The Best Way to Experience Alaska is with Norwegian

There's something about cruising Alaska that fills travelers with awe and exhilaration. Perhaps it is sailing past expansive glaciers glistening in the sunlight. Maybe it's witnessing The Last Frontier's dramatic terrain that transforms from wildflower-studded fields to immense old-growth forests that bow before snowcapped mountains stretching up toward the glow of the Northern Lights, all from the deck of your cruise ship. Or perhaps it's the opportunity to come closer to the diverse range of wildlife claiming the surrounding waterways and storied landscapes as their home. No matter what aspect of Alaska you connect with, one thing is certain — you'll want to soak in as much of the natural beauty and stunning vistas as possible during your cruise vacation.

That's why Norwegian has carefully selected five of its award-winning cruise ships to do just that on a variety of unique and specially-curated itineraries — for you to enjoy immersive Alaska experiences from ship to shore. Our ships are custom-built for the best way to discover Alaska while our extended sailing season allows for unique experiences like viewing the Northern Lights. If you're ready to Break Free and start planning your Alaska cruise, read on to find your ideal ship to explore The Last Frontier.

Feel Free to Let the Outside In

Our larger cruise ships offer some pretty remarkable onboard experiences. Imagine zooming around a two-story race track as a bald eagle soars overhead. Imagine playing nighttime laser tag beneath the shimmering Milky Way or savoring a romantic dinner al fresco as the sun sinks behind jagged peaks. You can do all this and so much more aboard two of Norwegian’s newest ships, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore — custom-built for the spectacular.

After an incredible hike to Mendenhall Glacier, return on board and unwind in the revolutionary 180-degree Observation Lounge with your favorite cocktail or a steaming cup of hot chocolate. The Observation Lounge is located at the front of the ship and features floor-to-ceiling windows, plush chairs, and a full-service bar — the ideal space to watch Alaska’s dramatic landscape unfold before you.

Feel Free to Let the Moment In

Our smaller ships — Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Spirit and Norwegian Sun — are ideal for those seeking a more intimate cruising experience in The Last Frontier. Embark on a longer cruise itinerary set to a slower pace, allowing you more time to be immersed in authentic Alaska experiences.

Want to hang with adorable pups at a dog sled camp? You got it. Daydreaming of the Inside Passage’s extraordinary vistas and wildlife? Bring your camera! Care to explore some of Glacier Bay’s legendary terrain? Lace up those hiking boots and bring the wonder of the surrounding nature back on board with you. Refresh and recharge in the Thermal Spa Suite where your worries will melt away as mountainous vistas fill the floor-to-ceiling windows. Count the nearby glaciers from the comfort of a hot tub. Watch a whale splash in the sea before you take a dip in the top-deck pool. Take walking or jogging to new heights on the top-deck jogging/walking track where The Last Frontier provides an unforgettable backdrop for your workout. Then toast incredible panoramic views from the vibrant Spinnaker Lounge. Along the way, delight in a variety of delicious dining options, from upscale French, Brazilian and Japanese cuisine to casual dishes served poolside. Start your morning with room service breakfast served on your private balcony with a side of breathtaking vistas. Then after returning from unforgettable shore excursions, make each night incredible with live entertainment and music or by rolling into good times at the casino.

Feel Free to Experience Authentic Alaska

Alaska experiences are as seemingly vast as the state’s untouched wilderness. And whether you’re an adventure seeker, nature lover, wildlife enthusiast or history buff, finding the ideal Alaska cruise ship to get you there is a breeze with Norwegian. Our shore excursions will immerse you in unforgettable authentic experiences while our five incredible cruise ships ensure that you won’t miss a moment of the spectacular natural beauty of The Last Frontier during your Alaska cruise.

Mini was the most helpful, professional and experienced travel agent you could ever ask for. I booked a trip initially for about 40 guests for my wedding and she assisted everyone individually with booking, processing everyone’s requests and itineraries as well as last minute cancellations. We had about 4 guests cancel, but she was able to take in 2 new last minute guests and wave the initial deposit (which the 4 guests had already paid for knowing that it was non refundable but couldn’t make the trip anyway). This trip was seamless and stress free! For brides to be looking for destination weddings or even big family reunions, I highly recommend this travel agency, especially Mini. She was exceptional. She had answers for every single person on my guest list (ie. entry requirements, visas or permanent residency passport requirements, all inclusive resort accommodations). She ensured everyone’s questions were answered in a timely manner. She worked with my budget and gave me the best possible resort that was family friendly with amazing food, service and a gorgeous beach. She also connected me to the wedding department which assigned me to a wedding coordinator. Thanks to this wonderful agency for your prompt responses to my emails as well as your patience and guidance assisting my family and friends. We will recommend you all to friends, family and hopefully have the privilege to work with you again soon!

Roundup of the NEW, COVID Insurance Options for Canadian Travellers

Tue, 09 Mar 21 21:09:33 +0000

In less than a month, the landscape for Canadian travellers has been transformed.

Back in March, the COVID-19 virus was determined to be a ‘known factor’ and so it was no longer covered by regular travel medical insurance policies. Since then, Canadians who have wanted to travel have not had coverage for expenses incurred if they contracted the virus while abroad.

All that changed just a couple of weeks ago. With much of the world learning to manage the pandemic, and commonly-accepted safety practices to help prevent the spread of the virus, one of the next key events necessary for a resumption of travel happened:

Travel medical insurance covering Canadians in the unlikely event they contract the virus away from home.

Once the first company announced coverage, it became a landslide. At press time, there are now no fewer than 6 options for Canadians to ensure they’re covered. Here are the highlights:

Air Canada Vacations: 1^st COVID Travel Insurance in Canada – With Limits

Air Canada’s packaged vacation division, Air Canada Vacations created headlines when it announced it would be including free-of-charge insurance for its guests against medical and quarantine expenses related to contracting COVID-19 while travelling.

ACV’s coverage is for up to 21 days and applied only to ACV air + hotel packaged holidays to specific destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean this fall and winter. The initiative is in partnership with global insurance giant Allianz and the program ends in April.

While not the first globally to offer COVID-19 insurance, it was a breakthrough moment for the Canadian travel industry.

It wasn’t hard to predict Air Canada Vacations’ bold move would start a trend.

WestJet: 1^st COVID Insurance Available on Air-Only Bookings to Specific Destinations

Air Canada’s rival WestJet then upped the ante, offering its air-only passengers – not just vacation package guests - no-charge COVID-19 insurance lasting up to 21 days through its provider TuGo.

WestJet’s COVID insurance covers travel to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe including the UK.

And while the first two programs provide coverage on reservations through April, WestJet’s program runs to the end of August 2021.

Manulife: 1^st For-Purchase COVID Coverage in a Standard Travel Medical Insurance Policy

Canada’s largest provider of travel insurance announced its ‘COVID-19 Pandemic Travel Plan’ launching in October. Manulife adds COVID coverage to its standard emergency travel medical policy, with specific additional coverage for COVID-19 medical care and out-of-country quarantine expenses.

It will be available for Canadian travellers to purchase prior to travelling within our borders as well as internationally, including to destinations with a Level 3 Travel Advisory.

Air Canada: follows West Jet, Offering No-Charge COVID Insurance for Air-Only International Travellers

Now both of Canada’s major airlines include COVID insurance for Canadians who purchase flights on either carrier – at no cost to the passengers.

Although Air Canada Vacations’ COVID insurance is provided by Allianz, the airline is providing its air-only passengers with coverage through Manulife. The insurance applies to round-trip, international air bookings made until October 31^st with travel by April 12, 2021.

In addition to coverage for medical treatment and quarantine expenses, Air Canada’s air-only COVID insurance also covers up to $500 CDN for unexpected costs of returning home if the Canadian government travel advisory level in your destination goes from Level 3 to Level 4 while you’re there.

Sunwing: Matching Competitors in No-Charge Coverage

Air-only, as well as beach vacation package travellers with Sunwing, receive coverage included with their bookings made by October 31^st, for travel between October 16^th this year and May 31^st, 2021.

It’s also similar to other options for Canadian travellers, offering coverage for trips up to 21 days for medical, quarantine, transfer and trip interruption costs due to COVID-19 and pandemic-related travel advisory changes.

In addition, Sunwing insurance coverage is supported by medical assistance at all Sunwing resorts, and the company points out, “As the only travel provider that owns the airline its customers fly on, the transfer buses that travel to and from hotels, as well as over 30 hotels throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico, Sunwing’s commitment to safety spans across every step of the travel process.”

Comparing COVID Insurance: Apples to Oranges

All of the travel companies have implemented expansive new health and safety protocols on their own aircraft and with land partners. Their insurance provides coverage for medical expenses, quarantine expenses, some travel and even repatriation of remains due to contracting the COVID-19 virus while traveling.

But not all of these options are the same, and making good choices when you’re choosing to travel and choosing the best insurance option can make a big difference if you do get sick while you’re away.

Questions you should discuss with your Travel Advisor to help determine which of the COVID-19 insurance options available suit your travel needs best:

· Is this available only a package (air + hotel) or will I have the coverage if I book air only?

· How much coverage does this offer in dollar terms? Is that enough for where I’m travelling?

· What are the limitations of coverage? Potential travellers should note that travel to some destinations – including the USA - may not be covered.

· Am I personally eligible for coverage?

· How long am I covered for? Snowbirds looking to spend months in the sun need to look closely at the duration of coverage.

· When does this coverage end? Different policies require you to travel before a certain date.

Insuring a Return to Travel

The travel landscape keeps changing, but it’s safe to say that there will continue to be MORE insurance options for Canadians hoping to travel in the coming months. It’s a key piece of the puzzle to give Canadians confidence when they travel.

We are all still waiting for a COVID immunization option to become available, and when it does, future travel insurance coverage - or even entry visas to certain countries - may require proof of COVID immunization.

While some Canadians may still not feel comfortable travelling yet, like any other travel/medical insurance, COVID-19 insurance is a responsible way for people who choose to travel to be protected against unforeseen expenses.

Planning Ahead - Destination Wedding

Tue, 09 Mar 21 21:09:33 +0000

Saying “I do” to the perfect destination wedding has never been easier!

So you’ve decided that a typical wedding just isn’t your style. Instead, you’d rather tie the knot in a beautiful and intimate beach setting with only your closest family and friends in attendance, celebrating this new chapter of your lives with you. We couldn’t agree with you more!

Plan Ahead

Planning ahead – anywhere from eight to 10 months – for a destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean will allow you plenty of time to find a resort, settle all the details, and perhaps calm any nervousness you may have. Remember that certain times of the year, including holidays, may be more expensive, so be sure you know what your overall budget is and try to stick to it.

Once you have a date set for the nuptials, you and yours should discuss with your local travel professional those places where you’re most interested in getting married. Your destination selection should be a favorite vacation spot, a dream location, or one where you and your guests will be most comfortable and well-cared for.

You can even choose several destinations that you like and think will make a great backdrop to your event. Depending on how involved you would like your family and friends to be, don’t hesitate to ask them for wedding destination ideas. After all, they will be putting in their own money and time to celebrate the big occasion with you. If you already have a few places picked out you can even discuss your picks with them. And if you’re unsure of just where to go, your travel professional can help you find a range of destinations and resorts that match the vision you have for your wedding and well as your budget.

Do make sure that the destination you ultimately choose is readily accessible from the cities your guests will be traveling from. If you select a destination where you don't have direct flights to, or requires multiple connections, this may deter some of your guests from joining in the festivities.

Keep in mind that your local travel professional is your best source for helping you plan and book a destination wedding. It’s important to know that not all resorts or wedding packages are created equal, and the differences between them can be many. Only an experienced travel professional will know which resorts and wedding packages best fit your vision of a romantic wedding and honeymoon.

Everlasting Love

Saying “I do” to the perfect destination wedding has never been easier!

Couples wanting to break away from the ordinary wedding in search of peace, relaxation and romance will absolutely love opting for a destination wedding at an all-inclusive resort. These resorts offer deluxe accommodations just steps from the beach, superb pools, 24-hour room service, unlimited fine dining, cocktails and much more for one set price. Special wedding packages are often an additional cost, but remain vastly cheaper than having your wedding back home. With all this, an all-inclusive resort maximizes romance – and your nuptial dollars – making a beach side destination wedding hard to beat.

CHOOSING A DESTINATION

If your heart is set on all-inclusive luxury, look no further than Mexico and many destinations located throughout the Caribbean. With their sunny skies and endless beaches, Mexico and the islands of the Caribbean offer love birds the perfect refuge for a romantic wedding and honeymoon. They’re also home to some of the absolute best wedding and honeymoon values thanks to their exhaustive array of luxe, all-inclusive resorts where nearly every amenity – from gourmet dining and drinks to watersports and entertainment – is included for one great price.

When it comes to choosing your all-inclusive resort as the home base for your wedding, keep in mind those things you want to experience during your wedding and time there pre- and post-event. Do you want lots of entertainment? Is a gourmet dining a priority? Perhaps a relaxing spa experience is of the highest order?

Because many couples prefer to remain on-site after their wedding, and many guests turn the occasion into a getaway for themselves, staying at an all-inclusive resort provides a relaxed environment in comparison to the traditional weddings where the newlyweds are often have to rush the next day or day after to the airport for their honeymoon.

When it comes to all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean that offer a great array of wedding event options, two of the most highly recommended islands in the Caribbean are Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. These two islands are unmatched by others when it comes to their natural beauty and high levels of service. If your heart is set on Mexico, the Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, and Playa del Carmen are certain to provide the perfect background to an unforgettable wedding. All of these destinations in Mexico are easy to access and there’s plenty to experience in and around theme that you and your guests won’t want to ever leave.

Don’t forget, we can be your top resource for helping you create the destination wedding of your dreams. We are Travel Consultants and we can help you find the picture-perfect setting and resort for your big event, all at the very best possible value. That means you’ll have more time to focus on what’s most important – a lifetime of happiness together.

Campodonico Dominican Destination Wedding!

Mini did an amazing job in getting us set up and executing our family and friends honeymoon trip in November 2017 to Dreams, La Romana, Dominican Republic. There was a large group of us, 28 people, and she did an excellent job in communicating with our friends and family. Had no issues in regards to replying back to emails, and she was very organized, keeping us up to date as to who paid, and who will be rooming with who. This took a load off of my husband and I with planning, that I thought, it is going to be such a headache planning a large trip, but thankfully it was great. Mini was able to provide us information and answer any questions that required communication with the hotel very quickly. Our friends and family stayed for first week, and my husband and I spent another week, in the honeymoon suite. We had an amazing room and special amenities, it was as if we were on a whole new trip, and the hotel treated us great. Mini was able to get us great discounts on the group trip, access to airport lounge, free upgrade to our seating, many hotel freebies and more! Definitely recommend working with Mini in planning your destination wedding, honeymoon and every vacation or flight I need. She is our go to! Thank you for everything Mini and Bains Travel for making our experience unforgettable!

Roundup of the NEW, COVID Insurance Options for Canadian Travellers

In less than a month, the landscape for Canadian travellers has been transformed.

Back in March, the COVID-19 virus was determined to be a ‘known factor’ and so it was no longer covered by regular travel medical insurance policies. Since then, Canadians who have wanted to travel have not had coverage for expenses incurred if they contracted the virus while abroad.

All that changed just a couple of weeks ago. With much of the world learning to manage the pandemic, and commonly-accepted safety practices to help prevent the spread of the virus, one of the next key events necessary for a resumption of travel happened:

Travel medical insurance covering Canadians in the unlikely event they contract the virus away from home.

Once the first company announced coverage, it became a landslide. At press time, there are now no fewer than 6 options for Canadians to ensure they’re covered. Here are the highlights:

Air Canada Vacations: 1st COVID Travel Insurance in Canada – With Limits

WestJet: 1st COVID Insurance Available on Air-Only Bookings to Specific Destinations

Manulife: 1st For-Purchase COVID Coverage in a Standard Travel Medical Insurance Policy

Air Canada: follows West Jet, Offering No-Charge COVID Insurance for Air-Only International Travellers

Sunwing: Matching Competitors in No-Charge Coverage

Comparing COVID Insurance: Apples to Oranges

Insuring a Return to Travel

While some Canadians may still not feel comfortable travelling yet, like any other travel/medical insurance, COVID-19 insurance is a responsible way for people who choose to travel to be protected against unforeseen expenses.
