This week Canada reaffirmed that all passengers disembarking in Canada from cruise ships, even for one-day shore excursions, be vaccinated, except for children under the age of 12.

Also, passengers boarding a cruise ship in Canada must take a COVID PCR test within three days or an antigen test within one day of boarding.

Last summer, as Canadian cruise rules are stricter than those published by the CDC, Congress passed legislation to protect the Alaska 2021 summer tourist season, allowing foreign-flagged cruise ships sailing from Seattle and other west coast ports to Alaska to bypass Canadian ports. We will let you know if a similar law is enacted for 2022.

Good news from St Maartin.

It could be argued that “safari” was born in Kenya, and anyone who has had the privilege of being on safari in this magical country can tell you that the primal drama that unfolds is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring and moving experiences. There is more to Kenya than safaris, from coral reefs and white-sand beaches to tea plantations (plus a tourism infrastructure that can get you to all of them) you’re not likely to get bored. This month, our friends at G-Adventures are offering a 15% discount on a variety of Kenya tours. G-Adventure tours are perfect for those 18-to-thirtysomethings seeking an active vacation or for those 40+ ready for an amazing National Geographic exploration.
