Starr 2023 Vacations

Dear Valued Starr Traveler,

If there is one thing I have learned over the challenging past few years, it's that what really makes Starr so special is community! That's what we are building together here at Starr!

Yes, of course we come to work every day striving to plan and execute wonderful vacations and day trips for all of you, but even more than that, we're thrilled to facilitate the amazing community of Starr Travelers that you have helped us create. For those who have traveled with us before, you know the magic of meeting new friends when you travel as a group. For those who are considering traveling with us for the first time, you won't find this part of the experience listed anywhere in the itineraries, but know that once you step on board, you'll be instantly welcomed into the Starr community.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because (in our humble opinion) Starr has the BEST travelers around - YOU! For this we want to thank you all. Thank you for being kind, willing to try new things, ready to go-with-the-flow and always willing to help out. Thank you for sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone and going the extra mile to welcome new faces. From all of us at Starr - from our tour directors, drivers, tour planners and sales team - thank you! We are grateful for your feedback, positive and constructive, as we strive to make each and every year better than the one before it.

Recognizing the strength of this incredible bond among our traveling community, we’ve worked hard over the past few years to find ways to extend the connection beyond our trips. From the comfort of your home, you can engage with fellow travelers as well as Starr staff on our Facebook pages, in our Facebook groups, on Instagram, and even on Zoom via our Tour Tuesdays! We're so excited for our upcoming year of travel, and look forward to strengthening and growing this great Starr community. You're the reason we do what we do, and we can’t wait to get going. We wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy 2023, and can’t wait to connect again.

Yours in travel,

Sandy Borowsky Vice President

For those of you who noticed a new logo (also shown here), you're the winners! Having turned 75 last year, we thought about how to continue to evolve as a company so we felt it was time to give our brand an update. It's been a good while since we've done this and we really feel the new branding encapsulates the personality and vision of our company today and into the future. Keep an eye out as we start to roll out the branding across the rest of the company and fleet. We hope you like it as much as we do!

DAY FOUR:

We travel home with wonderful memories. B

December 31, 2023 - January 1, 2024

Ring in the New Year at Toby's! Enjoy an evening filled with great music, dancing, and non-stop holiday entertainment!

DAY ONE:

• Arundel Mills Mall

• Live! Casino

• New Year's Eve Event at Toby's

Our quick getaway to welcome in 2024 starts with time for lunch and shopping on own at Arundel Mills Mall. Next we head over to Live!

Casino before checking into our hotel for our final sleep of 2023! Tonight, we'll celebrate New Years Eve at Toby's Dinner Theater including dinner, a show, music and dancing, a champagne toast at midnight followed by breakfast. Toby's Dinner Theatre offers exceptional theatre with a live orchestra and a

scrumptious buffet-style dinner. Included is a 25-item salad bar, carving station, a plentiful buffet, and desserts. Coffee and Tea (hot and iced) are included and a cash bar is available. This unique venue, with amazing performances 'in-the-round,' provides each guest with a dynamic interactive experience and a great view, with no seat more than 30 feet from the stage. We'll see "Mircle on 34th Street." This musical adaptation of the classic film is the holiday tale of a young girl who doubts the existence of Santa Claus until a very special, white-bearded old man changes her mind. Recreating the magic of the classic story, this is a joyous, heartwarming musical, and the

perfect holiday treat. We'll toast to the New Year and then enjoy a bountiful breakfast buffet before returning to our hotel. D, B

DAY TWO:

• Longwood Gardens

After a lazy morning, we'll pack up to head home but not before stopping to celebrate the holidays at Longwood Garden's unique garden styles. Thousands of brilliant poinsettias, towering Christmas trees, and fragrant flowers bloom in the Conservatory's crystal palace. Daily concerts fill the Ballroom with music while 400,000 lights glow in the trees outdoors. B

Enjoy Christmas nestled in the heart of the White Mountains at the grand Omni Mount Washington Resort.
