CRUISE...
Whether you’re planning a family vacation for summer or considering a
getaway to an exotic destination or starting to think “where” shall we go
for the holidays – whatever and where ever you are considering – we can
get you there. Your options may include a fun, family vacation on the
high seas, a vacation on a Hawaiian island, a holiday river cruise along the
festive waterways of the Rhine River and the canals of Amsterdam. Or, if
you’re thinking unique and unusual, consider the exotic and intriguing
Galapagos or the mystical and unexplored regions of Indo-China and
Latin America, or somewhere in between or beyond! Please give us a call
or stop by. We’ll help you put your travel plans in motion.
AMAWaterways
Let’s put “getting away for the holidays” on your “horizon” for 2013!
If you have never traveled on the continent during the holiday season,
then you are in for a very special – and festive – experience. Hundreds
of Christmas markets magically come to life in city and village squares
throughout Europe beginning in late November. The history of these
beloved street markets dates back to the late Middle Ages, when the
winter solstice was a frightening time for the local villagers. Created to
help “lighten” not only the dark nights that prevailed, but to “brighten”
one’s mood, holiday markets and festive public performances quickly
became a welcome tradition. Today, millions of us flock to holiday
markets throughout Europe – eager to wander through the vendor’s stalls
and inhale the sweet, spicy scents of mulled wine, piping hot cinnamonapple cider, freshly-baked gingerbread and sizzling sausages. In addition
to decadent seasonal treats, we can find ornate, hand-made Christmas
tree decorations, handcrafted toys, dolls, old-fashioned wooden crafts,

A CRUISE VACATION:
A HIGH SEAS ADVENTURE – PERFECT FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!
It’s paramount that the entire family has fun on vacation, and cruise ships make this
possible. Family-friendly ships are teeming with services and facilities that keep kids of
all ages engaged, including amenities such as movie theaters, rock climbing walls, skating
rinks, golf lessons, cooking classes, art and photography classes.
A family cruise also gives your youngsters a
chance to learn about the world first-hand.
Perhaps you have a budding marine biologist,
artist, archaeologist, historian or geologist in
your family. You can encourage that passion by
snorkeling the reefs of Cozumel, touring the
Sistine Chapel in Rome, or climbing the steps
of the Mayan ruins near Cancun.
We’ve highlighted some of the activities and
programs available on different cruise lines.
Please give us a call or stop by. We look forward
to helping you and your family plan this year’s
perfect “Family Cruise Vacation.”

Meet Lucy Hicks in our Group & Incentive Department.
Have you ever had 10+ people all traveling together?
Whether it’s a corporate incentive, family or leisure group, Lucy is the
person to speak to. Putting together a group has its own challenges and
complexities however many vendors offer group discounts and
special amenities for “buying in bulk,” making group travel affordable.
Lucy has been in the group and incentive business for over 25 years so
we asked her to tell us some of the fun and unique groups she has set up for clients:
• My first time to Italy was to escort a group of 50 top franchisees. That is where
I discovered Cappuccino and my life has not been the same since.
• We organized 300 insurance executives to South Africa for 10 days. The location
and safari were absolutely superb and the client was thrilled by how we made each of
the winners feel special with little unexpected touches and creativity.
• 20 family members flew to Mexico for a reunion at a remote resort. They wanted
activities not found in such remote areas so we brought in a vendor who arranged
fishing, ATVing and whale watching-all for very little more.
Carrousel Travel

is proud to be a 3-time winner of

Silversea Cruises’ Galapagos
Eco-Adventures and More!
Planning a family vacation in today’s
busy, hectic world requires much more than
loading the family in the station wagon,
and taking off on a road trip with just a
map and full tank of gas. Family travel
today often involves multi-generations –
with each family member eager to learn,
grow, and to connect with one another as
each experiences new places, cultures, and
opportunities. The world of family travel
has become an educational and engaging
opportunity to learn how other nationalities,
cultures, and creatures exist and thrive.
And, in our opinion, one of the best
opportunities to grow and learn is through
Silversea Cruises’ exciting new 7-day
Galapagos Eco-Adventures. Indeed, “an
experience like no other,” Silversea will
launch the Silver Galapagos this September
for yet another fun and educational cruise
opportunity. Grandparents and grandkids
alike can get “up close and personal” with
the Giant Tortoises or Blue-Footed Boobies.
Cruising to destinations inaccessible to most,
you and your family will encounter wildlife
found nowhere else on earth. Excursions
include Zodiac cruises, guided nature hikes,
snorkeling, and incredible photo ops. The
Galapagos voyages can be easily extended

to include optional land tours to Machu

In addition to the new Galapagos year-round

Antarctica (our winter). This is the ultimate
opportunity to bring the entire family
together and engage in a vacation that will

itinerary.) Asia and Indo-China itineraries

Micato Safaris’ Private Invitation
Safari... The Perfect Family Vacation!
Imagine your family’s response when they view
the magnificent vistas of Africa for the first time.
Imagine how special it would be to see and
experience this majestic destination with people
who have spent their entire lives exploring the
sweeping savannahs, studying the wildlife, learning
the secrets of this vast land, and who know Africa
like no one else. Imagine your family being very
special guests who have been afforded this
once-in-a lifetime opportunity to experience what
a “real” safari is; to see and hear and feel what most
of us could only imagine. This is Micato’s Private
Invitation Safari. As Travel+Leisure Magazine’s
9-Time #1 Winner as the “World’s Best Safari
Outfitter,” Micato has no equal – and this superb
custom-designed itinerary is a prime example why
Micato sits alone at the top for outstanding service,
itineraries, accommodations, and “everything” else
that goes into planning and executing the perfect
safari experience. You will have no schedule, so you
and your family and traveling companions are free
to arrange mealtimes and activities as you choose.
As a special feature of this exclusive program, you
will have your own personal guides (camp owners
and staff ) for each segment of your walking safari
in the bush – each highly-knowledgeable about the
wildlife and area you are seeing. Highlights of this
unique itinerary (which commences and ends in
Nairobi), include a visit to the Daphne Sheldrick
Wildlife Sanctuary where orphaned elephants live,
a trek through Hemingway’s legendary “Green
Hills of Africa” in the Chyulu Hills, a stay at
Kicheche Bush Camp – an intimate six-tent retreat
on the Maasai Mara – where early-morning game
drives may bring sightings of the big cats –
common in this area; and a stay at Dunia Camp
in Tanzania – a magnificent venue that is situated
between the prime wildlife areas of the central and
southern Serengeti. It’s all this and more. Please
call us for details, pricing, and departure dates.
If ever you have considered a family vacation that
would truly be a once-in-a lifetime opportunity –
this is it.
