I’m leaving Bermuda on a …….cruise?

 

Queen Victoria

You could! How cool would that be? Don’t worry about a plane….don’t worry about liquids in your carry-on…don’t worry about how heavy your bags are!

All those worries can disappear as you step onto the Cunard’s Queen Victoria Ports of Call cruise line leaving from Bermuda on April 30.

Where are you going to go? Start by sailing to Ponta Delgada in the Azores before heading to Lisbon, Portugal and the Cork, Ireland, Le Havre, France and finally Southampton, England.

The entire voyage is 12 days and you’ll be left in England to decide what you want to do! Head home? Sure you could. Or you could continue exploring the continent!

You’re choice and since the cruise only cost you $2,990 per person (the starting rate) you may have some pennies to play with!

Though I remember one of the best ways I have ever returned to Bermuda. It was by boat.

Not any old boat, either. It was on the Italian naval vessel, The Amerigo Vespucci. This stunning vessel was sailing around the Atlantic Ocean and I was lucky enough to join them on the portion that took us from Cadiz, Spain to….home, Bermuda!

Reefs crept around us, the blue water welcomed us and the island snuck over the horizon….it was so good to be home.

And now you could have a similar chance on the Celebrity Summit cruise. Ok, so it’s not a tall ship, but it’s still a beautiful boat that will pick you up in San Juan, Puerto Rico take you to St. Maarten before St. Thomas and then Tortola before finally arriving in….BERMUDA!

Even better? the rates start at $830 per person for this seven day cruise. Of course you’d have to get to San Juan which is why if you book this through CTravel you can get a great deal on your cruise and the flight!

Board a plane!

Of course flights are all the rage if you need a weekend away and there are plenty of flight deals going on now. So maybe you don’t want to go to NYC with the snow they’ve got, but what about visiting Orlando, Florida for just $278?!

Or go to Canada? Well, ok, so it might not be particularly warm there, but at least there’s skiing, right?

Of course CTravel has the agent to help you with that…..Brenda Warwick!

Fly to Toronto for $296 or to Montreal for just $304! An hour from Montreal and you’re into the mountains and on the slopes.

Just remember to either visit CTravel’s website quickertix.com or their main website CTravel!

Ski Vail, Colorado for the price of lunch!

Skiing!

Yep it’s true! You can ski in Vail, Colorado for $14.21 a day! It’s true. Yep. Ok so maybe it’s lunch with a drink and dessert, but it’s not a stretch at Bermuda prices.

It’s the latest deal from Brenda Warwick, our CTravel ski expert! For just $199 you can ski for a week in Vail during the second snowiest month of the year ….. April! Imagine flying through the powder of the top ski vacation destination for the price of lunch in Bermuda!

This crazy deal also covers the period of spring break! Yep, from April 10th until April 24th, Vail is offering great deals on ski lifts.

Not only can  you ski for $14 a day, but you can also experience the parties! I mean really….isn’t apres ski the best part of the day??!

Well make sure you book the ski pass through Brenda Warwick who can also help you find the right resort for your ski trip!

Are you worried about how much it is going to cost you to fly to Colorado? You’re right from Bermuda, traveling further than the East Coast can get costly as well as tricky with combining flights!

Have no fear CTravel is here for you too! Book your vacation by January 13th and you will be able to fly to Denver, Colorado for $372!  From Denver, public transportation is easy, cheap and frequent to Vail so this is perfect!

Ok so these reduced prices are mid-week and depends on your carrier, but if you contact an agent at CTravel you know they’re going to find the best deal for you! And without you having to stress or spend hours negotiating those airline sites (expedia, hotwire, etc…) which have now dropped American Airlines.
