As you enjoy watching the great events unfolding during these Winter Olympics -why not consider going to the Vancouver area for your vacation this year!  We don't need to tell you much about the obvious beauty you're seeing on the screen -we can only say it's just "so much more" when you're actually there.  The options we can offer you in the area are nearly endless.  Try not to miss Victoria -a real standout.

Of course a huge number of ships sail from Vancouver taking you to the beauty of Alaska.  This is a great year to enjoy this state -we have some great offers & some new products for you to choose from.  We highly recc. if you do a cruise that you should spend a few days in the Vancover area as well.  Beautiful Whistler is only a short ride away & yet you feel a million miles away from the Big City -we can also arrange for you to take a great train there instead of driving(we've done it & highly recc. it).  Speaking of Trains -why not consider one of the most famous ones in the world, Rocky Mountaineer.  The scenery is some of the most magnificent anywhere & you really do travel in style.  We have a number of routes from which you can choose in the Canadian Rockies.  Currently we're offering some extra special values for your Early Booking.

We do work with one of the largest & oldest tour operators in Canada.  This means whatever type of tour you'd like to experience we can handle it for you.  We also have access to the largest buying power in the Canadian Market.  Also keep in mind these trips for a Family Vacation, Group Trip, Reunion, Wedding & any other celebration you may be considering.

So continue to enjoy the Games this month -but remember no matter how great your Big Screen TV is, it can't compare to actually being there.

I think for most of us it's a combination of getting a change, a new perspective, relaxing, having fun & maybe meeting some new people!  Studies have clearly shown that people who do take at least 1 vacation a year do have superior overall health to those who don't!  We've also found that sometimes when one is away from the office -some of the best ideas actually come to you.  I agree with a comment I saw recently about "collecting travel experiences"!  Travel is something we can spend our money on which often gives us "lifetime memories" -rather than consumer goods, which sooner or later break -go out of fashion or become obsolete!

We work with all of the major suppliers & want to choose the best product for you.  If you're very happy with it -you'll come back to us for our expertise!  We do offer the same rates as booking direct will offer you -but we do want you to keep something in mind.  What company of any kind(incl. travel) -isn't going to tell you that they're the greatest?  You need someone in the industry -on your side, giving you the latest information & follow up.  Things change in this industry on an ongoing basis -what may have been true a year ago, may not be the case now!

We had a chance to experience the JEWEL OF THE SEAS recently & as always she really stands out as a great member of the Royal Caribbean fleet!  For those spa lovers out there -this one is among the best we've seen.  For ocean lovers don't worry there are windows everywhere for you to enjoy the sea -even from glass elevators.  You also have a chance to choose a pool fitting your mood as well -either full of activity or very laid back.  If you like to Rock Climb -we can offer that to you, or if you'd rather play a game of billiards the tables await.

Our Children's Program is among the best & there are numerous options for them as well.  We now offer the choice of set Dining with new friend's & the same waiter or Anytime Dining where you can vary it all as much as you wish.  At Royal Cruise World we often have Group Sailings where you'll get better rates & more perks.  This can be used by a whole Group or just the 2 of you.  Don't forget the JEWEL sails from Boston in the Fall -incl. a Caribbean sailing & we have groups on these sailings.

Of course we handle all of the great ships of RCCL -incl. the world famous OASIS OF THE SEAS!  Whether you call us or happen to book thru our website(24/7) -we'll still be here to make your vacation the best it can be.  You deserve it!  Also we do honestly feel the line with the most innovative designs in the main market would be RCCL.  When you can even ice skate in the Caribbean -watch out.  The OASIS is a magnificent ship & an experience not to be missed.  But for those who want a different experience -why not upgrade your stateroom on another RCCL ship to match the "high demand" rates currently on the OASIS.  Talk about having even more fun -you might end up in a Suite or something.  We've sailed in everything from an inside to a top suite over the years -I'd always go no matter what, but there is a big difference in the experience the higher the category.

We recently met with our friend's at GOGO WORLDWIDE VACATIONS!  They are one of the largest Tour Wholesalers in the world & you know we'll be able to offer you the best values -almost anywhere in the world, with this huge buying power.  In addition they also offer great service & quality in their Tours!  Royal Cruise World/RCW Travel will beat any price on the same trip as well.  Why pay the same & settle for so much less service and knowledge -this is what you get with the "Big Box Travel Stores".  As reported in the NY TIMES recently a majority of people are getting tired of doing all the "leg work" for their vacations -but are now looking for good agents to help them out.

If you'd like to experience luxury, but with a modern twist -look no further than Royal Playacar!  It's a great time to experience this top notch destination.  Rates are very favorable right now & be sure to ask about our special offers.

For those who want to vacation "on the edge" -why not consider Temptation Resort for Adults only & for Couples Only look into Desire Resort.  If your passion is Golf -consider Crown Paradise Resort in Puerto Vallarta & the Golf is on us!!!!!!  On the other hand if you'd like to pretend you are vacationing in a Mayan Palace we'd suggest the Select Club by Sandos in Playa Del Carmen.  If you'd prefer to stay in a Mexican Palace instead we'd suggest the Sandos Riviera -no matter what level you book with us, it'll be a suite!

If you'd like to explore Mazatlan -why not consider the magnificent Riu Emerald Bay Hotel, it'll take your breath away.  Go to our Home Page & click on our GOGO Link.  You'll see all the worldwide destinations we can offer you & you'll also see our great rates.  BUT should you find a lower price anywhere -for the same trip, we'll not just match it but beat it for you!!!!!!!!

We recently met with our friend's at Voyages of Discovery.  This is a perfect product if you want a smaller ship, great values, good quality & time to really explore the areas you're visiting!

On most of her worldwide voyages if you book by 2/1/10 you'll save 20% off their already great rates -but also have airfares from only $199. - $399.pp.  If you've looked at airfares recently you've seen how high they can be, even for a simple Florida fare -let alone someplace like Egypt, etc.!

Along with many options all across Europe -why not consider the British Isles Heritage Trail or a real change of pace when you visit Greenland & Iceland.  One of the features we love about this company is Hotel stays incl. both before your voyage and after.  We often have experts aboard to give you even more information on the various places we'll be visiting.  The crew is known for their warmth & great level of personal service.  We often offer great savings to singles & there are dance hosts onboard to add to your fun as well(certain trips).  We even incl. a Safari in your fare -when you book these sailings.  In addition to the Med. -you can choose India, Asia, Africa and so much more.  You can also combine voyages & save even more, for that ultimate travel experience.

We recently met with our Friend's at TI.  Talk about long term connections & buying power -along with Great Quality and you've found the right provider.  We offer a price match feature & cancel for any reason insurance in partnership with them.  Many of you prefer actual Travel Documents -rather than edocs & with TI your wish is our command.  Also keep these Worldwide Vacations in mind for any Group Travel needs -Destination Weddings, Family Reunions, Girlfriend Getaways, Business Mtgs. -You Name It.!

In Mexico there are many Grand Resorts to choose from -one of our favorites is the Valentin Imperial Maya.  You'll stay in nothing less than a suite in the All Inclusive Resort.  If you like the feel of Rich Warm Colors -this is what we celebrate here.  For those who enjoy a cigar -we do offer a Cigar Bar option at this resort as well.

Whether you choose to book with us over the phone -or if you'd like to book 24/7, just go to our Home Page and click "Dream Vacation".  Of course we'll still be here for you to handle your reservation from there, but we do love offering you an option to book anytime you wish.

If you'd like to pretend you're staying at a Celebrity's Mansion on Turks & Caicos -we strongly suggest the Regent Palms.  It doesn't look or feel like a resort at all -what you're doing is visiting your very wealthy friend!  Talk about an amazing location for a Wedding!!!!!!!!

If you're looking for the combination of a very romantic & unique resort -along with an amazing spa.  Ask us about El Dorado by Karisma.  You'll have an amazing choice of suites for all styles & budgets -you'll also have the option of Super Deluxe Casita Bungalow Suites.  You'll swear you've gone all the way to the South Pacific!  Be sure to ask about our Anniv. Packages & other specials for your trip.  Also be sure to ask how a Bride & Groom can Honeymoon Free.  We can offer you many options for your Wedding Location -but one of our resorts even offers it's own Chapel.

On the beautiful island of St. Lucia -if you'd like a smaller very well run resort, with astounding views we'd suggest Windjammer Landing.  It is low key and very warm -but the views are really what sets it apart.  For a larger resort which welcomes families look at Coconut Bay -we always love something a little different.  For anyone with an interest in Paintball Games -we can arrange a great time on this island.

If you'd like to be a little free this vacation -why not check into Hedonism.  We offer Free Weddings here for that party which might like things a little different.  Variety is the Spice of Life.

As you've seen on TV -we love all the Sandals Resorts.  They just exude Elegance & Fun all in one.  However we do have to admit to a real soft spot for the Royal Bahamian!  If you'd like to feel like Royalty on your vacation this year -give yourself a real treat.  Of course the Beaches Division of the company also gives the same level of service to the Family Market -Enjoy it to the fullest.
