ill it be the sea lions and ice fields of Glacier Bay or the meandering pace of Europe’s rivers?

“These days, there really is a cruise to fit every vacation lifestyle,” says Monique MacMullin, Maritime Travel advisor, Charlotte Street, Sydney, NS. “A cruise can be an intimate 10-day meander on Asia’s Mekong River, or a four-day fling on a 5000-passenger mega ship, or even a 30-day aroundthe-world sail with an exclusive luxury line. The sky is really the limit.”

With Maritime Travel’s June Cruise Sale now on, there’s never been a better time to choose cruising. “There are so many offers out there—from free beverage packages to hundreds of dollars in onboard credits—and they’re changing all the time. A Maritime Travel advisor is essential. They know what the deals are and where to find them.”

They are also experts at matching you with the cruise that suits you best.

14-Night SPAIN & CANARY ISLANDS Westbound Transatlantic with Celebrity Cruises “Repositioning cruises offer amazing value, with itineraries including interesting ports of call such as the Azores, Barbados or Bermuda.”

Recommended for you by Christiane DeGrasse, Manager Brunswick Square Saint John, NB 506-632-1880 cdegrasse@maritimetravel.ca

PRIME SAILING SEASON: May-September The fabled Inside Passage is one of the most scenic sea lanes in the world, and one of the few where deep-draft vessels can sail close to steep mountain walls. Count on unbelievable scenery, ranging from verdant forests and glens, to stunning turquoise glaciers and intriguing towns and outposts steeped in history and adventure.

PRIME SAILING SEASON: April/May & September/October A transatlantic cruise is any sailing that crosses the Atlantic Ocean—often when cruise lines are re-positioning a ship from one region to another during the change of cruise seasons. For example, many ships sail the Caribbean in the winter months, then reposition to Europe for the summer (and vice versa).

Portugal by River Portugal’s delightful Douro waterway offers unspoiled scenery and charming historic towns far from the crowds Recommended for you by

Joan Cochrane

Truro Mall Truro, NS 902-893-7185 jcochrane@maritimetravel.ca

andy beaches framed by golden cliffs…deserted islands and rocky coves…terraced vines and whitewashed villages—Portugal is one of the few remaining European countries with many exotic attractions and fewer crowds.

“A river cruise, taken on the Douro River, is the best way to discover all that Portugal has to offer,” says Joan Cochrane, Maritime Travel advisor, Truro Mall. “As well as some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe, your cruise will glide by the country’s oldest wine-producing region, where vineyards make everything from award-winning port (wine fortified with brandy) to Muscatel.”

Other highlights on a Portugal river cruise itinerary include excursions to ancient Portuguese villages and towns,

as well as a visit to Spain’s charming university city of Salamanca. Here are just two of Joan’s suggestions for your next river cruise.

PORTUGAL, SPAIN & THE DOURO RIVER VALLEY—11-Day Cruise with Uniworld

Sail roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Barca d’Alva, the last Portuguese village along the Douro; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.”

Taste wines from historic wineries and soak up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes.

An extraordinary journey designed for culturally curious travellers, this scenic and all-inclusive river cruise follows the Douro River through Portugal and into Spain. Quaint villages and acres of ripe orchards, along with private tastings and innovative regional dining are all on the menu. And with visits to the lively cosmopolitan cities of Lisbon and Salamanca book-ending your trip, you’ll soon be the Douro River expert yourself!

Joan Says…

“Load up the extras with AMA! Shore excursions, wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; and complimentary bicycles for tours and personal use are all included in the fare.”

Joan Says…

“No need to open your wallet on a Uniworld cruise! This classy line includes all drinks, all day long, all excursions, and all gratuities (even gratuities on the excursions) in the cruise fare.”
