What happens when winter leaves you with a serious case of cabin fever? The solution might be to get a better cabin.
Perhaps a cabin with a floor-to-ceiling balcony overlooking the lush blue-green seas of the tropics might be the perfect cure for the winter blues. Ready to go? Paul Gauguin Cruises just made it easier for Canadians to embark on a tropical getaway.
Paul Gauguin, which operates luxury, small ship cruises throughout the South Pacific and Latin America, is providing Canadian residents the opportunity to sail "At Par," when booking select cruises through Feb. 29, 2016. Essentially Canadians can apply the Canadian dollar equivalent to the stated fare, resulting in a savings of nearly 25 percent.
The Canada sale is applied in addition to already discounted fares of up to 50 percent off, which include roundtrip airfare from LAX, so snow birds might never find a better time to go.
A sampling of voyages for 2015/2016 include:
Tahiti & the Society Islands
Set sail on the flagship m/s Paul Gauguin and be inspired by the best of the South Pacific. Stop in Huahine, Bora Bora and Moorea where you'll dive with manta rays, watch humpback whales migrating in the warm South Pacific waters and enjoy an overnight in Moorea with plenty of free time to experience the local culture and cuisine.
