Get a deal on Celebrity’s 18-night Pacific cruise

Most cruises in the South and West Pacific don’t allow for much time in the ports. Enrichment Journeys solves that problem with a package that starts with a weeklong land tour of Australia before embarking on an 18-night Celebrity Cruises itinerary visiting New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii. The Australia tour first explores Sydney before flying to Uluru (Ayers Rock), then moving on to Cairns and Port Douglas and a visit to the Great Barrier Reef. The cruise includes a lot of days at sea but makes port in New Zealand’s Bay of Islands and Auckland; Papeete, Moorea and Bora Bora in French Polynesia; and the Big Island, Maui and Honolulu in Hawaii. The trip, which departs the U.S. on April 2, 2018, is priced from $7,999 per person, double occupancy, including round-trip air from Los Angeles. Air add-on is $300 from New York, $400 from Chicago and $450 from Orlando, Fla. Other gateways available. Info: 888-546-8617, http://tinyurl.com/jyghmsw

Lots of winners

If you have a lot of time on your hands and are searching for new travel destinations, you might want to look over the list of 2016 World Travel Awards that were handed out in December. The reason you’ll need lots of time is that virtually any category of travel you can think of is included in the list, from the world’s leading adventure tour operator to the best desert resort. Adding to the voluminous list of kudos are categories for each continent, the Caribbean, etc. That’s a lot of awards, which tends to take off the luster. But maybe you’ll find a gem you never heard of, like that winning desert resort, Bab Al Shams Desert Resort Spa in Dubai. www.worldtravelawards.com
