I think one of the smartest ways to see the real Barcelona is to select one district at a time and then walk it. You'll soon find yourself immersed in the culture forgetting you're a tourist.

Join us for our Extraordinary Experiences Event, featuring our luxury cruise partners:
‣ Regent Seven Seas Cruises®
‣ Seabourn®
‣ Silversea®

Luxury and expedition cruising is one of the fastest growing segments in the industry. Guests can expect to cruise on smaller, more intimate ships, and to more unique destinations that larger ships just can't reach.

Learn how you can make up for lost time with a spectacular once-in-a-lifetime vacation!

Did you know that booking with a travel agent could save you money!

It is a common misconception that using a travel agent will cost you more money. In reality, you are still paying fees when you book by yourself online; those fees are simply paid to the online portal rather than a person who is there to support you during every step of your planning process.

Booking through a travel agent is recommended because they have access to many different websites and portals, allowing them to find the best price for you. Not only that, but Expedia Cruises has access to exclusive group rates and offers on holidays like cruises. That means that not only do we have an opportunity to find you a better rate, but these groups will sometimes include exciting amenities like onboard credits.

The Greenhouse Spa is available on select Holland America ships, including the Rotterdam, and Nieuw Statendam. This full-service salon is bordered by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, treatment rooms and a nearby Fitness Center. The crown jewel of the Greenhouse Spa, however, is its Thermal Suite and Hydrotherapy pool.

On this day in 1899, this iconic monument made its debut at the Champ de Mars in Paris. Today, the Eiffel Tower remains the most visited paid-for monument in the world, welcoming millions of visitors each year.

Have you ever visited the Eiffel Tower in person?

When I travel, I like to visit the most eastern, most western, southern or northern tips, high elevations or just special places in a country. We have friends who are working their way through the alphabet visiting countries that start with a letter of the alphabet that they have yet to visit.
Do you have any fun traditions that help you decide where to go or what to visit on a vacation?

Sometimes we do not have to travel very far to learn more about the history of our province and have a wonderful vacation.

HOW WE WILL BE HELPING TO SUPPORT UKRAINE

As an Eastern European Market, the situation in Ukraine hits home for many of our friends, family, and staff members. A number of our staff are from Ukraine, and the anxiety, stress, and worry that comes with knowing family is currently over there during this time is unimaginable. Therefore, we want to help and provide options to support those in Ukraine that have been displaced and are in need of assistance with food, water, and shelter.

Starting tomorrow, we will have the QR code, pictured below, posted at our cash registers for the foreseeable future. This QR code is a direct link to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal organized by the Canada-Ukraine Foundation. You can use this link to donate directly to humanitarian efforts happening in Ukraine.
Donations will also be accepted directly at the cash registers if you would like to donate, the cashiers will be able to add a donation onto your purchase.

On Saturday, March 5th, we at European Deli and Produce Market will be donating 50% of every purchase made at our store all day to Ukrainian Relief. Please come by this Saturday if you are able to, and help us support those in Ukraine.

🇨🇦 Together we stand in support and prayer for all of those being affected by the situation in Ukraine 🇺🇦
