At last Summer is here! Memorial Day Weekend always kicks off the Summer Fun!

And with the start of Summer comes the time to plan those Winter Cruises. Yes, now is the time to make those plans. Whether it be Panama Canal, or Carribean or Hawaii or even New Year Eve, it is time to make the plans. Ships are in high demand and many people know to get the sailing, cabin location and price they want it, they must book early.

I will always find you the best deal with refundable deposits. There are many prices being advertised that have non refundable deposits and no perks. I will see you get the best possible rates.

Cruising and planning for the next cruise has changed a lot since the pandemic. Those last minute deals where you pick a cruise a month or two out seldom exist. Yes, there is space I can book for you, but the late booking deals and pricing have vanished. I can't encourage you enough to start looking way forward. I have clients booking into 2025!

How about a River Cruise? Yes, there is Viking, but there are several other luxury lines that are more personalized and wellness minded. I am seeing some availability for Fall and Winter and Christmas markets. If you are not familiar with Ama Waterways, take a look at this You Tube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWyD2W54v5g They have some great roundtrip airfares if booked by June 30 and sail in 2023. Ama means LOVE

News from Princess Cruises. The Sun Princess will start sailing Feb 8, 2024. This is the new Sphere class and will have many different venues and entertainment. They will have 3 stage shows choreographed and performed by Cirque teams! The Sun will sail the Mediterranean the Summer of 2024, and them come to the Carribean in Oct 2024. If that is not enough, bookings open for 2025 when the second Sphere class ship joins the fleet and called the Star Princess. If you have dreamed of taking a great Mediterranean cruise on a wonderful new ship, book now before prices go up.
