ill it be the dash and dazzle of the Caribbean or the meandering pace of Europe’s rivers? “These days, there really is a cruise to fit every vacation lifestyle,” says Doreen Swain, Maritime Travel counsellor, Leduc, AB. “Whether you’re into sampling sunny Caribbean ports, roaming the ancient waterways of Europe, or even observing endangered wildlife in the remote coves of Antarctica, there’s a cruise with your name on it.” Now, with Maritime Travel’s October Cruise Sale, there’s never been a better time to choose cruising. “Our cruise partners have come to the table with some great offers for cruise month,” says Doreen. “We’re talking everything from free beverage packages to hundreds of dollars in on-board credits.

Bring On The Bahamas!
J
ust 50 miles off the Florida coast, this sparkling island paradise comprised of no fewer than 700 islets is a top-rated port of call on Eastern Caribbean itineraries. This is also the destination where most cruise lines have their own private islands. The Bahamas are also home to the Caribbean’s largest casino, and to some of the liveliest nightlife to be found in the tropics. The Atlantis Casino on Paradise Island is the Caribbean’s largest, and the nightlife is some of the hottest to be found on any island resort. For daytime activities, the port of Nassau is vibrant and easy to navigate, offering beachfront activities and affordable shopping. “I love The Bahamas. From Nassau-Paradise Island to Grand Bahama Island. Clients love all the different things they can do…from island hopping to diving to deep-sea fishing.”
Meanwhile, CocoCay, located between Freeport and Nassau, provides 140 acres of private beaches, shopping and activities exclusively for passengers of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises.
