Happy New Year Travelers

HAPPY NEW YEAR 

May your new year be filled with happiness and good health! 

from the staff of New Horizons Travel 

We are back from a little break to let our staff enjoy their holiday season and already we are busy booking vacations well into 2014. What's popular this year are river cruises (in both Europe and Asia) and land packages to Africa. Ocean travel in Europe continue to offer deep discounts on almost all cruise lines both in the moderate and luxury categories. In addition, ocean liners have added many new exciting itineraries. Please contact us to find out what the buzz!

EcoAdventures and Silverseas Luxury Cruise Line have partnered to offer a Galapagos adventure fit for the most discerning traveler. Relax completely and leave the unpacking to your butler as you sail away to see various geological formations of lava flows, beaches of olive, white and black sand, and the most diverse landscapes and species of animals and plant life. In a country club intimate atmosphere, enjoy complimentary drinks and the company of like-mided guests. This is THE trip for  those who enjoy photography as every turn exposes an exciting new view in brilliant colors.

Something travelers (especially those who are older) may want to consider is medical assistance during your trips. One premier company we work with is MedJetAssist. How it works is travelers can buy into their membership to receive coverage for a full year. MedJetAssist arranges "air-medical transport for it's members who are hospitalized while traveling 150 miles or more from their primary residence, in the U.S. or abroad, to the member's hospital of choice in their home country." Please come in and see us about this type of medical coverage. We think it's valuable especially for those who have pre-existing health problems or elder travelers.

And last but definitely not least, we had our 14th Anniversary Party on December 13, 2013 and it was wildly successful! Our dearest friends, wonderful clients and valued vendors attended the bash sponsored by Viking River Cruises, Oceania, Holland America and Trafalgar Tours. Selected wines from our local wine bar, Sheila's Wine Bar and Cafe (Camarillo), flowed all evening long. Appetizers that included crab cakes, spring rolls, fried shrimp, Manhattan meatballs, local and imported cheeses and an assortment of desserts were provided while guest mingled with our vendors and fellow travelers. "It seems like everyone was talking and all at once. It was a lively and fun-filled evening," mentioned Barbara, our travel specialist.
