Episode 506: Sandals Royal Curacao with Anna

When you think of all-inclusive resorts, the name Sandals is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Since 1981, Sandals Resorts have been leading the Caribbean all-inclusive industry by offering guests more amenities, more luxury, more innovations, and more choices than any other beach resort. Their properties are located on some of the most sought-after stretches of sand in the world, including Jamaica, the Bahamas, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua and now Curacao! In 2022 Sandals resorts opened Sandals Royal Curacao and our fellow Outlander Travel Advisor Anna had a chance to visit this amazing new resort and wants to tell you all about it!

Episode 498 – Searching for Chiopotle in Europe with Brook

On this show, we’re huge proponents of experiencing the local culture when you travel, and a big part of that is the food. But we also know that sometimes, you just want something that is familiar. Brook and her family live in Germany, and when she asked her son what he wanted to do for spring break this year, his answer was that he wanted to eat at Chipotle! That got us thinking, where do you go in Europe when you want a taste of home? Luckily, Brook researched it for us and is here to tell us all about it.

Episode 497: River Cruise Expo Updates

River cruising is one of the best ways to see Europe. You get to experience several different locations from the comfort of your floating hotel. And unlike ocean cruising, the rivers get you right into the heart of the destination and allow you to see some of the smaller towns and villages. But how do you know which river cruise is right for you? Recently several of our agents attended the ASTA River Cruise Expo in Amsterdam where they got to experience several cruise lines first hand, and they’re excited to tell you about them.
