Crazy for Cruising!

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 Jennifer Hunter, Maritime Travel counsellor, Frontenac Mall, Kingston, ON. “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 Jennifer. “We’re talking everything from free beverage packages to hundreds of dollars in on-board credits. Plus, with our membership in the Virtuoso luxury travel network, our clients also score all kinds of exclusive benefits ranging from special shore excursions to gourmet dining credits and private cocktail parties.”

EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF! Enchanting Rhine River Cruise with AmaWaterways “Want to experience river cruising in Europe? The beautiful Rhine is the place to start. I recently enjoyed a fabulous cruise on this itinerary with AMA Waterways.

I absolutely loved sailing through the Rhine Gorge. The castles were my favourite part.”

“Nothing unwinds you like a week of island-hopping in the sun—and that’s exactly what you get on an Eastern Caribbean cruise. This is a vacation I recommend to my new-to-cruising clients as there are so many ways to experience this itinerary, from two-night mini vacations to sun-soaked adventures lasting a week or longer.”

CRUISE PICK: PANAMA CANAL, INCLUDING COSTA RICA AND THE CARIBBEAN WITH PRINCESS CRUISES “With the history of its creation dating back to 1913, the Panama Canal is a destination to be returned to time and again. The canal itself is an awesome feat of human engineering that today easily accommodates both colossal container ships and massive cruise ships, too. Prepare to be amazed!”

Port Pick

Bring On The Bahamas!

“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.”

Recommended for you by Susie Aguiar, Manager Dorval Crossing West, Oakville, ON 905-849-0333 • saguiar@maritimetravel.ca

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.

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.
