In order to bring guests to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to see the natural wonder of this area, Seattle-based CEO Expeditions, is providing a special “Twilight Tour” as an optional add on to their popular San Juan Island charters this summer.
The Twilight movies have helped draw attention to the beautiful Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula, specifically in Forks, home of the Cullens, and La Push, home of the Quileute tribe profiled in the movies.
CEO Expeditions is currently offering high end luxury cruises through the San Juan Islands, which are at the end of the Strait of Juan De Fuca, the same waters the tribe fished. As a special limited offer, a “Twilight Tour” has been created, beginning in nearby Port Angeles and shuttling guests to the sites of the Twilight series, namely Forks and La Push.
Private tours on land would be available, with a fishing option in nearby Neah Bay or the Hoh River.

Mega yacht Kayana also takes guests on a special “Twilight Tour” of San Juan Island charter near Seattle. Read the rest of this entry »

Luxury Cruises: Have you ever cruised into a prime port, spent a hurried day in frantic exploration, and only hours later stood on the ship’s deck as it pulled from the dock — already longing to return to really see the destination?
If your answer is “yes,” as mine invariably is, have you revisited? Perhaps.
But more than likely, not.
Well, no more. I recently discovered Royal Caribbean’s Cruisetours — billed as an addendum “designed to make a vacation for clients a complete vacation.” Offered in conjunction with cruises in Alaska, South America, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and Europe, it’s a pre- or post- multi-day escorted land segment that will immerse you into the land and its lore.
