Travel & Cruise Desk

A little glimpse into life on board with Virgin Voyages! 🚢✨

Our travel advisor Melinda recently sailed from Vancouver to Los Angeles, bringing back some beautiful moments from her journey.

From sailing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing Alcatraz at sunrise to beautifully presented meals, ocean views and a little time to unwind, there was plenty to enjoy along the way.

And that's one of the things we love about our advisors getting to experience these journeys firsthand. It's an opportunity to discover the little details, explore what makes each experience special and bring that knowledge back to our travellers.

Swipe through for a little look at Melinda's Virgin Voyages adventure.

Because firsthand experience makes a difference.

Experience Beyond®.

Just a little reminder that BEYOND is happening this Wednesday! ✨

We're getting ready for another afternoon of travel inspiration, great conversations and the chance to connect with our advisors and some of our trusted travel partners.

Whether you have a destination in mind or are simply curious about where your next adventure might take you, we'd love to see you there.

📅 Wednesday, October 14 | 3–7 PM

There’s just something about sweater weather, golden leaves and places that look like they belong in a movie. 🍂

From the colourful temples of Kyoto to the beautiful fall landscapes right here in Oregon, some destinations really know how to put on a show this time of year.

We picked six places around the world that make autumn feel a little extra magical. And if fall travel is on your mind, now is a lovely time to start dreaming about next year's adventures!

Which of these would you love to experience in the fall?

Another great Lake Oswego W**e Walk in the books! 🍷❤️

We always love seeing so many familiar faces, meeting new ones, and getting to spend an afternoon out in the community we’re so proud to call home.

A big thank you to the Arts Council of Lake Oswego for hosting us, and to the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce for another fun and successful W**e Walk!

Events like this are one of the things we appreciate most about being a local, brick-and-mortar business. We get to know our community here at home, build connections, and then we sometimes get to take those connections a little farther around the world.

Which brings us to Tuscany…

We’re so excited to be partnering with the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce and Collette for our October 2027 Tuscany journey: a chance to experience Italy together while continuing to build on the relationships that make our Lake Oswego community such a great place to be.

There’s something pretty wonderful about starting with a glass of w**e here at home and hopefully sharing one together in Tuscany! Learn more 👉🏼 https://travelcruisedesk.com/tuscany27

Meet Mia Bell, one of our amazing travel advisors who strongly believes some of the best travel happens when you slow down and truly experience where you are. 🌎

And she’s pretty great at making sure her clients have the space to do exactly that.
For Mia, that might mean striking up a conversation with someone local, leaving a little breathing room in the itinerary, or simply being present enough to notice the things you could never plan for.

That perspective shapes the way she plans travel, too. By taking care of the details and creating the right rhythm for each journey, Mia gives her clients more space to connect, explore and truly enjoy the experience.

Because sometimes experiencing more isn’t about fitting more in. It’s about having the freedom to be present for what’s already there.

Swipe through to get to know Mia and the perspective she brings to every journey she helps shape.

And if you’d like to talk travel with her in person, join us at BEYOND on October 14 at Ironlight in Lake Oswego. Mia will be there alongside our team to answer questions, share ideas and help you explore what your next journey could look like.
