The Rocky Mountaineer is running, and Canadians are going! And - after this week, Americans are starting to travel onboard too!
Do you dream of taking an iconic trip through the Canadian Rockies in a dome window trail - sipping wine as you see the mountains ahead of you, rivers and streams to your left and right, tunnels, bears - oh, and five star dining too?! Then a Rocky Mountaineer trip may be for you.

Here's info on Oceania Labour Day sale that's still on. Upgrade Sale from 9/2 – 9/7.
See the attached details with the list. I have a list of 20 sailings with some special offers. So, if you're looking for an ocean going cruise over the next year or two, you should consider Oceania.
This is an upgrade sale. Here’s why you should consider this:
- Upgrade Sales are few and far between and they offer tremendous value for an Oceania Cruise
- These sales are always very appealing to all cruisers, but especially first time Oceania Guests as it gives them a chance to move up to Oceania at great value!
- Many folks like you really want to move to a smaller ship
- The selected itineraries are on the newly released Regatta and Nautica sailings from Feb – July 2022. Nautica will come back to sea fresh from her re-Inspiration newly refurbished!! It has been hard to find space on 2022 cruses so these sailings offer an opportunity for those who are ready to sail in the first half of 2022.
- Tahiti is always so popular and such a beautiful destination for February!
- Europe in the springtime on Nautica, what could be better?
- Are you and I working on a prior Oceania cruise with FCC? No worries – you might want to consider using you Future Cruise Credits for these cruises too since all FCCs expire at the end of 2022
