Port Pick

Belize, Please!

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 Jan Harpell, manager, Maritime Travel, Clayton Park, Halifax, NS. “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 naturewatching.”

Cruise Reviews

Central America or Central Europe – take your pick! CENTRAL AMERICA – PANAMA CANAL WITH NCL

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 Christiane DeGrasse, manager, Maritime Travel, Brunswick Square, Saint John, NB. “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

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

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 Heather Leedham, manager, Maritime Travel, Lower

Sackville, NS. “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 whiskey-tasting, 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 Dublin, a tour of the Ring of Kerry, stops in ASK ME ABOUT IRELAND! Killarney and Blarney Castle, a genuine Irish farm experience, and a special overnight Heather Leedham, Manager excursion to magniﬁcent Ashford Castle, @ Sobeys - Sackville Drive fresh from a $75-million restoration and Lower Sackville, NS Exclusive renovation.
