Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
If you’re on our mailing list, then you know we’ve just announced our June specials. And if you’re not on our mailing list – don’t miss out! We send out just the right amount of email, never spam – just the right amount to ensure you’ve always got fun options for a trip to the Wonderful World of Whiteway! You can sign up here.
You can also see all our June specials here. Hint, hint: if you love travelling with your pets, or you love seafood, you don’t want to miss these limited time offers!
Here’s a hearty ‘hello’ and ‘welcome to the Ocean Delight family,’ to the lovely and talented Lindsay! Lindsay arrived last week from Mexico, where she worked steadfastly in the tourism industry – she brings a lot to the table and we can’t wait to see her in action. She says she was getting tired of the heat, but really, we think she had just heard lots of wonderful things about the Wonderful World of Whiteway!
We’re thrilled to have Lindsay on board. She is replacing wonderful Dana while she’s on maternity leave (mom and baby are doing great!). So she has big shoes to fill – but we’re sure she’s up to the task. And if you’re a bride or groom working with The Doctor’s House, or interested in our corporate events, you might be hearing a lot more from her soon!
We are manning a booth at the Downhome Expo all weekend long, and we hope you’ll join us! We have Booth 22 in Arena 2 and we will be giving away a Spring Fling Package (a $350 value, including tax). The Downhome Expo of course is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, at the Glacier Arena in Mount Pearl. Do stop by!
If you’re a little bit obsessed with the tourism industry in Newfoundland (like we are), or facing retirement and not sure what you’re going to do with yourself (like I was), then check out this great article by Jeff Green of Memorial University. It was my pleasure to chat with Jeff, and then later to read this wonderful piece. Please let me know what you think!
The Doctor’s House opens today, and we’ve got a fun way to kick off our season. We tend to book up quickly, but last minute cancellations can and do happen. And since we’re only an hour outside St. John’s, we know lots of locals would love to come out here to the Bacalieu Trail more often.
So, introducing The Doctor’s Last Minute Club! Anytime we have last-minute openings or specials, you’ll be the first to know. It’s a great way to squeeze in a few weekend getaways this summer at a great price. Sign up here!
If you’ve been dreaming about that road trip to Newfoundland, then this is the summer to do it. For a limited time, Marine Atlantic is offering big savings for Argentia travel. If you book your summer trip by March 25 (hurry – that’s next Wednesday!), you can save 30 % off the base fares for both passengers and automobiles. And remember, the cottages are only about an hour away from the Argentia ferry terminal, if you feel like stopping in!
We’re so happy about this news and the opportunity to share it. We know that Newfoundland is at the top of so many bucket lists, but we all have limited budgets for travel. We hope this will make it just that much easier for more people to come explore this beautiful province. Make sure to let your friends living away know, too – this could be the push they need to make this a come-home year.
Find all the details on the Marine Atlantic website, here.
