Jamaica

 

Looking for a place with friendly people, a relaxed attitude, gorgeous scenery, and delicious food? Look no further than Jamaica.

Best Time to Visit

Jamaica is a year-round destination, so you can go whenever you want. That being said, we recommend visiting November through mid-December when the weather is excellent, and rates are more reasonable.

Highly Recommended Experiences:
  • Hire a private guide to show you around and take you to a local dining spot.

  • Spend an afternoon at Doctor's Cave Beach

  • Take a hike at Dunn’s River Falls

  • Jump off the cliff at Rick's Cafe

  • Play in the waterfalls and try the rope swing at The Blue Hole

  • Ride a horse into the ocean

Mediterranean Cruise

 

Explore multiple European countries in one relaxing trip. Itineraries typically include some combination of Spain, France, Italy, Greece, and even Croatia.


Many cruise lines offer different itineraries, so it can be overwhelming to decide which to choose, but we can match you with the cruise line and itinerary that best fits your travel style.

Best Time to Sail

You’ll want to visit in the spring, summer, or fall, mainly because the Mediterranean sailing season runs April-November, and most businesses in the ports of call shut down during the winter.


Spring is a great time to see colorful flowers but avoid the Easter holidays ... many businesses and attractions will be closed.

Summer is perfect for sunny beach days—but if you want to avoid crowds, avoid July and August.


For wine enthusiasts, consider sailing during the harvest season, usually September- October.

Highly Recommended Experiences:
  • Tour Gaudi’s famously surreal architecture in Barcelona.

  • Dress to impress and visit a casino in Monte Carlo. (Ask me about the dress codes.)

  • Have lunch at a farm in Tuscany.

  • Wander the gorgeous hillside villages of Santorini.

  • Visit an ancient winery.

  • Learn about the local culture on a food tour.

Mexico

 

From Riviera Maya to Los Cabos, Mexico has an incredible selection of all-inclusive resorts where you can relax and play. (We can help you choose the best location for your travel style.)

Best Time to Visit

Mexico is another year-round destination, so you can choose a time that's best for you. BUT beware of sargassum season (April-August). That’s when seaweed washes up in large quantities on the beaches of the Mexican Caribbean. The resorts do all they can to clean it up, but sometimes it’s just not possible. Not to worry, though. We can recommend dates, locations, and resorts where seaweed isn't a big issue.

Highly Recommended Experiences:
  • Relax by the resort pool or your own private pool

  • Go on a snorkeling tour

  • Learn to SCUBA dive

  • Go golfing on a gorgeous course

  • Treat yourself to a spa day

  • Swim in a cenote

Rhine River Cruise

 

Enjoy stunning scenery, drift past castle ruins, visit quaint towns and explore impressive cities ... all in one trip aboard a luxurious floating hotel.

The Rhine—one of Europe’s most beautiful and historic rivers—winds through a total of six countries. Most river cruise itineraries focus on these four: France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Best Time to Sail

April to early June and September to early October are ideal months to sail the Rhine. Summer months are hot and crowded, so avoid those.
If you'd like to see the famous European Christmas markets, choose November or December.

Highly Recommended Experiences:
  • Relax on deck as you pass through the dramatic Rhine Gorge, spotting historic castles along the way.

  • Witness the wonder of your ship climbing uphill as you pass through river locks.

  • Take a wine tasting tour ... or two ... or three.

  • Borrow a bike from the ship and explore on your own.

  • Wander through the tulips at Keukenhof garden near Amsterdam (late March mid-May).

  • Visit the romantic Christmas market in Heidelberg, Germany (late November-late December).
