Regent: Voyager - Apr 30-May 14, 2008
Bermuda's seven principal islands have been completely tamed. Its 21 square miles are almost suburban in character, with pastel-colored cottages fronted by manicured lawns. Bermuda's culture is exceptionally civilized -a direct influence of its English heritage. Cricket is the national game, the judges wear white wigs and tea is served every afternoon in this self-governing British colony. In the interest of maintaining the island's serenity, the maximum speed limit for motorized vehicles is 20 MPH. And because of its tiny size, rental cars are not allowed on Bermuda.
Seabourn: Eastern Mediterranean May 13-24, 2008
Seabourn has a very interesting itinerary with a combination of ancient and new sites. You begin with the old in Egypt and you can merely sample the sites to be found in close proximity to Cairo and Alexandria (not to be missed are the pyramids and sphinx, the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, and the Grand Bazaar), or you can add a Nile cruise to your journey. The Seabourn cruise from Alexandria will take you to the old favorite Greek Islands of Santorini, Mykonos and Rhodes, and then some off the beaten track islands, the Peloponnesian Pennisula, and the awesome passage of the Corinth canal. One Seabourn officer recently told me that this Corinth Canal passage was one of his favorite travel experiences ever!

Join us for eleven days of natural beauty, cultural experiences, fabulous snorkeling, or just total relaxation aboard the Paul Gauguin, which has been voted over and over the #1 favorite ship of discriminating cruisers.
Regent: Russia & the Baltic - Aug 16-23, 2008
Russia was my destination in November, and like my earlier trip there several years ago, I found it to be one of the most exciting of all destinations! It has so many lavish palaces, exotic brightly colored onion dome steeples, incredible works of art by world renown artists and totally unknown Russian artists, one of the most serious musical heritages anywhere, and now can offer luxurious accommodations and delicious food. Add to the mix the history of the tsars and their tragic end, the years of Lenin, Stalin, and the recent heads of state, and the deaths and deprivations the Russian people suffered at their hands, and witness the new exploding economy and the new capitalist society that is changing daily, and you will understand why there is so much excitement to be found when you visit Russia!!
Regent: Alaska - Aug 20-27, 2008
If you have not been to Alaska, here is your opportunity! You can have free coach flights, and a complimentary Virtuoso Voyager Club excursion and a cocktail party on this sailing! Your Voyager Club excursion will take you on a small boat, where you will go in search of humpback whales, Orca whales, harbor seals, Stellar sea lions, Dall porpoises, Sitka black-tailed deer, and bald eagles.
Crystal: Italian Treasures Sep 12-14, 2008
We love Italy. We love the architecture and the feeling of antiquity it evokes; we love the smiling happy people as they work and as they play; we love Mama Mia's delicious food; we love the Chianti and the vin santo and the lemoncello; we love the incredible treasures of art to be found there—more than in all the rest of the world combined!!; we love the charming boutiques full of silks and leather and jewelry and all the other little things a woman finds adorable; we love the warmth of the sun shining on our faces; we love the narrow winding streets with surprises around every turn; we love the photo opps we constantly encounter; we love the multitude of ruins dating back to pre-historic times; we love the chance meeting and connection with an Italian stranger and the glimpse into his life. Most of all we love the romance of visiting Italy. Italy is entoxicating. Italy will draw you back over and over. Who could not love Italia?!
