Two of my favourite companies are coming to the mountain to tell all that are interested in them about their wonderful products.
Tauck is an exceptional touring company that researches each trip for three years before they take a guest on the journey, as a Virtuoso agency when you book a Tauck trip through Travelling Places you will receive a free nights accommodation on most departures.
Tauck stay at wonderful hotels that reflect the region you are travelling in, their tour guides are excellent and they have a motto if something is worthwhile doing it is included – so there are no optional addons when travelling with Tauck.
Choose from a wide range of touring options worldwide.
Take a river cruise in Europe on one of their beautiful vessels or join them on a small ship adventure in exotic destinations around the world.
Tauck often charter a Ponant ship to explore different parts of the world, I joined a Tauck charter of a Ponant ship to Antarctica a few years ago and it was wonderful.
Tauck guests benefited from extra inclusions to the regular Ponant guests on board.
Ponant is the other company joining us on the mountain for a chat.
This French owned company offers classic cruises and also expeditions to all seven continents.
With a capacity of 200 or so passengers these ships are intimate and chic, designed with a French flare.
The size of these vessels allows them to hug the coastlines and to visit ports accessible to smaller ships only.
They are welcomed by locals because of the limited impact they have on the environment.
Imagine sailing into smaller ports like Sardinia in the Mediterranean, Hagi in Japan or the Chilean fjords.
Some of their fleet are designed to cruise and call into must visit ports and those less visited while other adventures are expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica, the Kimberley Coast and the Melanesian islands.
As a bonus booking through Travelling Places you will receive an on board credit of Euro 100 to Euro 200 depending upon the cruise.
Ponant offer trips to every corner of the world and we have several clients that return time and again to these wonderful ships to explore a new region of the world.
Join us on Tuesday 1 October at 530pm at Travelling Places in Main Street to discover the world through the eyes of Ponant and Tauck.
