Trip to NYC for sightseeing and Broadway plays
I am starting out without a specific date. We would fly to New York City and plan to sightsee by day and see Broadway performances at night. You would not need to attend each performance--you can pick and choose what you want to see. Example plays may be The Lion King, Hamilton, and Wicked. This trip would be 3-4 nights.
2024 British Isles Golf Cruise
Attendance to The 152nd Open at Royal Troon
12 Nights Edinburgh - Dublin | July 14 – 26
This cruise sails from the port closest to Edinburgh, Scotland and ends in the port closest to Dublin, Ireland. This is a cruise where golf is an option in several ports and golf experts will be on board. However, you do not need to golf to sail on this itinerary---there are plenty of other activities in each port. You may choose to include tickets to the British Open in the package or you can choose not to attend. I'm happy to provide more details if you are interested in this sailing. The price will vary quite a bit depending on what you want included, but will be roughly $5,000-$15,000 per person, based on double occupancy.
Golf at Terranea Resort, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
This resort with an oceanfront 9-hole course is not very far from Los Angeles. It is a quick flight or a 5.5 hour drive (depending on traffic). This area has more to offer than golf, but the golf is one of the main attractions. The resort is set on 102 acres.

Alaska Cruise...or Cruise Tour
Some people from Verrado and Victory are already booked on this trip, so I thought I would post it here. They are doing a cruise tour that starts on July 6, 2024 and has 7 days on land in Alaska before boarding a cruise on July 13th for 7 nights. The cruise ends on July 20th. You could join the Cruise Tour (land plus cruise) or just the cruise.
African Safari
The group could decide if they want to go on a safari in East Africa (Kenya and/or Tanzania) or Southern Africa (South Africa and/or Botswana). Most trips to Africa include time on safari (typically 3 to 6 nights) and time seeing a city (like Cape Town) and/or time in a beach destination like Zanzibar, Seychelles, Mozambique or Mauritius. Since the flight there is long, it is best to try and spend as much time as possible in Africa--a minimum of 10 days is what I recommend, if possible.
Pristine beauty in Greenland
I just came back from experiencing this beautiful country. This trip isn't for everyone--you need to be reasonably fit and not have any mobility challenges. The glamping camp can accommodate up to 12 people if we go as a group, but the camp can be considered full with as few as 6 people. This is not an inexpensive trip, but it is very unique. 5 nights in Greenland (3 nights at a remote camp and 2 nights in hotels) is around $12,000 per couple. Flights to Greenland are additional (you have to fly through Iceland or Denmark). Please look at my blog post to get an idea about this trip: https://www.unraveledtravel.com/blog/beauty-and-peace-in-greenland
Exploring Ireland--7-9 nights
Depending on the number of people interested, we will either take a bus or trains to explore Ireland. A sample itinerary might be Dublin, Belfast, Killarney and Galway. We would see the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher and the Giants Causeway. We could stay in smaller properties and have a castle stay for a night or two.
Cruising with a waived single supplement
This trip idea is wide open at the moment---it could be an ocean cruise or a river cruise. This option is for people that are traveling along that want their own room, but would like to travel with other people from Verrado or Victory so they know other people on board. Most cruise lines charge a single supplement if only one person is staying in a room---and that supplement can come out to almost as much as paying for 2 people to stay in a room. There are sales where cruise lines will waive the single supplement fee or greatly reduce it. Many cruise lines have offers on sailings for the rest of 2023 (and some into early 2024). By RSVPing below, it shows your interest---if we have several people interested, I will reach out and we can decide as a group where you would like to sail.
