Annual Cruise: Tampa to Toronto, the Long-Way-Around!

Smash that bucket list with this amazing photography trip!  Houston Photowalk's Annual Cruise for 2018 is going to be so epic, you will need a month's vacation!  I finally get to combine my love of cruises and my interest in traveling by rail!  We start off in Tampa Florida and sale on the extremely luxurious  Holland America ship, The Oosterdam.  

We will travel in extreme luxury and visit photo-amazing places like The Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Aruba, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, San Diego, Victoria BC and Vancouver BC.

This includes a FULL DAY transit through the PANAMA CANAL!!

Once we arrive in Vancouver, we will board the Historic VIA Rail Canada, and travel via passenger car through Kamloops, Winnipeg, and finally Toronto Canada.

About the Holland America Oosterdam:

Possessing one of the highest ratios of space per person in the Holland America fleet, the 1,848-passenger Oosterdam boasts innovative, luxurious features. Expanded spa facilities, hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam and aromatherapy rooms. Each stateroom is fitted with a data port for Web access, and there also is an Internet center and library.  Activities onboard include shopping in the duty-free shops, gaming in the casino, or playing on the sports deck. Entertainment is equally varied with nine different nightclubs and lounges. 

About the VIA Rail Canada:

Throughout the colonial period, Canada's vast and far-reaching territory was largely uninhabited. Living conditions were difficult. Harsh winters made travelling almost impossible and many villages were left isolated for months at a time. Automobiles were not yet invented, bicycles still decades away. To allow this country to thrive (as opposed to merely survive), to ensure that travel, commerce and development would flourish, a railway had to be built, one that would alter the course of Canadian and North American history.
