Holistic Vegan, Vegetarian, and Yoga Cruises
"The 'Voyage to Well Being' was such an inspiring vacation that I signed up my entire family for the next year before I left the ship! What a fantastic way to combine enlightening seminars with interesting ports of call while avoiding the hassles of transportation and the search for quality food. And as an added bonus--the opportunity to form friendships for a lifetime!"

Need to find a roommate? The rate for single occupancy is approximately 1.5 times the double occupancy rate. If you do not want to room alone, it may be possible to find a compatible roommate and pay the double occupancy rate. However, this may take some flexibility on your part regarding the room category you choose. For detailed information please call Jan at 828-749-9537.

Pre- and Post-Cruise Accommodations
In addition to blocking rooms at some basic inns near the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the Cruiseport for those of you who will be arriving a day or more in advance of the March 21, 2010 cruise departure and need a place to stay, this year we have a new and exciting alternative. The Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa has arranged a special healthy vacation package for Holistic Holiday at Sea guests. The Pritkin Center is closer to the Miami Airport, but is within about 30 minutes of the Ft. Lauderdale Airport as well. The Pritikin Center and two of the inns also have rooms blocked for those staying in the area after the cruise. This is the busiest season in Florida, so make your reservations early. Click here for information and instructions for booking rooms. If these choices do not meet your needs, please call us (1-800-496-0989) regarding rooms at more upscale hotels that Costa Cruise Lines will be offering, call the Greater Ft. Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau: 954-765-4466 or 1-800-22-SUNNY, or click on this link to the Fort Lauderdale Int'l Airport Hotel Network.

Excursions
Costa offers a variety of shore excursions in the ports of call. You will find a wide choice of relaxing, natural and cultural tours suitable for older and younger guests, as well as more active and sports-oriented excursions for those who prefer a little more adventure. Once you have booked the cruise, using your booking number, you can register and reserve the excursions of your choice on the Costa website (www.costacruises.com), or you can sign up on board at the Excursions desk. It is not possible to reserve excursions in advance by phone. Click here for a list of the rates of descriptions of the shore excursions offered by Costa during our March 21-28, 2010 cruise.
