This busy mother of two owns Marlin Travel, a full service travel agency that she began her career with 29 years ago. The team does it all from packages to airline tickets, but Virginia specializes in cruises. A veteran of many cruises, she uses her knowledge of cabin locations, best times to sail certain regions and the benefits of each cruise line to help each guest navigate wisely. “I love helping clients plan their dream cruise,” she says. Cruises can be booked in some cases up to two years in advance and she is currently working on 2019 sail dates for some cruise destinations. Most cruise deposits are refundable so the client has complete flexibility when they take advantage of early bookings. Details are being finalized on our group departure on Celebrity REFLECTION sailing an 11 night ULTIMATE Caribbean itinerary in February 2019. Call Virginia today to discuss your next dream cruise. For those clients limited to weekend getaways, ask us about our departures DIRECT from Peterborough Airport. 158 Casimir Street, Port Perry 905-985-2268 virginia.frew@marlintravel.ca MC MC TICO #4577532 JEAN SCOTT Marlin Travel A travel professional is like your own concierge, better connected, faster than the internet and able to book the un-bookable with a single call.
