While leprechauns are distinctly on the wane, there is still something magical about the Emerald
Isle. Perhaps—the ghostly presence of ruined castles and ancient Celtic graves, called dolmens.
Perhaps—the green terrain, combining the rugged with the gently pastoral. Or perhaps—it is merely
the linguistic pyrotechnics of the people, who seem to think—and speak—in metaphor,
impregnating their environment with secret meaning.Emerald Isle! Castles! History! Magic! Romance! |

Grandeur of the Seas
7-Night Canada and New England Cruise from Boston
7 nights from $699 (USD)—Visit a land brimming over with history. See the majestic beauty
of the coastline, landmark lighthouses, quaint seaside towns and unspoiled wilderness. Uncover
history around every turn of Boston's famous Freedom Trail and along the walls of the Citadel,
Halifax's 19th-century bastion fortification. Be inspired by the same powerful seascapes in
Portland, Maine, that gave poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow his muse. The stories unfold along
the sea.
Norwegian Majesty
Bermuda Cruise from Boston
7 nights, oceanview cabin, from $799 (USD)—Discover the Caribbean aboard the
Norwegian Majesty. Visit Bermuda in the Atlantic, over 500 miles east of North Carolina, and
discover a romantic destination rich in British cutsom and island heritage. Come see the pastel
houses, "wedding cake" roofs, pink sand beaches and the only golf course in the world with a
tradewind hazard. This lush tropical island is an earthbound heaven.
Ryndam
7-Day Mexican Riviera Cruise
7 nights, oceanview cabin, from $719 (USD)—Seeking a vacation with a touch of
international intrigue that's also close to home? Think Mexico - friendly, festive and just far
enough away to escape routine. Shopping for shiny silver bracelets one day, trolling for
trophy-size marlin the next. All while enjoying the spacious surroundings and award-winning
service of your luxurious Holland America ship. And did you know? Every winter, and estimated
15,000 gray whales migrate from their summer feeding grounds in Alaska to breed and give birth
in the balmy "birthing bays" of the Baja's Pacific Coast.
Viking Europe
European Adventure - Amsterdam to Vienna
12 nights from $2689 (USD)—In addition to the beautiful Rhine River, this 12-night
adventure through the heart of Europe also cruises along the charming Main and Danube Rivers,
visiting historic regions in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. This river cruise exploration
sails amidst some of Europe's loveliest countryside, encountering history and tradition in every
port. Don't miss the breathtaking views as you navigate through Austria's delightfully scenic
Wachau Valley, and in Southern Germany, visit some of the most perfectly preserved medieval
towns and villages. Enjoy the allure of Vienna, Nuremberg, Mainz, Regensburg and Amsterdam.
It's a journey not to be missed.
Wind Star
7 Day Tahiti Cruise
7 nights from $2995 (USD)—What can we tell you about a Windstar cruise in Tahiti? That it's
an experience that will spoil you for other vacations? That it is romantic and luxurious and
liberating? It is all that and more. You breeze past fruit vendors and shell sellers down to the
picturesque harbor in Papeete, in the middle of which, with tall white masts, is a ship. Not one of
the common boats dancing on buoys: she's sleeker, sportive, more yacht-like and fine. It's hard to
imagine a more perfect pairing than this place and this ship.
Marco Polo
Connoisseur's Europe - London to Lisbon
13 nights from $1795 (USD)—If Europe's glittering capitals are a feast for the mind, then the
countryside is a banquet for the senses. Here you will find storybook castles and scenic beauty,
medieval villages and art masterpieces, regions of renowned vintages and epicurean delicacies,
and churches that provide a glimpse into the soul: Romanesque basilicas, miraculous shrines and
glorious Mont St. Michel in Normandy.
Infinity
12 Night Hawaii Cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu
12 nights from $1300 (USD)—Romantic Hawaii is waiting for you! As you close your eyes
and reminisce on your private veranda, the crimson sun dips slowly into the endless horizon. You
bask into the last remnants of golden light. Sipping a fruity drink, your mind journeys back to the
day's events. You smile at the notion that you spent the entire day in only a bathing suit and
sandals. The traditional coconut-braided hat that dips low on your head is an indication of found
treasures. Reaching for the fragrant lei around your neck, you wonder how to prolong this
dream.

Ecology—Truk Lagoon, along with Palau, offers greater underwater bio-diversity than any other location on this water planet. Marine biologists conclude that perhaps this area was, and maybe still is, the original Garden of Eden where marine life began.

fortifications on other islands.
