  Make your next vacation an ADVENTURE!

Adventure travel is a type of tourism involving exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas, where the traveler should "expect the unexpected". Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity as tourists seek different kinds of vacations. According to the U.S.-based Adventure Travel Trade Association, "adventure travel" may be any tourist activity including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction, and engagement with nature.

Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing its participants to step outside of their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock, or through the performance of acts that require significant effort and involve some degree of risk (real or perceived) and/or physical danger. This may include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, rafting, zip-lining and rock climbing.  Source - Wikipedia

Travel To:  PANAMA CANAL – Small Ship Adventure  2010
image
  3rd-19th, JANUARY 2010

I would like to invite you to sail onboard a smaller, more intimate ship, and discover deluxe cruising on the ship Journey, of Azamara Cruises, a branch of Celebrity Cruises. Would you like to forgo the crowds and experience a voyage tailor-made for you to experience the Panama Canal. The enormity of the canal’s engineering will leave you amazed.

Azamara Journey offers a handcrafted ambiance that combines a more romantic vision of travel with the most modern amenities. Walking along the decks, you’ll have the sense that you’re strolling through the expanse of an upscale European hotel without ever losing the feel of being onboard ship. Enjoy spectacular dining, including two unique specialty restaurants and an intimate main dining room, dazzling nightly entertainment options, and a collection of enrichment programs that have been designed to open your mind to a wealth of new insights.

Journey is 593 feet in length which allows it to be navigated into the canal and other ports that other ships could never reach. Despite the small size the Journey offers many of the amenities of a much larger vessel. Journey’s occupancy is 694 passengers and has better than one staff member for every two passengers.

The suites and staterooms all come standard with butler service, a daily fruit basket, fresh cut flowers, 24-hour room service, a sweet surprise on your pillow each evening, afternoon canapés, complimentary shoe-shine service, a 23” plasma television, personal stationery, Elemis bathroom products, two nights of complimentary specialty dining, one complimentary large bottle of water, new European bedding, and complimentary use of binoculars, umbrellas and plush robes.

Journey offers you a lifelong learning experience through seminars and lectures, as well as more intimate discussion groups and classes.  Unique excursions are offered at every port-of-call such as visiting an active volcano or zipping through a jungle.  Wi-Fi and cellular service is available onboard Journey.

All of the restaurants- including the main dining room, two specialty restaurants, and informal dining experiences like the Café, and Pool Grill offer a unique dining experience. Journey offers open seating in each dining venue, allowing you to choose those with whom you’ll share your meal, as well as no formal dress requirements, which creates an intimate yet relaxed dining experience.
