In celebration of National Small Business Week, we're reflecting on big adventures – like my spring break trip to Sicily & Venice, where I learned the art of olive oil tasting (hint: it's not like wine!) See video below. Culinary travel is on the rise and we've responded! See "Focus on Food" for two special offers.

Perhaps you've heard of some newfangled language to describe different types of trips. For example:

Bleisure: A trip that blends business and pleasure. If you can tack on vacation days to a meeting, do it! We'll make recommendations to maximize your time.

Coolcation: In response to record-high temperatures, clients are vacationing in colder climates. There is still availability for Alaska summer '24. Also, receive 20% on Aurora Arctic expeditions when you book by 6/30/24. For cool inspiration, see a client's Antarctica highlights below.

Destination Dupes: Alternatives to locations that can be overcrowded and expensive. Consider Slovenia, still Europe but far less crowded and more affordable! More ideas are on our website.

Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and visit our website for offers, destination ideas and helpful tips.

Thank you for your trust and business, referrals are the greatest compliment.

Sincerely,

Jessica Griscavage

Where we've been:

Jessica and Mariah embarked on a memorable journey from Barcelona to Rome aboard the Windstar Legend. With just 312 passengers on board, the ship's high staff-to-passenger ratio ensured an exceptionally intimate and outstanding service experience. The advantage of sailing on smaller ships like this allowed us to access destinations that larger vessels cannot reach without tendering. This meant we could dock closer to the shore, this provided breathtaking views for us of Nice. For future travelers, I highly recommend considering the off-season for your voyage, as it promises smaller crowds and a more exclusive experience.

Jen Waigand discovered the charm and intimacy of smaller Relais & Chateaux properties in the south of France. This area is renowned for its stunning landscapes, majestic castles, and rich cultural heritage.

Next we are off to: Bermuda on NCL  • Zimbabwe & Botswana African Safari • Maui (Marriott Luxury Brands Partner Meeting) • Explora Journeys sailing to Greece • St. Lucia • Cabo

"This was a cruise unlike any other we have had. On most other cruises, guests had different objectives as they all selected their own experiences each day. On an Atlas Antarctica cruise, the entire ship from crew to passengers were unified in one mission--the exploration of Antarctica. This dynamic was something we've never witnessed on any cruise and was invigorating as each day we awoke as one team ready for the adventures to follow."

"The last night of the passage, we gazed in wonder at a few icebergs spied in the distance and exclaimed with glee at the sight of whales. We now laugh at how excited we were at these sights as the next morning we found ourselves completely immersed in all that Antarctica is. On board, the Atlas Navigator proved itself to be worthy of the word luxury."
