WINDSTAR’S WIND SURF –
CRUISE OFF THE BEATEN PATH
We
were in St. George’s, Grenada, having just walked through the busy
tunnel to get to the other side of the city, when we saw a blind man
standing at the corner feeling around with his white cane, but helpless
against the traffic hurtling by. Another islander walked up and offered

Shirley Linde's Cruise Letter
Cruise News
Well-known travel journalist Shirley Linde writes
of unique voyages and special offers of ships all
over the world
ANTARCTICA -- Hurtigruten, formerly known as
Norwegian Coastal Voyage, is offering savings of
$1,000 to $3,600 per person on five Antarctic
expeditions in 2008 and 2009 with itineraries
ranging from 13 to 22 days. The cruises are on
expedition ship Fram and include Marguerite Bay,
home to the only known breeding colony of emperor
penguins on the west side of the Antarctica
Peninsula. With the discount, fares range from
$5,799 to $15,599 per person.
SAFARI
CRUISE IN INDIA --
Value
World Tours
is offering a discount of $500 per person on two
sailings to introduce their new river cruise in
India. A 10-night safari cruise goes on the
Brahmaputra River between
Dibrugarh and Guwahati on a 24-passenger river
boat. There are also three nights in Calcutta.
Remote Indian villages are visited where tourists
are rarely seen. Included is an early morning
elephant ride in Kaziranga National Park to see
rhino, a jeep safari and riding a rickshaw. The
14-day package is $4,199 (November) or $4,299
(December) per person. A 5-day extension offers the
Taj Mahal and
Delhi.
EUROPE VALUES -- With the rising value of the European Euro

Europe by boat. You buy your cruise ticket with U.S. dollars for better
value for your dollar since an all-inclusive
US price covers daily
accommodations, meals, and activities.

savings of 30% on the 8-passenger barge Princess
during July and August. The barge goes on
