Insight launches 2008 “USA & Canada” brochure

Insight Vacations has launched its “USA & Canada” brochure for 2008, highlighted by an early booking promotion offering savings of $600 per couple. The offer is valid on bookings made and paid in full by Sept. 30 for 2008 USA & Canada tours for travel April 1 through Dec. 31, 2008. With the growing popularity of Insight’s North American product, many of the most sought-after dates and tours are selling out months in advance so the early-booking promotion alloys travellers to guarantee their desired tour and save money at the same time. As well as a range of destinations, from coast to coast in both Canada and the US, Insight offers a selection of transportation modes. As well as its own luxurious coaches, Insight offers rail journeys, like VIA Rail’s The Canadian and The Rocky Mountaineer. Cruise options are also featured on both coasts, in conjunction with Holland America Line. New for 2008 is the Glorious Alaskan Adventure, a 10-day tour that can be combined with a seven-day Inside Passage cruise along the Alaskan and British Columbian coast to Vancouver.
