We have some wonderful prices on a 13 day wonders of China & Yangtze River cruise for late 2013 & early 2014. Pricing starts at $1,999* and that includes round trip air from L.A. Many other costs are

private balcony on board Five Star Victoria Cruises and all port charges. Call us to find out more.
Halloween 2013 – Princess just dropped the pricing on some group space we have held for a 4 day Halloween cruise out of L.A. aboard the Golden Princess. Port stops include Ensenada and San Diego. Cruise pricing starts from $395* pp. HURRY, Halloween is approaching quickly.
Winter 2013 – Have you thought about your plans for the winter? May we suggest the Grand Canyon Railway? They offer some special pricing for both their Pumpkin Patch Train and the Polar Express. This is an excellent idea if you are looking for a trip for the children or grandchildren. Call Departures for all the information and to book your trip on the train.
Christmas 2013 – Have you ever considered a Christmas cruise? The Departures family took a Christmas cruise 2 years ago and it was wonderful. The ship was decorated beautifully and everybody had a great time. We actually came up with the rule that we did not exchange gifts, nobody decorated their home and we just went on the cruise to relax and be with family. It was one of the most stress free Christmas’s we ever had. Think about it, no fighting the crowds in the stores and no standing in lines the day after to return gifts. Just relaxing and being with the ones you love. Highly recommended!!
