Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving to all!

First of all, I want to thank all of you who have joined us on one of our CME trips over the past 21 years. We believe that certain principles distinguish us from any other CME providers. All of our courses are presented live and are fully accredited for health care professionals. We continue to offer evidence based and unbiased presentations. We accept no pharma sponsorship. We pledge to deliver not only the very best CME experiences but also the very best travel experiences to the most sought after destinations as well.

The course content of our medical conferences is based on the extensive surveying we do. Many of the trips we plan are also based on the feedback we receive in our surveys and suggestions from our physicians. We welcome any input.

As many of you know, some of our trips sell out well in advance of departure. In most cases with popular trips, we can't get any additional space. The only answer is to book as early as possible. Upcoming trips for 2017 with extremely limited space include our 14 night Chile & Argentina cruise on the Celebrity Infinity departing January 22, 2017; our 12 night Australia & New Zealand cruise on the Celebrity Solstice departing on February 5th, 2017; and our 14 night Magnificent Europe River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest on the Avalon Illumination departing September 1st, 2017. These trips still have very limited space. If they are of interest, please contact us without delay. Our July 6th trip to Scandinavia and Russia cruise still has space, but is selling very quickly. This has been an extremely popular itinerary over the past few years.

This year, based on your feedback, we introduced two resort based CME trips. Our November 6th trip to Sandals Emerald Bay Resort in Exuma, Bahamas and our November 7th trip to the Doubletree Hilton Resort in Costa Rica sold very quickly. We will be repeating these trips in 2017. Details will be available shortly.

Additional land based trips we have available in 2017 include our Spectacular Spanish Sojurn starting in Madrid on May 22nd and our Midnight Sun Iceland tour based in Reykjavik starting June 3rd. Limited space is available on both these trips.

We heard from many of you following the redeployment of cruise ships we had planned to use for CME's in the Mediterranean in summer 2017. You have told us that you would still like to visit the Mediterranean next year. I am happy to report that we have secured space on the Celebrity Reflection departing from Rome on May 29th on a Western Mediterranean itinerary. Details will be available shortly. Prices for this trip will offer exceptional value. We also have secured space on the HAL ship Westerdam departing from Rome on July 22nd , again on a Western Mediterranean itinerary ending in Barcelona. There will be great rates for families. Again, details will be available shortly.

Thanks again for choosing Sea Courses for your CME AWAY TM . We look forward to meeting you on board a future cruise or ashore at one of our resort or tour conferences. And remember to feel free to share any ideas with us about future trips.
