkins@legrowstravel.ca

Going Solo—our top picks for independent travellers Recommended for you by Raelene Parsons, Manager @ Dominion, Murphy Square Corner Brook 709-634-7999 rparsons@legrowstravel.ca

ravelling by yourself doesn’t mean you have to go it alone— unless, of course, that’s what you’re looking for. “In my experience, solo travel is all about experiencing a destination on your own terms,” says Raelene Parsons, Manager, LeGrow’s Travel, Corner Brook. “You can head for a sun-drenched all-inclusive and relax on a beach, go snorkelling among the coral reefs or read by the pool— the choice is all yours.” Beyond the beach, there are loads of adventurous coach tours, cruises and tailor-made holidays for solo travellers to check out. At LeGrow’s Travel, we’ve partnered with some of our favourite suppliers to create a bucket list of options for solo escapes to sunny all-inclusives, destination-rich global adventures, cruise holidays and more.
