    Reporting from Alaska!

     

    IGT clients Teresa and Mark had an amazing time on Alaska and the Inside Passage in August. Teresa bragged that the staff on the Orion ship was so attentive to every detail. The couple thoroughly enjoyed the different excursions, saying that each one of the guides was very personable and informative. Mark caught the beautiful fish he is pictured with, and they shipped it to their home.  Having fresh, grilled Alaskan Coho salmon was not only delicious, but also a great way to remind them of their wonderful trip. They say they couldn’t have asked for a better experience, which is why they’ve already signed up for another, their 5th Viking cruise! This time, they’ll travel to Portugal and Spain in October of 2025.

    UNESCO World Heritage Sites 

    Our clients love visiting places with special cultural, historical, and natural significance. Many of the shore excursions offered include those places designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Inclusion on the list provides legal protection because of their universal value to humanity. Did you know that more are named every year? Here are 24 new places that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) added in 2024. How many of the 1,223 World Heritage sites have you visited? The complete list can be found here.

    About Imagine Going There Travel

    Carol is a Viking Master Cruise Expert and Group Travel Specialist, and she loves getting people together to enjoy the intimacy and hospitality unique to small ship cruising.

    Consequently, our clients benefit from the “inside information” we have as a result of the great relationships we have developed over the years. They don't have to call an 800-number hoping to get a knowledgeable professional to answer their questions, and are also on the “first-to-know” list for specials and bonuses, all while receiving the signature TLC we put into every trip.

     

    Vacations are the highlight reels of the year, and each one needs to be truly memorable.
