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!

Looking for the Perfect Valentine’s gift?

Swim in the warm waters of the Caribbean!

You know you are! So what are you going to get that special person? Sure you could get them chocolates or waste your money on flowers.

Yep, you could do that.

But why would you when you could………BUY A TICKET TO THE CARIBBEAN! Yes it sounds expensive, but here’s the best part – it isn’t.

Sail from Tampa, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico with the Royal Caribbean Cruise line for four days in a State Room (i.e. nothing but the best for your loved one) for just $529 per person.

And if you’re feeling even more adventurous and depending on how much you have to save things, you could splurge on the Love Affair package for an additional $327 per couple.

The package includes: Private Cocktail Parties – Special Gifts – Couples Workshops on Romance, Finance & Commun- ication – Wine & chocolate covered strawberries in your stateroom – Private Events – and more…

But this cruise is not just about, perhaps, salvaging a relationship or strengthening one, it’s also about visiting a new place.

Cozumel

Explore the ruins’s park in Cozumel or the markets festooned with the local and native produce! That is if you can get yourself away from the pristine beaches.

You’ll be happy you do book this, especially if you do through CTravel who are you local experts on cruises and ensuring you get the best deal!

Since today’s post is all about cruises and because those are where the best deals are these days of economic tightening, why not treat yourself to a second one (after Valentine’s of course) and sail with the Norwegian Cruise Line!

Only it will have to be a small treat because the cruise will only set you back $399 per person for seven days!!! Well that’s for an inside room. If you really want to up your game then you can book the balcony for $599 per person. That is still an incredible savings.

7-Day Eastern Caribbean from Miami Norwegian

For seven days sail in pure luxury from Miami to Nassau to St. Maarten to St. Thomas and ensure you get the best deal you know you need to contact CTravel!

Of course if you’re looking for something a bit more exotic and long distance there is really only one cruise for you: The Baltics!

Yes for just $106 a night per person you can sail from Copenhagen, Denmark to Stockholm, Sweden, Tallinn, Estonia, St. Petersburg, Russia, Helsinki, Finland and Warnemunde, Germany over nine days.

Cruise the Baltics

You would set sail on June 4th and return on June 13th into Copenhagen for the prices starting at $949! What are you waiting for?

Oh the temperatures?! Well have no fear, by then the weather should be warming and the ice should be melting. Heck it’s June right. The average temperature in Stockholm is 70 degrees (Fahrenheit of course).
