Scenic Cruising in the Antarctic Peninsula is the most isolated continent on earth, with rugged landscape that is 1200 miles long and reaches beyond the Arctic Circle. Its shores are comprised of unusually sculpted icebergs, blue-tinged
glaciers, majestic mountain peaks and a steep ice shelf. Though the peninsula is
covered in icy tundra, it actually features the mildest climate in Antarctica, the
perfect environment for hosting the only flowering plants on the entire continent,
Antarctic Hair Grass and Antarctic Pearlwort. In addition, the icy waters surrounding
the peninsula cater to various species of seals, penguins and seabirds, including
the Cape Pigeon, the American Sheathbill and the Antarctic Tern.
Not only does this cruise give you ample time seeing Antarctica you also have
ports in South America to visit. Buenos Aires, Argentina is called the “Paris of the
South”, Montevideo, Uruguay is nestled between two giants, Brazil and Argentina
and the second smallest country in South America. The Falkland Islands long
served as a way station for ships, particularly whalers. Colorful houses occupy the
low rolling moorland bordering Stanley Harbor. It is usually cool and rainy and
visitors are often blessed with clear, sunny skies. Cape Horn is widely considered
to be the southernmost tip of South America and you will sail around and view
the culmination of the Andes mountain range. Ushuaia, Argentina serves as the
gateway to snow-capped mountains which plummet to the icy waters of the Beagle
Channel. Glacier viewing is amazing. Santiago, Chile is wine country with its scenic
vineyards. Call or email for a complete itinerary.

Yellowstone National Park is the First National Park in
the U.S. with breathtaking scenery since 1821. It’s wonders
surround you unlike anywhere else. 3500 square miles of
wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly
in Wyoming, the park spreads into parks of Montana and
Idaho as well. It features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush
forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most
famous, Old Faithful. It is also home to hundreds of animal
species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.
Our picnic dinner at sunset will be the best time for
wildlife viewing.
Mt. Rushmore National Memorial is a massive sculpture carved
into Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills region of South Dakota.
Completed in 1941, the sculpture’s roughly 60-ft.-high granite
faces depict U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The Black
Hills are a small in isolated mountain range rising from the Great
Plains of North America in Western South Dakota and extending
into Wyoming. The Black Hills region is becoming known for
more than just pinnacles, kitschy drug stores, and Wild West
history – it’s also something of a craft beer and winemaking
hotspot.
During our visit we will visit Cody, Wyoming and watch the
cowboys, bulls and broncs at the Cody Night Rodeo.
All this on our exciting motorcoach trip to Yellowstone
National Park and so much more. Call for an itinerary for

"Don’t Dress For Dinner"Starring Morgan Fairchild
Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic mistress in his charming country farmhouse on Martha’s Vineyard, while his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a Cordon Bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well... suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will not leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.
"Elvis the Musical" (Includes motorcoach, lunch and show)
A Missouri Professional Premiere! From the creator of Million Dollar Quartet, this official biography-musical (formerly titled Heartbreak Hotel) follows the tender story of Elvis Presley in the early years of his career as he and Sam Phillips create the music that will forever change their lives. This new musical explores these pivotal moments through the perspectives of those who knew him best, spanning from his impoverished childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi to his triumphant 1968 “Comeback Special,” and his assent to be “The King.” Elvis the Musical features over 40 Elvis hits and iconic songs including “That’s All Right,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “That’s All Right Momma,” “Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” and “Heartbreak Hotel.” This is where the story begins… “Take a walk down lonely street.”
"The Play that Goes Wrong" Starring Armin Shimerman from Star Trek Deep Space Nine
The Play that goes wrong is a comedy about a small theater company staging a production of a 1920’s-style murder mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor but when the curtain goes up, everything quickly goes from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Hilariously funny.
"Lion King" at the Fabulous Fox
This amazing production tells the story of a group of animals living on the African plains. It opens with the birth of King Mustafa’s firstborn son. The live show uses unique costumes and human-operated puppets to recreate the famous movie scene in which Simba is presented to the kingdom. Throughout the story, Simba’s uncle, Scar plots to remove the king and take over the kingdom. Simba must learn to believe in himself and find the courage to confront his evil uncle for the good of the kingdom as well as to get justice for his father. Winner of best musical awards and best scenic design. Cost for Orchestra level seating for Lion King, luncheon on the hill and motor coach is $150 per person.
"Disney’s Freaky Friday" (Includes motorcoach, lunch and show)
A fast-paced, fun filled, very funny musical with a great message for all ages. This show is a new musical adaptation of the beloved novel and the hit Disney films. It is a heartfelt, comedic and unexpectedly emotional update on the American Classic. When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn self-acceptance and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
