“What started as a conversation in Punta Cana during a conference that has turned into a very special partnership between the Stewart Travel Group and Crystal Cruises. Travis, Paula and their Team of professionals took an idea that we discussed and turned it into two groups sailing on our luxury river experience in 2019 and 2020. Their ability to take an idea and turn it into fruition, is simply amazing.”

Guests can pick from a wealth of excursions to handcraft their personal itineraries, participating in as much or as little as they want. Electric bikes, earphones, and apps for self-guided exploration can also make excursions more accessible. Finally, in a culinary tour de force, Crystal Cruises gives travellers a concrete taste of the lands they’re exploring. Almost all their foods are sourced within a hundred miles, including wines and cheeses—with the exception of special dishes, such as lobster, which sometimes come from Atlantic Canada. “You’re getting local ingredients and a regionally-inspired menu. A lot of creativity goes into the dishes,” says Gertsch. “For most people, the opportunity to travel doesn’t come everyday,” she adds. “At Stewart Travel, we want to create an experience you can talk about for the rest of your life. We treat everyone as a VIP.” Travis notes that “Stewart Travel Group has presented many personally-hosted tours throughout the world, and for 2020, Kevin ‘Boomer’ Gallant—a well-known, recently-
retired CBC Compass weatherman—and his partner, Karen, will be hosting a special tour to Ireland in May of 2020. Paula and I are also excited that we will be announcing a once-in-a-lifetime Croatia tour for 2020, which we will be hosting, and which will be released very soon.” Locally-based in the Maritimes, Stewart Travel Group distinguishes itself through its profound knowledge of destinations and its exceptional service. “We want to help you create the best possible memories with your loved ones,” says Gertsch.
