Hello all! As the emblem states, ‘Let’s Go!’ It’s our new motto around the land of MAGIC, and we’re planning on great things in 2021. It’s no secret that traveling hascome to a “stand-still.” While we are not cruising, sightseeing or exploring now, we are still planning for the future—Why? Because we love to travel and experience new places, people, ideas, and cultures! This new ‘normal’ we keep referencing will definitelychange the way we do things, but it won’t stop us from making journeys to new destinations and meaningful connectionswith others around the world.

With that said, until Americans are able to travel around the world again, we’re focusing this issue of Magic Messages on“close-to-home comfort.” There are incredible travel opportunitiesright here in our own backyard. Beautiful national parks, theGreat Lakes, U.S. rivers, and one of my favorites—Alaska!If you’re like me, you’re ready to turn off the television and travel again! We are seeing more and more friends of MAGIClike yourself starting to book vacations for 2021 and beyond, and I believe there are some exciting travel opportunities that can be accomplished safely, especially in the coming year.

As the travel industry evolves, we’re seeing more flexible policies,allowing for cancellation and/or changes to reservations closerto the departure dates, and providing more flexibility for the travelers to adjust if necessary without financial impact.

And when we are able to travel the world again (and we surehope it’s very soon), Magic Cruises & Tours will be here for you,as we have been for the past 32 years. Our philosophy at MAGIChas always been to put our customers first—get you the bestprice possible and wrap it up to make sure you receive great valuefor the most suitable vacation experience... all at NO cost to you.

So browse this publication and choose a close-to-home vacationidea that speaks to you. It’s time to plan for the future and keepexploring this beautiful country!

Regards,

Patti Cash
