Yes, it is that time of year when the clocks turn back and we feel the cooler air, not to mention that extra hour of sleep. For cruising this is also a time to turn our attention to Cyber Sales for cruise or travel destinations. Over the past years, everyone would wait for Black Friday to find cruise deals. It was often dollar deposits that drew guest in and the prices were great.  But that is changing. Now the travel companies and cruise lines are using Cyber Sales which as a pre Black Friday sale. The Cyber Sales have better pricing too. So start thinking about your cruise vacation for 2025 or 2026. The farther out you plan the better the savings.

Great Barrier Reef

Destinations to consider for the coming years. Australia and New Zealand are high on a bucket list for many. Yes, it is a distance to fly but very worthwhile the journey. There are several cruise lines that will take you there, depending upon the type of travel you wish. From the luxury lines such as Azamara, Regent Seas and Viking to Carnival, Holland America to Princess or Royal Caribbean. The itineraries are amazing and ports easily navigable.  The time to travel down under is of course during our winter months. November to March is the months that you will find the most ship selection. I can make some recommendations about excursions and how to manage the long flights. Australia and New Zealand are wonderful destinations.

Another great destination that has caught the interest of many people is Antarctica. These cruises take place in our winter months because it is the warmest in South America and Antarctica. You can choose from scenic cruising type or the exploration type. Either one you choose it well worth seeing what I feel the last frontier. The air is amazingly clear and fresh. Your eyes will truly be amazed.

There is increasing interest in Japan by many. The shift from Western to Eastern Culture is amazing. There are again several cruise line that offer voyages to Japan. There are many islands that people want to visit, so take a look at the map and decide where you want to go. I am here to help you.

I have two cruise companies that I can share direct links to their pages. Here you can look at fares and itineraries. Here is a direct link for Virgin Voyages  https://tinyurl.com/3ndmvudz  They currently have some while they last $99 pp sailings. Virgin is also starting to spread out in the globe. Soon you can board them in Seattle for Alaska and New York for Bermuda. 

Another link is for Ama Waterways. I love this river company and I will be sailing their Christmas Markets in Dec aboard the Ama Prima. I will send you pictures of our travels. This will be a 10 night sailing on the Rhine and Mosel rivers. I can't wait.  https://www.amawaterways.com/agent/kathyhayscruises

Enjoy the Fall weather and the time change while thinking of your next vacation! Let's plan your next great memory.
