Message from Susan Champagne/Owner, Magic Carpet Travel Ltd.

Our Mini Trade Show and Past Passenger Event is now behind us. Sandy Renaud, V.P. Group Cruise Sales/Office Manager and Rose D’Amato Assistant V.P. Group Cruise Sales did a great job arranging the event. Everyone had a wonderful time and we saw many of you in the office the following couple of days.
We are busy planning a number of very special “Escorted” tours and cruises for the next couple of years for our valued travel partners. Cathy Cherrie is meeting tonight with the group that are leaving June 10th for Oberammergau to give them their last minute instructions and their doc’s. We want to wish them a safe journey for this “Once in a lifetime experience”. As we all know this passion play is only every 10 years.
We are in the process of arranging a pilgrimage to the Vatican for next year with Collette Vacations as well as an extensive holiday to Australia & New Zealand also through Collette. We are using Collette because they are one of the best in the field for both destinations. They stay in the Downtown Areas and not outside the cities as other tour operators do. This enables us to really get the greatest experience of all! Most meals are included and their escorts are very knowledgeable in the destinations they sell. We will be notifying you of our Presentation Evenings; however, if you are interested you may call the office at any time and get on the invitation list.
For all of our Chrysler Retirees we have Miki & Moe Closs escorting a cruise in February over Valentine’s Day on the Glory with our entertainers Deb & Ray onboard. It’s a magical time and it should be celebrated! Why not do this with your peers. There will be special evenings planned for you to meet up with your friends from the industry. Miki and Moe are really looking forward to greeting you all aboard the Glory.
Thanks for all that attended our event last week. You’re the best!

 

A "Client Dinner & Mini Travel Trade Show" was held recently on May 26th at the Tecumseh Canadian Legion Hall in Tecumseh.  After a chicken dinner & many awarded door prizes guests were treated to presentations from travel & cruise line representatives and music by Deb & Ray.

Discounted Caribbean Shore Excursions!

 

Your ship is coming in and the cruise date is getting closer every day. NOW is the time to start planning your activities in each port of call.

As an extension of our service to you, we have arranged for you to reserve selected excursions in advance at a discount over the higher onboard rates. In addition to the savings in money, you will also save valuable time onboard having to line up to get your tickets and waiting for hundreds of others off of the ship to select.


Click here to view a great selection of Caribbean tours, from relaxing to exhilarating! You’ll receive your prepaid tickets long before the ship ever sails. Imagine, enjoying the cruise from the minute you step onboard while others line up to make reservations and pick up tickets.
