| Chiara in Amalfi Coast for Flytographer |
What about one of these... Have you ever:
- Felt disappointed by your travel photos?
- Wish your Instagram travel pics stood out more?
- Been disappointed by the results of a "here, let me take your picture" offer?
- Wondered if that stranger you asked to take your picture might run off with it?
- Worried that you might lose your camera with all your vacation photos on it?
 |
| Flytographer |
Flytographer is a network of local photographers, worldwide, that you can arrange prior to your arrival, for a private photoshoot.
This isn't your parents' posed photographs... these are casual moments captured during your day, moments of joy or contemplation, meaningful to you.
If you want a photograph of you doing something in particular (think jumping in the air or sharing a kiss), your photographer will help you capture the moment, all while making it feel spontaneous.
Planning a big moment, such as proposal? Flytographer can do that.
All Flytographer photographers are professionals, and you can view their work online before booking, so you know what you are getting. In some locations, there may be multiple photographers available to choose from.

My late picks - November 2016
If you can get away last minute, here are some interesting sailings this month that still have space ~ and good deals!
November 12, 2016
17-Nights
Sailing from
Tianjin to Singapore on the Diamond Princess
Similar to a sailing I featured in my October late picks, this Diamond Princess sailing allows you to sample 7 Asian countries in just 17 nights. Does it get any better than this?
Ports on this sailing include: Tianjin, Busan (ex Pusan), Nagasaki, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Phu My, Bangkok, Singapore
View the itinerary details
There are just balconies left, but they are well priced.
Interested? Please contact me for a quote.
November 16, 2016
19-Nights
Sailing
roundtrip from Los Angeles on the Island Princess
This is a really nice itinerary, and it's one that isn't often offered. The Mexico ports-of-call are off-the-beaten-track, and the others you can generally only call at when cruising South America. You even get a peek at the Panama Canal!
Ports on this sailing include: Los Angeles, Huatulco, Puerto Chiapas, Puerto Quetzal, Panama Canal (partial), Puntarenas, San Juan del Sur, Manzanillo, Los Angeles
View the itinerary details
Interested? Please contact me for a quote.
November 20, 2016
21-Nights
Sailing from
Dubai to Singapore on the Norwegian Star
While many repositioning ships sail these waters, many spend a lot of days at sea, making only a few port calls. This sailing on the Norwegian Star is unique in that it makes numerous port calls (there are just 5 sea days!), and overnights in Bombay (modern day Mumbai).
Ports on this sailing include: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Khasab, Fujairah, Muscat, Bombay (Mumbai, overnight), Marmagoa (Goa), Mangalore, Kochi, Colombo, Phuket, Langkawi, Penang (Georgetown), Port Kelang, Singapore
View the itinerary details
Interested? Please contact me for a quote.
November 28, 2016
11-Nights
Sailing
roundtrip Venice on the Norwegian Spirit
Yes, you can sail the Mediterranean in November and December! I have personally wintered in Greece and found it plenty warm. And, while there aren't as many ships sailing here, that means less crowds.
Ports on this sailing include: Venice, Zadar, Piraeus (Athens), Limassol, Haifa (Jerusalem/Bethlehem, overnight), Katakolon (Olympia), Venice
View the itinerary details

None of these your cup of tea?

From YVR: Volendam, Transpacific, September 27, 2017
My Vancouver sailing posts are written for those who call the West Coast home...
Featured itinerary:
One of the most overlooked cruise itineraries is Pacific Ocean crossings. It's not unreasonable, given that there are not a lot of sailings, and many are not port-intensive, but there are some gems.
Here is a great example next fall:
30-Night Transpacific Cruise
From Vancouver, British Columbia to Shanghai, China
Holland America Line - ms Volendam
Itinerary details
One of the reasons I this sailing is the northern route it is taking on its way to Japan, even making 4 port calls in Alaska along the way (there are not many ships that call on Dutch Harbor!). Most other Transpacific sailings just go straight across the Pacific Ocean.
I also picked this sailing for all the Asian ports it includes:
You need to like sea days though: there are 12 on this itinerary, giving you lots of time to read about the lands you will be visiting.
If you don't have a month, you can always take the shorter 16 night sailing to Yokohama.*
Tip: these sailings are also referred to as Pacific Rim cruises

To YVR: Nieuw Amsterdam, Panama Canal, April 9, 2017
My Vancouver sailing posts are written for those who call the West Coast home...
Featured itinerary:
Many people have the Panama Canal on their bucketlist. What about you?
If you've yet to have the experience, or are ready to enjoy the locks another time, this sailing caught my eye to share with you:
20-Night Panama Canal Cruise
From Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Vancouver, British Columbia
Holland America Line - ms Nieuw Amsterdam
Itinerary details
One of the reasons I like this sailing is that you get the flying out of the way before you sail, so that all you need to do when you disembark is head home.
I also picked this sailing for the ship, the lovely ms Nieuw Amsterdam. One of Holland America's two Signature Class ships (the other is the Eurodam).
The ship's 1053 cabins include a whopping 602 Veranda staterooms, giving you ideal views right from your stateroom. If you are looking for a more upscale experience, there are 116 suites onboard (2 Pinnacle Suites, 62 Neptune Suites, 52 Signature Suites). The ship has 179 oceanview staterooms, and 155 inside staterooms.
Plus, if you haven't noticed it yet, this sailing calls on Victoria on the last night of the cruise. If you book early, I can make a request - through cruiseline and border services - for you to disembark in Victoria. Just part of the service!
With more than 100 Panama Canal sailings on my website alone, you can be forgiven for any frustration you've experienced in picking out the best Panama Canal sailing for you.
Here are a few more Panama Canal cruises to Vancouver in 2017, along with the number of balconies on each ship:

| April 9, 2017: 20 night Panama Canal cruise sailing from Fort Lauderdale to Vancouver on the Nieuw Amsterdam |
If you've yet to have the experience, or are ready to enjoy the locks another time, this sailing caught my eye to share with you:
20-Night Panama Canal Cruise
From Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Vancouver, British Columbia
Holland America Line - ms Nieuw Amsterdam
Itinerary details
.jpg)
One of the reasons I like this sailing is that you get the flying out of the way before you sail, so that all you need to do when you disembark is head home.
I also picked this sailing for the ship, the lovely ms Nieuw Amsterdam. One of Holland America's two Signature Class ships (the other is the Eurodam).
The ship's 1053 cabins include a whopping 602 Veranda staterooms, giving you ideal views right from your stateroom. If you are looking for a more upscale experience, there are 116 suites onboard (2 Pinnacle Suites, 62 Neptune Suites, 52 Signature Suites). The ship has 179 oceanview staterooms, and 155 inside staterooms.
Plus, if you haven't noticed it yet, this sailing calls on Victoria on the last night of the cruise. If you book early, I can make a request - through cruiseline and border services - for you to disembark in Victoria. Just part of the service!
Looking for a different Panama Canal experience?
With more than 100 Panama Canal sailings on my website alone, you can be forgiven for any frustration you've experienced in picking out the best Panama Canal sailing for you.
Here are a few more Panama Canal cruises to Vancouver in 2017, along with the number of balconies on each ship:

Solo Travel News - October 7, 2016
With so many solo travellers looking for affordable ways to travel, without the dreaded single supplement, I am always watching for specials. Periodically, when I have time, I summarize a few into an email to send to those who may be interested.
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that there are expedition cruises in that have no single supplements? That's the case with Adventure Canada which, for 4 months each year, sails an ice-breaking expedition ship on fascinating itineraries in the Arctic (including the Northwest Passage), as well as a Newfoundland Circumnavigation and a voyage to Sable Island.
The accommodations on the Ocean Endeavour are modest, as the focus is on nature and historic stops along the way. You'll learn from onboard experts (naturalists, anthropologists, archaeologists, culturists, historians, photographers, etc) and your experiences during shore landings via Zodiacs. These voyages are not cheap, but for the intrepid solo traveller, they make these bucketlist destinations possible.
I've included a link to the voyages, but please contact me for more information, as I have access to exclusive offers.
Adventure Canada
Adventure Canada Expedition Leaders
WORLD EXPLORER
We have "the world on sale" during our World Explorer event with exclusive offers from 11 cruiselines.
If you have a destination in mind that you would like to travel to between now and mid-2018, please let me know and I can provide you some options and tell you what special offers apply. World Explorer ends October 22nd.
A FEW SOLO DEALS AT THE MOMENT
Here are few deals I saw today:
October 19, 2016: 7 nights, Vancouver to Los Angeles on the Star Princess - $908 CAD solo inside
October 24, 2016: 16 nights, Rome to Fort Lauderdale on the Koningsdam (NEW SHIP) - $2077 CAD solo inside ($3177 balcony)
October 30, 2016: 21 nights, Rome to Dubai on the Norwegian Star - $2855 CAD solo inside ($3103 balcony)
December 3, 2016: 7 nights, Caribbean cruise, roundtrip Fort Lauderdale, on the Eurodam - $1141 CAD solo inside
March 25, 2017: 20 nights, Port Canaveral to Barcelona, on the Norwegian Epic - $2876 CAD solo inside
October 15, 2017: 14 nights: Copenhagen to Miami, on the Norwegian Getaway - $1568 CAD solo inside studio
Plus taxes/fees
Please get in touch if something sounds interesting, or if you have a trip idea in mind. Remember that prices and availability are subject to change. If you see something you like, please get in touch as soon as possible.
Looking for something else? While reduced or waived single supplements are hard to find, they do exist, and I can help you find them. A few ships also offer solo staterooms, with no single supplement. I can also assist with tours and land vacations for solos.
Cheers,
Roberta
