Captivating Cuba: Art, Music, Dance & More!
Captivating Cuba: Art, Music, Dance & More!
March 8 to 16, 2025
 
Be inspired by Cuba’s soulful art, musical rhythms and vibrant dance – a land of artistic richness! However, Cuba is changing quickly. The time to go is now!  Experience the rich cultural life of this interesting island nation with visits to artists' studios and workshops, dance companies (to see a rehearsal), important museums, historic sites and more. Visit a private home and hear personal stories of growing up in Cuba.  Avoid the government tourist restaurants and dine in the famous paladares -- the "in home" restaurants run by family members. Visit this striking country before it turns into just another tourist-filled cruise port.  Explore. Experience. Enjoy. Join us!

The Neglected Netherlands

April 25 or 27-(May 5 or 9), 2025 with optional pre & post-trip extensions
 
The “Low Lands” is an interesting country filled with quaint towns, world-class museums, fabulous cuisine, interesting history, charming architecture and more; yet most visitors spend a couple of days in Amsterdam and ignore the rest of the country.  Join this unique exploration to visit wonderful cultural treasures in small towns, villages and countryside. The trip offers an optional Overlooked Amsterdam extension to visit some of the fascinating off-the-beaten-track sites in this dynamic city.  Don't miss this journey filled with lesser-known gems of Dutch culture!
