Christmas in Las Vegas – A Top Destination for Christmas Travel

If you are planning to spend a quiet Christmas in Las Vegas this year, you will not be alone. According to a recent PR from Priceline.com – Las Vegas is the top destination for travel this Christmas season.

Christmas in Las Vegas is magical with an abundance of holiday cheer and dazzling Christmas lights and beautiful holiday decorations.

Many people want to escape the chilling cold weather and desire a warmer destination to enjoy their Christmas vacation. Las Vegas is a great choice but even though summer temps sizzle over 100 degrees, don’t expect that in December. Las Vegas can of course be warm, but don’t be surprised for much cooler weather. Even snow is possible, but rather rare.

If you check out the list of Most Popular Destinations for Christmas Travel 2015 from Priceline based on hotel reservations, you’ll see many popular cities.

The 25 top city destinations are listed below:

Since 2013, the following 4 cities in the U.S. continue to dominate the list – Las Vegas, Orlando, New York City, and Orange County.

The top 25 list did have some shuffling that we wanted to point out. Atlanta made a big jump, up from #43 to #14. Tampa moved from #45 to #29. Washington ended in the #13 spot, up from #32 last year. Nashville came in at #50, up 22 spots from #28.

One of the reasons many people want to spend Christmas in Las Vegas is because of the great deals on hotel rates.

New, Luxury China Cruise Liner to Launch in 2020

When complete, the first, luxury cruise liner built in China will be greater than twice as large as the Titanic. Although it won’t be making its maiden voyage until 2020, the new China cruise liner will be massive.

The luxury China cruise liner will be built by the largest largest shipbuilder – China State Shipbuilding Corp or CSSC. In a joint venture with Carnival Corporation, the two companies signed a staggering £2.6 billion agreement. Carnival is the largest cruise ship operator in the world, so it’s a great fit to help build the biggest China cruise liner.

In addition to the two companies named above, China Investment Corp (CIC) is also involved in the joint venture. CIC is one of the biggest sovereign wealth management funds anywhere in the world.

The focus is to clearly create a new luxury cruise-line industry in China and capture a share of this booming, worldwide market. Chinese travelers have caught the cruise bug and are cruising in record numbers. Tourist industry analysts are projecting that mainland Chinese travelers will spend approximately US$11.5 million on cruises by 2018. That number was about US$6.8 billion in 2013, so the estimate is almost doubling

The new cruise ship is expected to carry about 5,000 passengers and weigh about 130,000 tons. The ship will also be about 300 meters long.

Alan Buckelew is the Global Chief Operations Officer at Carnival and was quoted, “This joint venture is a significant step forward for the cruise industry in China and a tremendous opportunity … to increase awareness, interest and demand for cruise vacations among domestic Chinese travelers.”

The role that Carnival Corp will fulfill in this joint venture is to do “ship design and shipbuilding expertise”. Carnival currently operates to other cruise line brands – Princess Cruises in China and Costa Cruises.

To give you a great example of how much mainland China travelers love to cruise, they accounted for about a 45% increase over 2013, totaling almost 740k passengers in 2014. We expect 2015 to also show a large year over year increase.

As China continues to grow as a leading travel country, we should see more news on new cruise ships and joint ventures to capitalize on the business opportunity.

A Fabulous Winter Stay in a Luxury Chalet

A luxury chalet is one of many traditional wooden lodges found in the scenic Alps of Europe.  Most people don’t immediately place a luxury tag to a log cabin, but don’t be misled. Many of these chalets are spectacular and luxurious, in every sense of the word.

While a luxury chalet may certainly look comfortable, it would be hard to say that a log cabin is in any way luxurious. Just like hotels, a winter luxury chalet comes in many sizes and categories.

Chalet Ref. Voglite in Val d’Isere in France
