Join Father Frank Wagner, CSC on a
Celtic Legends Cruise
August
2
– 14, 2010
Aboard Holland America
Line's ms Westerdam
Dear Friends in Travel:
You
may have traveled with Fr. Frank Wagner in the past! Brinkman Travel is
most grateful to have had the opportunity to organize seven pilgrimage
tours under
Fr. Frank's Spiritual Leadership.
Fr.
Frank left St. Kevin's Church in Welland in 2004 and moved to Toronto.
Although he is no longer in a parish in St. Catharines Diocese, but Pastor
of St. Ann Church in Toronto, the contacts and friendships he has made in
Niagara remain close.
When
Fr. Frank told me that he would be the Chaplain on board the ms Westerdam,
and sailing from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, my ears perked up. I asked
him if he would consider inviting his past pilgrims and their friends to
join him on this cruise.
Although
Father won't be the cruise leader, he will say daily Mass for you, and
also for all other guests on board. In addition he will have other
responsibilities while sailing, but I am sure he will take time out to
meet with you and perhaps share some shore excursions with you.
Here
is the route and itinerary for the Celtic Legends cruise so that you may
exactly see where you are sailing and the hours you are in port.

Brinkman
Travel has been able to negotiate special group prices, hence we can offer
an inside stateroom (cat. J) for CAD $2675 per person, based on double
occupancy and including taxes and fees. Not included is the airfare to
Amsterdam and a train/ coach to Rotterdam to board the ship. We won't
have airfares until later this year, but estimate $1200 for August 1020. A
train ride is rather inexpensive, as the distance between Amsterdam and
Rotterdam is only 60 km. An upgrade to an outside stateroom on the ship is
$370 per person more (cat. D); a balcony is $1150 (VD) more, and a
superior verandah (SS) suite would be $2109 extra. These are sample fares;
other categories are on requests.
We
book cruises on a first come/first served basis; hence for best available
stateroom and best price, I recommend you call me now at 905.988.9100 for
an appointment in our new offices in downtown St. Catharines, so we may
make the arrangements and book the cabin of your choice! A guest deposit
of CAD $360 per person is required at the time of booking and final
payment will be due by mid May.
I
look forward to hearing if we may welcome you and thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely
yours,
