treasures you find straight out of history books and fairytales—charming squares, magnificent cathedrals, bustling

marketplaces—often just a stroll away from the ship. There is no waiting in long lines to get on or off the ship, and there

are always amazing things to see—scenic vineyards, historic castles, or countless UNESCO World Heritage Sites—from the

comfort of your stateroom.

TESTIMONIALS This was a well planned, well executed CME. I’ll recommend it to colleagues. Dr. E. Udoeyop, Cornwall ON

At CMEatSEA you really are treated as ‘family’. Dr. Bob Thompson, Drayton Valley AB

This adventure was without a doubt the best of our five CME trips: dramatic in ways we could never have anticipated. It is difficult to identify highlights in such a successful journey but the outstanding event was Lunch on the Great Wall. That is unlikely to ever be equaled. Close seconds were the sampan races, Geiko evening, the tea ceremony and the kids at Wanzou. Dr. Robert Fairbairn, Chatham ON

Well worthwhile. Refreshing approach to CME. Dr. Peter Methven, Langley BC

My wife and I were overwhelmed by your hospitality, efficiency and excellence on this trip. We want to thank everybody that made this trip such a super experience. We will definitely see you on a future program! Thank you again! Dr. Fanie De Nysschen, Cabri SK

I really enjoyed the CMEatSEA and our 1st cruise. It was a very good balance of life, vacation and education. The CMEatSEA was very well organized. Dr. Dennis Dahl, Moose Factory ON

You have a high caliber of speakers. I usually don’t expect to have this much new information from most seminars. Dr. Anthony Lam, Calgary AB

As you advertise – a trip of a lifetime. Dr. Denis Lacroix, Hearst ON

Overall, the experience was fantastic. The attention to detail and organization was great. It was wonderful to not have to wrestle with our luggage. The shore excursions and activities were wonderful. Dr. Winston Jong, Mississauga ON

The organization, attention to detail, the quality of CME, and excursions were superb. Dr. William Cross, Cobourg ON

This was the best organized of the 3 cruises that I have presented at. Your attention to detail was amazing. Family felt part of the experience. Dr. Roman Jovey (presenter), Mississauga ON
