Dear Club Members,
Is anyone besides me up for a Spring 2010 Club Cuvaison Mediterranean Cruise?
Join me in welcoming our partner Windstar Cruises back for this adventure. It’s hard to believe it was 10 years ago when we first cruised together with Windstar! Karen and I still have fond memories of sailing with you while visiting Bodrum, Turkey; Rhodes and Santorini, Greece, as I hope you do too.
Our 6th club cruise sails from Lisbon to Barcelona departing April 4, 2010 and visits the ports of Tangier, Morocco; Malaga, Spain; Alicante, Spain; Palma de Mallorca, Spain; and Valencia, Spain. A week of exploring hidden harbors & secluded coves in the world’s most sought-after destinations aboard one of three luxury yachts operated by Windstar.
Of course our good friends at Doctor Travel have once again put together great pricing and amenities for club members with additional ship-board credits for those who place a deposit before Feb. Please contact the team at doctortravelinc.com (or call 800-466-2784) or see below for more details.
So please join Karen, Doctor Travel and me on a memorable April 2010 Mediterranean cruise.
Cheers and Bon Voyage!
Jay Schuppert

Port of Call - Details
Lisbon, Portugal
One of Europe’s smallest capital cities, Lisbon is for many, one of it most beguiling – an easily accessible mix of new and old worlds. Elegant outdoor cafés line Lisbon’s mosaic cobblestone sidewalks along grand 18th-century boulevards. Turn-of-the-century funiculars dot its steep hills. Two-thirds of the city was leveled in a 1755 earthquake, but in its churches, peeling buildings, tiny alleyways and hidden squares, you can still feel the glorious past.
Shore Excursions | Port Tips
Tangier, Morocco
Just a hop across the Straits from Spain, Morocco is another world: an Islamic world, intoxicating and intense. In Tangier’s old town, you’ll find a medina (marketplace) filled with carpets, spices, copper, and merchants who expect you to bargain hard. Take time out for a Morrocan specialty, mint tea, in a tea shop lining the Petit Soco. Or visit the Kasbah with its palace and mysterious charm.
Malaga, Spain
Malaga is the major coastal city of Andalucia and is a genuine and typical Andaluz city with a gritty individualism untouched by tourism and, to a large extent, the passage of time. The Moors occupied the city until the mid fifteenth century, after which it grew to become one of the foremost merchant centres in the entire Iberian Peninsula. Pablo Picasso is the city’s famous son (not counting Antonio Banderas of course!) and there are several galleries showing his work, including the 16th century Museum of Fine Arts.
Shore Excursions | Port Tips
Alicante, Spain
Alicante is a province of eastern Spain, in the southern part of the Valencian Community. It is bordered by the provinces of Murcia on the southwest, Albacete on the west, Valencia on the north, and the Mediterranean Sea on the east. Famous for its excellent weather, the city invites you to take a trip along the coast or to the wonderful island of Tabarca. Along the Alicante harbor you will find beautiful long alleys for nice relaxing walks, enjoying the palm trees and the mild climate. With many historical buildings around the entire city, Alicante offers countless sightseeing attractions, from cathedrals to churches and of course a wonderful harbor area. In addition to sightseeing, direct from the harbor area, a long wide sandy beach leads its way up to San Juan. Just drop your towel on the sand and enjoy a wonderful day in the sun.
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Mallorca is an island of emerald mountains, turquoise seas, lemon and orange orchards, olive groves, and cedar-studded hills. In Palma, the capital, you’ll find a dramatic seafront cathedral to explore and leafy promenades to stroll. Visit the Arab Baths for a glimpse of the town’s Moorish past. Or simply enjoy the sun, sand, and sea that have beguiled celebrities, jet setters, and royal families for years.
Valencia, Spain
Between the sea and the sky, it's easy to surrender to Valencia, the host city of America's Cup 2007. Valencia is a striking, captivating and unforgettable city, which transmits a world of sensations and should be visited slowly. Take your time, stop at one of the many terraces and gardens, and relax in this superb setting. The best way to visit the monuments is by strolling through its streets, coming across its hidden secrets.
Barcelona, Spain
Capital of proud Catalonia, Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city like no other. Old and new combine in Barcelona; narrow Gothic Quarter alleyways contrast with grand boulevards. Everywhere, the city celebrates the work of Gaudi, its surreal modernist hometown architect. The city also boasts an incredible collection of Picasso’s work. Stroll down Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s wide tree-lined boulevard and enjoy the street carnival. Enjoy delectable tapas in the many restaurants and bars. See what the Olympic fervor was all about.
