Last month for The Heron, I wrote about our Herons Glen Travel Club’s upcoming 11-day, 10-night Mediterranean cruise to Spain, Greece, Turkey and Italy this coming October 18 to 28. We are really excited about this trip to see ancient civilizations and learn about their culture and history! How many times in your life can you actually be in the stadium where ancient Olympians competed in, beginning in 776 BC? We will be there in that stadium and can stand on the Olympic running track! Wow!
Our Travel Club members tell us that they would like to do a beautiful Caribbean cruise each spring, so we will be departing the Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port next February 28, 2026, on a nine-day, eight-night Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse. Our professional motor coach will pick us up at our clubhouse and whisk us directly over to dock at the ship. We will begin with two days of total relaxation at sea, scanning the beautiful turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, while having a delightful beverage and enjoying the sun. And we can’t forget the exciting dinners, professional entertainment, and drinks throughout the duration of our cruise. Then we will spend a day on Antigua, which is known for its 365 beautiful beaches, its maritime history, and vibrant culture.
Then we sail overnight over to St. Maarten, which is a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and is in the Southern Caribbean Sea. Again, we can experience beautiful beaches and interesting tours of this beautiful island to learn about its culture.
Another overnight cruise northwards to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to experience a day of learning about its culture, seeing the island and enjoying its wonderful, delicious food. Then we sail overnight northwards to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. “The Dominican” is a fantastic tourist spot, with beautiful beaches, world-class golf courses, sightseeing, etc. We can’t wait to see it!
And after all these exciting experiences, we are going to need a day of total rest and relaxation at sea, enjoying those ice-cold beverages with those cute little umbrellas sticking up out of them. We return to Fort Lauderdale on March 8 and will board our motor coach directly back to the Glen.
