🚢 It’s time for another Sunday Escape Finds!

Today I’m excited to spotlight something special from Norwegian Cruise Line just for our first responders. As a thank-you for the courage, dedication, and service that keep our communities safe, NCL has launched an exclusive First Responder Cruise Discount.

Verified first responders can now save 5% on all cruise fares, year-round, or choose 15% off select sailings and staterooms, with savings that can be combined with NCL’s current promotions, including Free at Sea™ and Free at Sea Plus™ (think specialty dining, Wi‑Fi, drinks, and more).

Eligible first responders include certain U.S. and Canadian emergency and public safety professionals such as EMTs, paramedics, law enforcement, firefighters, and some federal agents, verified through ID.me. Once verified, the discount is tied to your NCL account so it automatically applies when you book.

If you or someone you love is a first responder and has been dreaming of a well, earned escape, to the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, or beyond, this is a great way to get extra value on a future cruise.

Have questions about eligibility, how to verify, or which sailings offer the 15% savings? Reach out to Kori at Alpine Escape Travel at [email protected] and I’ll help you walk through the details and find the right NCL cruise to make the most of this offer.

🌎Around the World Wednesday: U.S. Steps Up Ebola Precautions

The U.S. is taking additional precautions as health officials monitor Ebola concerns tied to an outbreak in Central Africa. While this is not a reason to panic, it is a good reminder that travelers should always stay aware of destination alerts and health guidance before heading overseas.

Ebola is not spread through casual contact like sitting near someone on a plane, but travelers should still be smart about where they are going, what health notices are in place, and whether extra precautions are recommended for the region they are visiting.

If you are traveling internationally, a few good habits include:

Checking the latest travel advisories before you go.

Watching for health notices that may affect your destination.

Following guidance from your doctor or public health officials if you are headed to an area with current outbreaks.

Staying informed, especially if you are traveling through parts of Africa or connecting through major international hubs.

This is one of those situations where being informed is the best travel protection. I always recommend checking destination updates before any international trip so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind.

For the full article see below.

The CDC has announced travel restrictions and enhanced screening to prevent the spread of an Ebola outbreak from central and east Africa to the U.S., declaring non-U.S. passport holders from affected regions may face entry restrictions.
