January 2017 Dear Starr Traveler, Thanks to each and every one of you, we are pleased to enter into our 70th year in business. Since 1947, you - our valued customers - have continued to support us by traveling with us and referring Starr to your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers.

We are very thankful for your loyalty to Starr and we work hard every day to exceed your expectations. Our goal continues to be to offer the best travel opportunities, in the safest manner, at the best prices.

As we mark this important milestone, our assortment of 2017 day trips and multi-day vacations is our biggest ever. With tried and true favorites like Mackinac Island, Savannah & Charleston, Cape Cod, and Niagara Falls, we know you’ll never be disappointed. We’ve been busy this past year dreaming up new itineraries and working with hotels and destinations to offer you new and interesting trips to take. Places like Rocking Horse Ranch in NY’s Catskill Mountains, Dublin, Ohio with its Irish Cross Country by Bus at Mount Rushmore 2016 and German Heritage, Hagerstown, Maryland's Revolutionary History, and Orlando, Florida are in our assortment to entice you. And we’ve developed some great itineraries to places you may know but will experience like never before. Try our Girlfriends Getaway to the Finger Lakes, Mid-Atlantic Maritime Magic, Erie, PA: Lighthouses along the Seaway Trail, and Branson with all new shows.

And don’t forget our special one-time only events like our Smoky Mountain Birthday Bash, the Solar Eclipse & Yellowstone, and JFK’s 100th Birthday Celebration. 2017 will surely be a year to remember!

As you page through this catalog, don’t forget about the coupons offering savings up to $65 per person!

Sail aboard the Carnival Sunshine® from New York City

Canada and New England may not spring to mind when you think of cruise destinations, but they should because the perfect way to experience this naturally gorgeous, history-packed region is to arrive by sea. Back when ships were how people traveled — but weren't as much fun as today — ports like Halifax, Boston and Saint John were some of the most important. Dating back to the 17th century, they today continue to retain much of their old charm… and have developed a few new tricks in the centuries since.

I have worked in the travel industry since 1976.

When I worked at Rosenbluth, I enjoyed being a Travel Consultant for Philly's pro sports teams.

Working for Starr has exposed me to a different aspect of the travel industry and has also brought me back into a family business environment.

When I was in high school, I started a business with a group of friends. We helped set-up, serve, and clean-up at parties. We always had a blast!

I came to Starr after asking the owners a question about the travel business. I guess they liked me because they hired me!

I once worked at Hickory Farms selling beef sticks & cheese and won several prizes for selling the most beef sticks. I still have an affinity for their products.

When my youngest child started school full time, I started looking for a full-time job. A friend and former Starr employee said Starr was looking for a receptionist so I interviewed and got the job!

I used to be a sales rep for Legg's Pantyhose.

I drove a Legg's van to various supermarkets and stores delivering the Legg's Eggs. The van I drove had a 3 speed on the steering column and it took some time just to learn how to drive it!

Ten years ago, I came across an ad in the newspaper for a receptionist position at Starr's Northeast Philly office. I applied and got the job.

I was once a Corporate Officer and Branch Manager for a bank. I always knew that I enjoyed working with people.

I came to Starr because I love to travel. I started working part-time when my children were young and then shifted to full-time when they got older.

I used to work for Associated Business Careers School as an Administrative Assistant. I enjoyed working with the students and staff.

Later on, I was working for a private company and got laid off. I came across an ad for Starr and the rest is history!
