Perhaps someone on your Christmas list who’s impossible to shop. Or maybe they’ve been dropping hints all year about how they need to get away. It could even be a white elephant gift you’re hoping ends up back in your hands. Whoever it’s for, the gift of travel will make for a lifetime of memories. Contact us at 571.338.0408 or travel@pineapple7.com to get your gift certificate. In the meantime, here are some suggestions for what to use it on.
European cruise
Set sail for the enchanting cities of Europe and immerse yourself in history. You can get a taste of several different cultures in one fell swoop or select a cruise that concentrates on one area, such as Italy or the Greek Isles. A longer departure can bring you from one end of the Mediterranean to the other, from the charms of Lisbon in the west to the ancient cities of the Levant in the east. In the interior, river cruises can take you through Eastern and Central Europe, the heartland of Germany, down the Rhine, up the Seine or along the Douro. Head north and sail the Baltic just like the Vikings of yore -- well, in a little more comfort. Themed cruises can make for a special treat for the beer or wine enthusiast in your life.
Tropical paradise
Kick back and lie in the sand with a cold drink and soak up the sun. Who could say no to that? There are gems throughout the Caribbean, each with something unique to offer. Go kitesurfing in Turks and Caicos, diving in the Caymans or hike St. Lucia’s iconic pitons. Farther afield, the islands of Hawaii offer myriad activities without the need for a passport. In the South Pacific, Fiji and French Polynesia are the stuff of dreams. In the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles make the perfect complement to an African safari, while the Maldives pair excellently with a trip to India or the Middle East. Which island will you choose?
