Join us on the beautiful Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas Eastbound Trans-Atlantic sailing from Galveston to Barcelona. This is the annual repositioning cruise which returns the Voyager to Europe for the summer. This year, the crossing is later in the season (May) which should promise favorable weather. And what a bargain! An inside cabin is just $42.00 a day! Or how about a good balcony cabin for just $77.00 a day! You can't afford to stay home for that!
There's port stops in Ponta Delgada, Azores; Malaga, Spain; and Cartagena, Spain. The other ten days are spent at sea. There seems to be a great deal of interest in this cruise, and a number of Ranch people have already signed up.
Once in Barcelona, you'll surely want to spend several days exploring that wonderful city. Other options being considered by some of our travelers include taking a special night train (Elipsos Train Hotel) with a sleeper cabin from Barcelona to Paris, and returning to DFW from Paris. (you could spend a few days in Barcelona and then a couple of days in Paris). Or, stay on the ship for the next 6 day voyage from Barcelona to Venice, with port stops in Provence, France; Liverno for Florence and Pisa; Civitavecchia for Rome; Messina (Sicily); and Venice. For Med cruises, the price of this is really quite reasonable.
Arrangements for this trip are being handled by Rob Nelson of Travel Leaders of McKinney. For more information or to book, contact Rob at 972-529-5263 or nelsontravel@hotmail.com
