Choice cabins are still available for a one-of-a-kind 9-night Southern Caribbean cruise to and through the Panama Canal escorted by Tim and Denise Hersh, of Cruise Holidays of Topeka.

Guest will not only get to experience cruising through the Panama Canal, but they will also get to explore Puerto Limon (Costa Rica), Cartagena (Columbia), Curacao, Aruba, and Bonaire. Travelers will also enjoy two sea days while on board Norwegian Cruise Line’s ‘Jewel’ cruise ship.

The cruise departs Colon, Panama on Monday, February 13, 2023. There is an option for pre-nights in Panama City which is highly recommended.

Hersh, who has been hosting trips with the Topeka’s Cruise Holidays for four years says group travel is as stress free as you can get!

“Your responsibility is getting to the airport and on that plane to Panama City,” said Hersh. “We take care of the details after that.”

Hersh says Cruise Holidays of Topeka’s group trips come with more benefits than one might imagine.

“Going with a group of fellow Kansans just helps ease the mind a bit – there’s power in numbers, I guess you could say,” said Hersh. “There’s is an added sense of security when you are traveling with other guests who are like-minded folks doing the same thing and going the same place.”

Hersh says group rates are also less than if traveling as just a pair thanks to buying power! Cabins start at around $1,900 per person which includes Cruise, port fees and taxes, beverage package, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, $50 shore excursion credit, pre-paid gratuities and travel protection.

If you love to travel, but don’t like all the stress and headache that comes with it – let Cruise Holidays of Topeka be your partner in getting you to your destination!

And just because you’re in a group doesn’t mean you have to do everything together.

“The first day you’ll be strangers, but by the end of the trip you’ll have a bunch of new, really good friends,” said Hersh. “It’s so fun to see this transformation.”
