Lindblad Expeditions Goes to Alaska
Hello there !
My weekly newsletter didn't go out last Sunday as I was without power and internet for several days, thanks to that awful derecho storm that went through Ottawa.

1. Lindblad Expeditions Goes to Alaska
2. AMA Waterways - Europe 2022
3. Private Sale with Silversea Cruises starting June 1st
4. Where My Clients are Travelling This Month
5. Hotel Programs - Rocco Forte Knights
6. The Body Holiday, St. Lucia
7. Travel Tuesdays - Lindblad
8. Special Offers from Lush Life, Vision/ Direct, Virtuoso
Let me know if you'd like to schedule a complimentary consultation!

1. Lindblad Expeditions Goes to Alaska
|
I hope you can join me on Tuesday, May 31st for Travel Tuesday, where I'll host my partner, Lesa Bain of Lindblad Expeditions to talk all about Lindblad Expeditions and their terrific history of conservation and sustainability - whether that's for their travels to
Galapagos, Antarctica, the Kimberleys, or Egypt.
Lesa will share some overview of the company, and the fact that Lars Lindblad was the first to take non-scientists to Antarctica over 50 years ago, and that he was responsible for paying the first guides in the Galapagos, which set in play their whole conservation and national parks programs there.

Lindblad also has an alliance with National Geographic, so there are National Geographic photographers onboard every sailing.
I hope you can join us on Tuesday to learn more about Lindblad - and - maybe even take a summer or fall vacation to Alaska with them this year. We'll have some terrific offers to share.

2. AMA Waterways - Europe 2022
|
If you missed my Travel Tuesday call with Neil Dudley of AMA Waterways on May 17th, it's worth you watching now. (See above.) I have some great offers if you're interested in going to Europe in 2022 - including roundtrip economy air from 15 Canadian gateway cities - including Ottawa, St.
John's, Halifax, and Victoria (which are often add on secondary gateways.)
I’m also inserting the details of the “more to love” offer, which is on select sailings listed. These are not just shoulder season sailings of November (although there are surprisingly some Douro river sailings then included) - but - include sailings in July-October too.
There is a terrific economy air from 15 Canadian gateway cities, plus land offer and Travel waiver plus. And more! (Including some offers for solo travelers.)
Let me know if you would like to go to Europe this summer or fall. With AMA's terrific dining and service, you'll be in an exquisite moving hotel room that sails through the heart of the countries you want to visit - and enjoy a shore excursion in each port too!
And - if you book with me by Tuesday, I can even add prepaid gratuities!

3. Private Sale with Silversea Cruises June 1st

4. Where My Clients are Travelling This Month
|
I've had 4 different sets of clients on the Rocky Mountaineer this month. The iconic train trip is extremely popular with clients wanting to get moving again. If you haven't done it yet, and are tempted to go this summer, space is extremely limited. But reach
out to me, and we'll see if we can get you onboard.
I also have clients in Alaska, Ireland, and seeing the Grand Prix in Monaco. And I have some clients doing river cruises from Budapest to Passau - with a couple of other clients headed to Newfoundland.
We're starting to reconnect and travel again! And it's wonderful.
