glacier-carved granite mountains while a National Park Ranger narrates.
Immediately after our tour, our charter bus will take us to the historic Ahwahnee Hotel for lunch in the fabulous dining room with huge granite pillars

In response to

Get into the
Christmas spirit by joining us on this exciting Christmas musicals tour. The
first day we will travel to Ontario and check in to the Hampton Inn at Ontario
Mills Mall. There will be time for shopping before we leave for a fast-paced
song and dance show at Tibbie’s in their new theatre in Fontana. The next day
we’ll have a leisurely morning, then lunch on the way to a matinee at Citrus
College where students put on a show with an orchestra, chorus and dancers. This
is a very popular show that has been presented at Citrus College for years.
After a short rest back at our hotel, we’ll head to Riverside and visit the

Riverside, we’ll go to the Candlelight Pavilion in Claremont for their evening
Christmas dinner show. The third morning we’ll depart Ontario and return to Lake

This is a great way to see Mexico without worrying about the food and water. You
sleep in the same stateroom each night and enjoy the great food onboard the
beautiful Carnival Splendor. The west coast of Mexico is far from the route for
those bringing drugs to the US. In our opinion, visiting Mexican ports-of-call
is safer than visiting many large US cities, especially Washington, DC. The
international staff will work hard to make this an enjoyable cruise for you.
Each night you will experience great dinners and fabulous broadway-style
entertainment. During the day, enjoy the many activities on board our ship.
Shore excursions are available in our three ports-of-call, Cabo San Lucas,
Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. The weather is generally in the low to mid-80’s at
this time of year. We provide motorcoach transportation from Lake Havasu City to
the ship and arrange for the handling of your luggage so you can relax and have
fun. Select from inside cabins (no window) at $919; oceanview cabins at $999 and
balcony cabins at $1,159. Prices are per person based on double occupancy.
Single occupancy prices are $1,378, $1,538 and $$1,858 respectively. A valid
passport is required. The deposit is $250 per person at booking. Call or email
us for a detailed itinerary.
