oin us on a one-time journey from downtown Chicago to the jungles of Central America by Classic Streamliner train and Norwegian liner! Our vintage streamliner train 'The British West Indies Express' will convey our guests from the Windy City to New Orleans over the Illinois Central Railroad with a visit and overnight stay in historic Memphis on the way. Then an overnight in New Orleans before the centerpiece of our holiday, passage by ship to exotic Belize, formerly British Honduras, one of the most fascinating places on earth. With the second longest barrier reef in the world, lush jungles filled with jaguars, ocelots and wild monkeys, Belize is a place of stunning natural beauty, famed for its breathtaking Mayan ruins at Altun-Ha. During our port call in Belize City, there is time to tour these magnificent Mayan ruins, a 'must-see' sight for any traveler. Happily, Belize is not the only exotic port of call on our passage from New Orleans, we also visit Costa Maya in Mexico's Yucatan, popular Cozumel and a lovely port, seldom-visited, Santa Tomas de Castilla in Guatemala. At Santo Tomas, there is a fantastic shore excursion to Quirigua and its Mayan monuments.
Of course, any good holiday should couple remarkable scenery with superb comfort and this holiday does this nicely. Our vintage streamliner train offers a swank art deco round-end observation 'Club Car' with an open bar and what better way to begin a vacation than with complimentary cocktails at ninety miles per hour without the hassle of airport check-ins. In New Orleans, our guests enjoy an overnight First Class hotel stay with breakfast daily, a French Quarter sightseeing tour and, of course, a visit to famed Cafe du Monde for the best cafe au lait and beignets in the World. Our ship, the ms Norwegian Spirit features 11 restaurants, 11 bars & lounges, an excellent spa and fitness center, a casino and acres of open deck space. Because Norwegian Cruise Line operates 'Freestyle Cruising' you may dine when you like, where you like, with whom you like, there is no required dress code and a level of personal choice on how you enjoy your vacation is offered,
The one serious flaw with this holiday; it will sell out quickly so prompt reservations are encouraged.
