Summertime makes me think of water. It's the Newfoundland roots. Especially since I'm home now visiting my mom and extended family. And water makes me think of cruising.
Here's a picture of my mom onboard an Oceania cruise she and I did together. We had a marvelous time.
Ah, cruising.
Or should I say cruisin'.
Are you thinking of the Smokey Robinson song now? Got it stuck in your head? Well, if the mention of Smokey's song doesn't give you that ear worm (where the song is stuck on repeat inside your brain), see below for the Huey Lewis and Gwenyth Paltrow remake of the famous song.
Are you a cruiser? Have you done 100s of cruises, or never one but want to? Perhaps you feel like you've seen it all, and want a new destination - or - maybe you're nervous to even try, fearful of sickness?
Either way, I have a cruise for you. Whether you might be interested in the 57 day ocean cruise I just booked with Cunard sailing from Sydney to Southampton for two solo ladies, or whether you,d like the river cruise of the Nile I've booked with clients on Viking, or perhaps a Quark expedition cruise to Antarctica I've booked for a couple of ladies. There are smaller expedition cruises that are also river cruises on the Amazon, such as the one I have a client on in November, or expedition
cruises to Galapagos or Costa RIca. And there are large ocean ships that sail around the Caribbean with 6000 people so that you're sailing in a moving mall.
Whatever your interest, there is something for you.

This week, I had a great show with G Adventures .
G Adventures & National Geographic Journeys partnered with Lush Life Travel for a great info session about their style of travels and types of trips.
My business development manager Laurent Pinci joined us to share their top 10 destinations (including South Africa, Peru, Morocco, Costa Rica, Thailand, Italy, and more); and took us through their different styles of travel (such as National Geographic Journeys, Classic, Marine, Local Living, Active, and more.)
We also gave an overview of their "travel for good" Planeterra programs, with both me and several clients chiming in on their experiences with G Adventures.
I just had a small group return from an Explore Machu Picchu group, and they had a wonderful time. So at the presentation, we had a brief chat about some future small group trips we may take this coming year. Perhaps South Africa with G Adventures is in your future? Maybe Morocco? Machu PIcchu? India? Thailand? We're still gathering info and thoughts, so please let me know if this might interest you.
But -regardless of what we do on the customized group end, I can also book you and yours on an existing G Adventures group. And I can extend my show offer (see photo) to you if you want to book a G trip before July 31st. T&C apply, but it's $150 off. Book by July 31st with me. Travel by March.20
Let me know if you'd like to have a chat, and get you on a G trip
