I LOVE New England in the fall, don't you?
NCL has a really great offer right now-kids sail free-for this coming end of September departure-perfect for fall color.
Balcony cabins begin at $2239 per person.
I'd suggest adding time in Boston, either pre or post cruise, and do some American Heritage sight-seeing as well.
What do you think? It's under $5k per couple and includes the open bar package, 3 meal specialty dining, excursion credits, wifi credits, second passenger cruise fare is free (!) -it's a pretty terrific offer but VERY limited space. Please call today.
Sept 27-Oct 4, 2026
Bar Harbor is GORGEOUS

Christmas on the Douro. 🎄🍷

Portugal is beautiful any time of year, but there’s something special about seeing it dressed for the holidays.

Twinkling squares. Local Christmas traditions. Vineyard-covered hillsides. And the Douro winding through it all.

Sail with Avalon Waterways and experience a different kind of European Christmas, with FREE Air or savings of up to $3,000 on select cruises during the Time to Cruise Sales Event.

Ready to spend Christmas, Portuguese style?

🚄 JAPAN IS CALLING—and it is NOT waiting at the station! 🇯🇵

Collette’s brand-new Journey Through the Heart of Japan is 12 exhilarating days of color, culture, ancient traditions, incredible food and pure, joyful energy!

You’ll experience:

🥋 A private sumo experience
🗻 Magnificent Mount Fuji
🔥 A traditional Goma fire ritual
🚄 Japan’s famous Shinkansen bullet train
🍣 A hands-on sushi-making class
⛩️ Kyoto’s breathtaking Fushimi Inari Shrine
🎋 The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
🥁 A lively taiko drumming lesson
🦌 The famously friendly deer of Nara Park
🏯 Two nights in a traditional ryokan
👘 A shabu-shabu dinner and geisha experience

Let’s be clear: this is not a slow stroll through Japan. It is a fast-paced, high-energy, Level 4 adventure created for active travelers who are comfortable walking several miles, navigating uneven ground and filling their days from morning to night.

Japan is one of the hottest travel destinations, and this tour has only six departures between March and May 2027. That means the time to think about it is short—and the time to act is right now.

If you’ve been waiting for Japan, this may be your train.

🚄 All aboard—before it leaves the station without you!

Send us a message for dates, pricing in and availability. Tour prices start at $7199 per person and vary depending on date of departure. Highest cost is $7399 per person.

❤️ Why I Became a Travel Agent

I get asked sometimes why I became a travel agent, and honestly, it really comes down to two things… I love to travel, and I love helping people. ✈️🌴

Some of my best memories have been made traveling with my family and friends. There’s just something about getting away, exploring somewhere new, laughing until your stomach hurts, and making memories you’ll talk about for years.

I wanted to turn my love of travel into something I could share with others. I truly enjoy helping people find that perfect trip, taking the stress out of all the details, and watching their vacation dreams come together.

And when my clients come home and tell me what an amazing time they had… that’s the part that makes me love what I do even more. ❤️

I’m so thankful that something I love has turned into a business I’m passionate about.

I don’t just book vacations. I help people make memories. 🌎✈️
