Cruise Specialists’ Holland America world cruise clients visit and donate supplies to children’s orphanage

Seattle, WA (March 24, 2010) – A group of kindhearted world cruisers recently opted to forgo a more traditional shore tour in Durban, South Africa for the opportunity to visit and donate much needed supplies to a children’s orphanage as part of the Cruise Specialists Cares shore excursion program. The philanthropic travelers hauled 17 boxes of supplies for the orphaned children with them all the way from Ft. Lauderdale on the Holland America ms Amsterdam.

Right now we are at home, packing for our next voyage of the Fall Colors in New England and Canada. We just came back from our Viking Cruise on the Maasdam.

This cruise is always very successful. Lots of beautiful ports to visit. The ports are very versatile. Also lots of different sceneries, with ice-bergs, glaciers, fjords. We also visited lots of European countries. It is always great when you see repeat Cruise Specialists families. A lot of guests have cruised this particular cruise many times over and over again, due to the beautiful scenic cruise days and ports.

We have completed our exclusive Cruise Specialists Shore Excursion programs for these two exciting voyages. The ms Prinsendam 2010 Grand South America Shore Excursion materials were recently mailed and later this week we plan to mail the ms Amsterdam 2010 Grand World Voyage tour materials.

We have some incredible tours planned including a safari to Thornybush Private Luxury Game Reserve, a fabulous trip to Machu Picchu (on the World Cruise) and also a special cruise on Li River with a visit to Terracotta Warriors.
