Groups!

Are you looking for a girls getaway to the Caribbean?  How about a wine club tour of France, Italy or New Zealand?  Would your church group like to experience the footsteps of St. Paul in Turkey and Greece?  What about taking a group of your friends to Napa to celebrate a milestone birthday?  How about a family reunion on an Alaskan cruise?  Ski club trip to Vail?  Scrapbooking club River Cruise in Austria?  Choral group trip to Christmas markets in Germany? Foodies group at Walt Disney World food and wine festival?  Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

The possibilities are endless.  We can help with generating ideas, the detailed planning, the marketing and of course getting everyone in your group to where they need to go.  While we work with the group leaders to help craft the whole experience, we also make sure that we meet the needs of individual travellers within the group as well.

and now a word from our sponsors…

Leave a reply

Well it’s not really a word from our sponsors, but more like a word from ourselves.

We are a fully independent “boutique” travel agency.  We do not have sponsors, we do not have quotas, we do not do high pressure sales.  Our agency is located in Wisconsin, but we have clients all across the US.

We really strive to develop more personal relationships with our clients in order to help them make great decisions on amazing vacation options.  We work to find out what is special to them, and then work to make it happen – period.

Real VoyageMost of our posts are about some of the fantastic places we visited, of course with the thought of inspiring others.  But in order to keep the agency healthy –  we will need to send an occasional post out with details on what we feel are special offerings.  These offerings are limited to unique experiences and vacations that we have faith will meet the needs of our clients.

This month we have 4 items that we feel are worth your consideration.

#1 – Sometimes girls just need to GetAway.  We have limited group space (land & air) on hold at the elegant Secrets Capri in Riviera Maya, Mexico.  This is a AAA Four Diamond award-winning property that will provide an excellent break from the frigid Midwest winter.

#2 – Ireland is typically close to the top of everyone’s bucket list and for very good reasons.  Discover what they all are by joining us for an Unforgettable Irish Experience from May 30 – June 9, 2014.  A special $100 per person discount is available for anyone who deposits before September 9, 2013

#3 – All-Inclusive river cruising in 2014.  We recently returned from France where we hosted a group aboard the Uniworld River Royale for a Burgundy & Provence cruise (more blogs on this coming soon!).  Uniworld is currently offering savings of up to $400 per person for some select 2014 itineraries.  If you are new to river cruising, you absolutely must try it.  If you’ve river cruised before, you already appreciate how amazing it is.

#4 – Last but not least are our current specials with Royal Caribbean.  They have some of the most amazing ships at sea with so many activities that there is truly something for everyone on board a Royal Caribbean Cruise.

We thank you for your kind attention, and if there is ever anything we can do to help you or a group of your friends and/or your families have a wonderful vacation experience, please just ask.

Cruise the Galapagos – add it to your list!

There is no place on Earth quite like the Galapagos Islands.  Lying some 600 miles off of the west coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos archipelago is world-renowned for its unique and fearless wildlife.  Giant tortoises, sea lions, penguins, marine iguanas and different bird species can all be seen up close in the wild.

The Islands were claimed by Ecuador in 1832, just 3 years before Charles Darwin visited on the Beagle.  During the 19th and 20th centuries, the islands were inhabited by very few settlers and used as a penal colony which closed in 1959 when the islands were made a national park.  In 1978 they were listed as a World Heritage Site.  The island group consists of 18 main islands, 3 smaller islands and 107 rocks and islets.

galapagosSeeing the sites and wildlife of the Galapagos is best done from the water with Cruises being the only option to see the majority of the remote islands.  All Galapagos Cruises have fixed itineraries that is set by the National Park in order to control the number of tourists arriving at each island.

One of the best cruises available is on the Celebrity Expedition.  This all-inclusive cruise includes:

 

  • All Beverages, including bottled water, beer, wine spirits, coffee, tea and specialty coffee drinks
  • All shore excursions
  • Gratuities
  • Pre and post hotels on 10 night and greater packages
  • Air to/from Quito and Baltra
  • Park entrance fees and Galapagos tourist cards
  • All meals, including room service
  • Snorkeling equipment, including masks, fins, snorkels, wet-suits
  • On board briefings and lectures

We have clients of ours going this year, and think you might enjoy going some time as well.  Be sure to bring a camera!
