Virgin Voyages, you were a whole experience. 🚢✨

Stunning ship, the most fun staff, 10/10 cocktails and mocktails, incredible gluten-free and vegan options, and a balcony hammock I already miss.

Our must-dos: brunch at Razzle Dazzle, Up With a Twist and booking the karaoke room with your crew. Not every moment was perfect, but the memorable ones were truly spectacular.

Overall onboard experience: Wonderful ❤️

What have been your standout moments onboard the Brilliant Lady?

Santa Barbara treated our agents so well! We started with a trolly tour with Santa Barbara Trolley Company and really got a taste of what this gorgeous place had to offer.

It turns out Santa Barbara is one of the top wedding destination spots in the USA. We actually saw someone taking their vows at the Courthouse… which is a STUNNING property.

Then we had lunch at Flor De Maiz and wow was it phenomenal. The Mexican food was unreal, the cocktails/non-alc drinks were delicious and restaurant its self was stunning. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you to Visit Santa Barbara for showing us around and creating a lasting memory for our team of agents. We had a great time!

Splendours of the Canary Islands & Authentic Madeira

The first thing you notice is the light. It bounces off black lava, whitewashed villages, and blue harbour water like the islands are showing off. Honestly, they kind of are.

This 10-night sailing aboard Le Champlain is hosted by our own Dean Nelson, and it threads together seven islands shaped by fire and Atlantic wind. Gran Canaria. Fuerteventura. Lanzarote. Tenerife. Madeira. La Palma. La Gomera.

Mornings in volcanic landscapes that look freshly minted by the earth. Afternoons wandering streets with balconies carved like lace. Evenings back on a ship small enough to feel like your own private yacht. Just 92 staterooms, all with private balconies, and the quiet joy of unpacking exactly once.

Included excursions take you into Garajonay and Teide National Parks, plus Madeira's famous levadas and botanical gardens.

📅 November 1 to 11, 2027
🚢 PONANT's Le Champlain, roundtrip from Las Palmas
💰 Group pricing from approx. CAD $7,749 per person
🎁 Plus USD $200 onboard credit per person

Spots on a ship this size go fast. Reach out to Dean Nelson for details.

New episode of Travel Because You Can

Where can you actually see a polar bear in the wild? How do you get up close with a beluga whale? And what does it take to run tours in one of Canada's most remote communities?

This week Darci and Christal sit down with Tamara Mallin, Director of Sales, Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at Frontiers North Adventures, to talk all things Churchill, Manitoba.

Tamara shares the history behind this family-owned Manitoba operator, what goes into running adventures in the subarctic, and why Churchill deserves a spot at the top of every traveller's list. For travel advisors, it's a great look at how to position a truly Canadian bucket-list destination for your clients.

Thank you to our sponsors Personal Travel Management and HOOKED Alcohol-Free Travel.

Some trips feed your camera roll. This one feeds everything else.

Eleven days floating through France's gastronomic heart aboard the 5-star Scenic Sapphire, hosted by our own Cheryl Scremin. You'll cruise the Saône and Rhône rivers from Lyon through Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Arles, Avignon, Viviers, Tournon, and Mâcon, with expert local guides waiting in every town.

A choral performance at Chapelle de la Trinité. E-bikes to wander off on your own. Even a Salt Therapy Lounge, because apparently river cruising can get more relaxing.
