Hidden Travel Gems

Looking for a hidden travel gem or a last-minute spring break deal? I recently returned from my travel advisor conference and have some unique finds to share!

Discovery Cove, Orlando is an all-inclusive, immersive animal and nature experience in a tropical paradise, while visiting Florida. It’s like going to a private island – unlike traditional theme parks with lines or crowds. Reservations are required and capacity is limited, making it perfect for relaxation and adventure. The purchase of a Signature Dolphin Swim Package includes:

  • Swim with Dolphins – Get up close with these incredible creatures.
  • Snorkeling Adventure – Explore lagoons filled with thousands of vibrant fish and rays.
  • Exotic Bird Encounters – Hand-feed colorful birds.
  • White Sand Beaches & Tropical Lagoons – Swim and unwind in a tranquil setting.
  • All-Inclusive Perks – All-you-can-eat breakfast and lunch; all-day unlimited snacks; beer and wine.

Discovery Cove is also a fantastic choice for travelers with special needs. With wide open spaces and a sensory-friendly design, it caters to guests with cognitive disorders such as autism. Their trained ambassadors ensure a comfortable and inclusive experience for all visitors. This unique oasis is owned by the same parent company as Sesame Place, in our backyard in Langhorne, PA

Small Ship River Cruising is not just international. You can experience incredible river cruises with American Cruise Lines. These small-ship cruises go beyond traditional sightseeing—they provide a deep dive into the history, culture, and charm of the United States with over 50 itineraries and 6 types of ships, including riverboats and paddlewheelers. Cruises are available along the East Coast from New England to the Florida Keys, throughout the South including the Mississippi River, and the Pacific Northwest covering Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, and Alaska, as well our national parks. What to expect:

  • Historic & Cultural Immersion – Each stop offers a unique glimpse into America’s past and present.
  • Built & Crewed in the USA – All ships are U.S. made in Salisbury, MD and staffed by an all-American crew.
  • Scenic & Relaxing – Enjoy breathtaking landscapes without the stress of large crowds.
