Lets Go On A Vacation With “The Travel Factory Gang”!!!!

For over thirty years, we have planned group vacation travel.  Most of our plans have been on cruises to different parts of the world, primarily because those types of vacations are easier to plan in addition to having a positive experience.  In the past several years, we have limited our offerings to about 4 trips a year; the reason being when I'm escorting a group, I'm not selling!!

There are several reasons to consider traveling with a group, not the least of them is that most of the time it is less expensive.  In addition, often times there are amenities available through a group booking that aren't available with individual bookings.  Too, some folks have never traveled in an organized fashion, and are uncertain about traveling somewhere all alone.

We've also had the question about it being a restrictive group available only to people who know each other.  We have never restricted anyone from going with “The Gang”; if our trip has potentially hazardous situations, we'll inform folks about them and then the decision is up to them.  Interestingly by the time we go and return, everyone is always the best of friends.

So where's “The Gang” going next?  Our next trip is out of Galveston on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Liberty of the Seas.  She is sailing on Sept. 9-16 to Roatan, Honduras, Costa Maya, Mexico, and to Cozumel, Mexico.  Still limited space left on the ship so call today for the best price!!!

Just like the Caribbean cruise, there is limited space left on the Canada/New England trip on Oct. 16-26.  We will be on one of Princess Cruise Lines newest vessels, the Royal Princess, sailing out of New York City and visiting such ports as Boston, Portland Maine, St. John New Brunswick, Halifax and Sydney Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, then cruising down the St. Lawrence River where we will debark at Quebec.  Just an amazing Fall Foliage experience!!!

May 5-23, 2019 we'll enjoy “The Gang” doing a “bucket list” trip with Viking Ocean Cruises doing the Viking Homelands 14-day cruise that includes Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg Russia, Tallinn Estonia, Gdansk Poland, Berlin, Copenhagen and Alborg Denmark, Stavanger and Eidfjord Norway, and returning home from Bergen Norway.  All meals and an excursion in each port is included with the price.

Our 25th time to Alaska is scheduled on July 8-20, 2019 on Princess Royal Princess.  In our opinion, this is the best way to see as much of Alaska in 12 days as possible, and you'll be just like everyone else who has gone; it'll be the best vacation you've ever been on!!!  Call early for best air!!!

Almost as soon as we return, we have scheduled a group on the largest ship in the world, Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas.  Our dates are July 27-Aug. 3.  Absolutely unbelievable ship with too numerous features to describe....from the Broadway play Hair Spray to a wild and crazy water park!

Finally, another bucket-list river cruise......Paris and The Heart of Normandy.  This is a 7-day cruise down the Seine, the feature of course is the Normandy excursion and surrounding area.  It is scheduled for Oct. 31-Nov. 7, 2019.  Meals and excursions are included.

Any and all are invited...give us a call at The Travel Factory, 698-1421 or come by for a visit and more details at 4150 Southwest Drive.  You can see flyers on all these “Gang” trips on our website at www.thetravelfactoryabilene.com.  Make your plans early for best land and air prices!!!!
