Hit the Beach!

From family focused to couples central, there’s a winter hotspot with your name on it

F

rom the lively heart of Cancun Island, to Jamaica’s legendary Seven Mile Beach retreat and beyond, our evergrowing list of Caribbean sun destinations have something for everyone.

But choosing just the right resort for that perfect winter getaway can be daunting.

Location, rooms, food, ambiance, activities … there’s so much to consider.

At Maritime Travel, we don’t take that decision lightly. In fact, we have our own program of recommended resorts in Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Florida. We also have some great

recommendations for family getaways, as well as romantic wedding or honeymoon escapes.

All of the properties featured in the Maritime Travel Recommended Resorts brochures have been hand-picked by our travel counsellors, who have personally visited each of these resorts and have deemed them worthy of the “Counsellor’s Choice” seal of approval.

As time ticks down on the winter sun season, there’s still a range of choices for that perfect escape you’ve been dreaming of. Here are just a few of our favourites.

Cancun, Mexico Recommended For: Young and active singles, families and friends Resort: Barceló Costa Cancun

Puerto Plata, D.R. Recommended For: Active sunseekers, families and friends Resort: Riu Bachata

A compact beachfront resort with Mediterranean flare, the Barceló Costa Cancun boasts a lively vibe that appeals to singles and younger travellers who want to get the Cancun experience at a reasonable.

Belize, Please!

W

ith its verdant jungles, tiny islands, ancient ruins and bone-white beaches, Belize packs myriad attractions within its compact borders. The second-smallest country in Central America (after El Salvador), this plucky Spanishspeaking nation is also the site of the secondlargest barrier reef on the planet, complete with more than 100 different kinds of coral and some 500 species of fish.

“I would recommend Belize as an accessible and awesome bucket list destination,” says Heather McDonald, Maritime Travel counsellor, Clock Tower, Kingston, ON. “It has so much to offer in terms of ancient history, spectacular beaches and rich interior landscapes, whether you’re into diving and hiking, adventure travel, or just nature-watching.”

Cruise Reviews

Central America or Central Europe – take your pick!

CENTRAL AMERICA – PANAMA CANAL WITH NCL

D

ubbed the “Crossroads of the World,” the trek across the 50-mile isthmus that connects North and South America once involved a winding path through dicey jungle rivers. But then the Panama Canal was realized and with it the birth of the region as a bucket list destination for cruisers.

“The Panama Canal is an unbelievable feat of modern engineering and transiting the canal by cruise ship is a truly awesome experience,” says Jane Kojavakian, Maritime Travel counsellor, Pointe Claire, PQ. “I’ve cruised many times and this itinerary remains

at the top of my list.”

Suffice it to say, the highlight of a Panama cruise is the canal itself, along with the history, culture and natural splendor of Central America. A gateway to the canal, and a travel destination in its own right, Fuerte Amador is a southern suburb of Panama City and one of the original U.S. installations that guarded the end of the Panama Canal. Don’t miss the shopping and dining on Flamenco Island, the Grank Gehry-designed Museum of Biodiversity and Panama City’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.

CENTRAL EUROPE – ROMANTIC DANUBE WITH VIKING RIVER CRUISES

C

elebrated in song and prose, the legendary Danube flows through nine countries—from Germany’s Black Forest to the Black Sea—providing glimpses of ancient monasteries, Gothic cathedrals, quaint villages, bustling capital cities, and world-class vineyards. At 2,850 kilometers in length, it is one of the most significant commercial waterways on the continent.

Experience it for yourself: During the 8-day Romantic Danube with Viking River Cruises, encounter the grand cities and quaint villages along the celebrated Danube

River. Explore both sides of Hungary’s capital, traditional “Buda” and more cosmopolitan “Pest”, and from Fishermen’s Bastion see how the river divides this fascinating city.

Experience Vienna’s imperial architecture and gracious culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria’s Wachau Valley. Explore a baroque cathedral and stroll cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn about local legends, and understand why Strauss immortalized the “Blue Danube” in his famous melody.

Ireland of the Welcomes

A

small country with a big personality, Ireland punches above its weight class for its timeless landscapes, cultural kaleidoscope and warm and witty citizens. And with almost four million Canadians claiming Irish ancestry in their family trees, it’s no wonder that relations between Ireland and Canada are cozy. Some 130,000 Canucks are welcomed home to the Emerald Isle each year, with thousands more placing the quirky island at the top of their bucket lists.

“I just love Ireland,” says Kathryn Briere,

Maritime Travel counsellor, Cornwall, ON. “I think it’s the perfect destination for a guided vacation because all the wonderful experiences you’ll have are best shared among friends – whether it’s a whiskeytasting, a visit to Blarney Castle, or learning about your Irish ancestors and tracing your family tree. And there’s always something to smile and laugh about.”

If You Go: For an up close and personal introduction to the lyrical charms of Ireland, look no further than Insight Vacation’s 8-day Irish Elegance Country Roads escorted tour.

Highlights include guided sightseeing through ASK ME ABOUT IRELAND! Dublin, a tour of the Ring of Kerry, stops in Killarney and Blarney Castle, a genuine Irish Kathryn Briere farm experience, and a special overnight Time Square Cornwall, ON excursion to magnificent Ashford Castle, 613-933-8720 Exclusivefresh Non-Stop Flights from HALIFAX from a $75-million restoration and * kbriere@maritimetravel.ca renovation.

Your Europe!

Sample a self-guided getaway to Portugal 28 DAYS IN SOUTHERN PORTUGAL – NOW WE’RE TALKING! Sandy beaches framed by golden cliffs … deserted islands and rocky coves … terraced vines and whitewashed villages – Southern Portugal and the Algarve is just one of those places that invites fantasies of relaxation amid enchanting Mediterranean surroundings.

Indeed, Portugal’s southernmost region, about three hours by car from Lisbon, has long been the haunt of long-stay vacationers lured by its rich history, culture and legendary seascapes. The climate is mild and sunny all year round, making it an appealing choice for longer getaways, especially during the low season, when there’s still loads to do to occupy your days.

Plan to visit the Douro Region, Portugal’s oldest wine-producing area and the site of

some of the best port wine on the planet.

Other must-sees include the cosmopolitan towns of Portimao and Albufeira, as well as Tavira for its traditional architecture. The age-old Via Algarviana (Algarve Way) – a 300-kilometer-long footpath that runs along the Algarve from east to west – also invites exploration with its many attractions and accommodations along the way.
