As we usher in the New Year, new travel options abound!

This month's CP Travel Advisor aims to kick off 2016 on the right foot with suggestions for where to go, what you can do while you're there, and ways to save yourself time, hassle, and money along the way!

Perhaps it's no coincidence that Wave Season takes place at the beginning of every year! As busy individuals, couples, small and large families, and even retirees start planning travel for the year to come, Wave Season offers get them off to a running start with some of the best vacations and savings the travel industry has to offer. Many times, there are extra incentives to entice you book earlier, so taking advantage of these great deals first thing in the year can possibly get you more than you originally imagined!

If you are not sure where to extend your travel GPS in 2016, consider setting your compass to the Mediterranean. You can knock off the chill of winter by escaping to the almost perpetually-sunny shores of one of the most popular vacation destinations on the planet. Your five senses are sure to be in heavenly harmony with the variety of experiences to be found at the many idyllic locales the Mediterranean has to offer.

If cruising is in your travel game plan, consider some of the lines that have their own private island for that extra-special, exclusive shore experience. More of an extension of the onboard experience, these private islands offer the cruiser an uncomplicated, resort-style experience with many of the costs covered by the cruise fare. Extras like beach toys, private cabanas, shopping, and shore excursions can typically be charged to your room as well, so there's very little need to worry about bringing cash. And while some of the islands might be shared with another cruise line, there is often less of a crowd, leaving more time for enjoyment!

You can even alleviate a lot of the stress that comes with luggage logistics by considering Luggage Forward, a service that basically takes care of everything other than packing your bags for you! By providing them with the whens and wheres of your baggage needs, they make sure your items are where you need them, when you need them, so you can focus on the more important aspects of your vacation!

We look forward to another stellar year of eye-opening, transformative travel experiences. Your Cruise Planners Travel Expert will be there every step of the way to advise, guide, arrange, and execute all of your vacation wants and needs!
