I have to say that our marketing and design team are excellent but their newest venture nearly landed us in hot water!! We have recently designed a series of once in a lifetime cruises that encompass not only a cruise but also the spirit and culture of the places they are visiting and these were to be called “YOLO” cruises meaning “You only live once”.
Unfortunately it soon became clear that there was already a YOLO cruises that provided swinging cruises and I don’t mean music!! The name was quickly changed to The Bucket List so let me introduce you to them and some of the highlights.
Escorted Far East Meets The Wild West
Start off in the Far East with an escorted 6 night tour including the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall of China followed by a 22 night cruise taking in Hawaii before ending in San Francisco where you join your 5 night USA tour incorporating Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon , Hoover Dam , Hollywood and Los Angeles.
Escorted Japan With Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Snow Monkeys
