Dear Listener,

My cruise is officially an adult! Next year will be my 18th annual WISN listener cruise. It has grown from a world class vacation into one that is a dream of a lifetime. Thousands of my listeners have joined me for lots of fun and great times in my previous 17 trips, but the 2009 event will be in, literally, another world.

The 2009 Mark Belling cruise to the South Pacific will be traveling to the most exotic destinations in the world -- Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Raiatea and Motu Mahana. It has always been a goal of mine to see these places that have produced so many stunning pictures and compelling tales. I’m finally going and you get to come along.

It gets better. Not only are we going to the most sought after islands in the world, we will be traveling on one of the greatest cruise ships ever built. The MS Paul Gauguin was created by Regent Seven Seas Cruises specifically to cruise Tahiti and the South Pacific. It is truly a “five star” cruise ship (actually six stars by one respected reviewer) that has been RATED THE NUMBER ONE CRUISE SHIP IN THE WORLD. This ultra-deluxe smaller ship (only 330 guests) gives us the best of both worlds -- access to islands that today’s mega-liners can only dream of visiting, but with all the amenities found on much larger cruise ships.

The Paul Gauguin features wonderful staterooms, world class dining and several bars and lounges. And, imagine this: all of the food AND drinks are included in the price of the cruise. No staggering bar bill at the end of the week. In fact, just about everything is included. The price includes round trip airfare all the way to Tahiti, your choice of selected fine wines and spirits throughout the cruise, incredible cuisine at two fine dining restaurants, a casual outdoor restaurant, and room service in your beautiful stateroom. In addition, there are NO tips or gratuities (they’re all included). The refrigerator in your stateroom will be restocked daily at absolutely no charge.

It gets even better. My 2009 cruise includes two days at the exclusive InterContinental Resort Tahiti, a resort that is part of the prestigious InterContinental hotel chain. This incredible beachfront facility is located on the island of Tahiti, with a stunning view of nearby Moorea. (Your 2-night pre-cruise stay is included in our package price.)

My past cruisers know that I take great pride in the quality of my annual cruises. This is a huge step forward that will be unlike anything I’ve ever hosted. Because the ship is relatively small, our group size is strictly limited to 165 guests (half the ship). I expect an immediate sellout. For the 18th year, my cruise will be personally escorted by Dennis and Peggy Crull of Cruise & Tour. Their special attention makes my cruisers extra special. For the vacation of a lifetime, call Dennis and Peggy or any of the Cruise & Tour staff at 1-800-383-3131. To paraphrase Alice Cooper, “my cruise is 18, 18, and I like it……I like it!”

     

P.S. A note to my male listeners: If you enjoy wearing a tux, this is NOT the cruise for you. All evenings on the Paul Gauguin are “country club casual.” Wear a jacket if you like, or not, but leave your ties at home!
