With its magnificent beaches and resorts, crystal clear waters, and white sandy beaches lined with palm trees, the Dominican Republic is a popular getaway for those seeking fun in the sun.
Along with its pristine beaches and azure waters, this beautiful island is steeped in history and culture. You’ll find abundant historical sites, museums, and colonial architecture as well as the first hospital, first sugar mill, and the first Catholic church this side of the world.
Those seeking adventure will find plenty of opportunities to explore the jungles, forests, and mountain areas in the Dominican Republic. Parasailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling are popular pastimes on the island. And horseback riding, sailing, deep-sea fishing, and whale watching add to the extensive mix of activities to enjoy here.
Following are brief descriptions of some of the most popular destinations in the Dominican Republic:
Puerto Plata is a historic city worth examining for its wealth of Victorian architecture and proximity to developed stations like the windsurfing capital Cabarete. Many visit the city to see the historic fort, Fuerte de San Felipe. The boardwalk is lined with typical Dominican restaurants, where you can walk and enjoy views of the port and the Atlantic Ocean. Popular attractions include the Amber Museum of Puerto Plata, the Brugal Rum Distillery, and Mount Isabel de Torres, where you can take a gondola/cable car from Puerto Plata to the top of the mountain.
Located on the eastern coat, Punta Cana boasts will-groomed beaches lined with palm trees. Here you will find large, all-inclusive resorts that feature amenities such as an assortment of swimming pools, watersports activities, golf courses, spas, and tropical gardens.
La Romana is known for Casa de Campo, a 7,000-acre property of rolling hills. The resort offers guests two 18-hole championship golf courses, tennis centers, swimming pools, equestrian stables, polo grounds, and shooting stations. Just east of the resort is Altos de Chavon, which was built on a cliff overlooking the Rio Chavon and designed to look like a 16th century Mediterranean village.
To save time and money, we recommend booking all elements of your vacation together. Travel Impressions, for example, offers packages to the Dominican Republic that include air, accommodations, transfers, and optional tours.

Experience the Mysteries and Magic of Asia
From the bustle of Hong Kong to the serenity of a Japanese Garden, you can experience the exotic sights, sounds, and taste of Asia from the comfort and convenience of a modern cruise ship.
Cruising in Asia is a fun, easy way to explore exotic ports of call and sample the remarkable variety of languages, cultures, art treasures, cuisines, and landscapes found in this amazing part of the world. Cruising enables you to explore exotic ports of call without having to pack and unpack in every destination you visit. And at the end of a busy day, your ship provides a safe, welcome environment in which to relax and recharge.
Most Asia cruises operate October through April and range in length from ten to eighteen days. Royal Caribbean International, however, is offering shorter cruises beginning in December of 2007. Choose from a 2- or 3-night Malaysia Getaway, a 3-night Hong Kong/Sanya cruise, a 4-night Southeast Asia voyage, or a 5-night cruise departing from Singapore, Shanghai, or Hong Kong.
If you have more time, Princess Cruises has a 16-day voyage sailing between Beijing and Bangkok. En route, you’ll visit Shanghai in China, Nagasaki and Okinawa in Japan, plus Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam. There’s also a 15- or 22-day Alaska & Far East sailing, as well as a 31-day Alaska, Far East, & China adventure. And to make your vacation a true escape, combine your cruise with one of Princess’ cruisetours, which includes an in-depth land tour to enjoy sights like China’s Terra Cotta Warriors or Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Holland America Line offers Asia sailings in March, April, May, and October. The line’s 14-day China, Japan, & Korea sailing departs from Hong Kong and ends in Osaka, with port calls in Taiwan, Shanghai, Beijing, Xingang, Dalian, Pusan (South Korea), and Nagasaki. (The reverse itinerary is also available.) In addition, Holland America offers an 18-day Japan, Eastern Russia, & Alaska voyage in May 2007 that begins in Osaka and ends in Vancouver. Then in October, a portion of the line’s 64-day Asia, Australia, & Polynesia cruise takes you to cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Yokohama.
For details about any of the cruises mentioned above, or for additional Asia cruise options, call us today, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Short Cruises Are Long on Fun
Offering a combination of convenience and affordability, shorter, more frequent vacations are more popular than ever. And short cruises from three to five days are perfect for relaxing, recharging, and having fun.
In addition to meeting the needs of busy singles and couples, short cruises are popular with families as well as with first-time cruisers who want to experience what cruising has to offer before investing in longer voyages.
Because cruise lines want to entice people onboard and get them hooked on cruising, you can often find great bargains on 3-, 4-, and 5-night cruises. Short cruises generally have a higher energy level than you’ll find on a longer cruise, but there are always places to slip away and settle in with a good book or simply gaze at the passing scenery.
To capitalize on this growing trend, both Royal Caribbean International and Carnival Cruise Lines are offering more short cruises than ever before in 2007. Carnival is deploying about half its fleet on short cruises, offering more voyages of five days or less in length than any other cruise operator. These cruises include visits to the Bahamas, western Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada.
Carnival’s 2007 sailing schedule features 32 different short cruise itinerary choices for 12 “close-to-home” departure points, including the first year-round cruise program from San Diego aboard the 2,052-passenger Elation beginning in June.
In addition, Carnival is offering three one-time only short cruises on ships that will normally sail longer itineraries in 2007. The Carnival Freedom sails a four-night western Caribbean voyage on November 12, the Carnival Triumph sails a five-night western Caribbean voyage on August 28, and the Carnival Miracle sails a two-night cruise to nowhere on October 18.
Royal Caribbean also has a variety of short cruises. Three- to 5-night voyages to the Bahamas and the Caribbean depart from Miami, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, Galveston, and Tampa. Ports of call, depending on the length of the cruise, include Nassau, CocoCay in the Bahamas (Royal Caribbean’s private island), Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Belize City. For those on the West Coast, Royal Caribbean offers 3- and 4-night vacations sailing year-round out of Los Angeles, stopping in Ensenada, San Diego (4-night cruises), and Catalina Island.
So when you want it short and sweet—and often close to home—it’s hard to beat the numerous cruise options available today.
