Goway offers an enchanting cruise in the heart of China on the most beautiful stretch of the world’s third longest river and longest river in Asia, the famed Yangtze. Travelers can see both ancient and modern China collide. A typical day on board starts with a morning of Tai-Chi overlooking the mists of the river, and shore excursions to the many stops along the waterway and ending with the glorious sunset and evening cocktails in the ship’s lounge. Shore excursions include Fengdu, known as “City of Ghosts” where the many temples house silent ghost devils, as well as the famous Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and its tributaries.

Goway offers several cruise options both upstream for five days and downstream for four days. The Yangzi Explorer from $1315 CAD is on board the 6-star Orient Royal Cruiseline and sets the standard for luxury. This is the leading ship to course the Yangtze and also one of the few ships to sail it year-round.

The President Cruise line from $535 CAD, has several vessels including the flagship, five-star President Prime renowned for its high quality and elegant first-class service. Goway also offers the three-star President #1 from $425 CAD.

Goway’s 14 day China Odyssey also includes a tour on the Yangtze river, a great value and popular small group journey from $2,674 CAD as well as the 18 day exclusive Holidays of a Lifetime brand, Splendours of China and Tibet from $5814 CAD.

“This is a once in a lifetime travel idea and the only way to check this off from a ‘bucket list’ is to do it in style,” says Stephanie Rowe, Goway’s China Specialist. “I highly suggest clients splurge on the deluxe cruising options and upper deck cabins.”

Goway offers dream honeymoon and destination wedding ideas in the affordable paradise of Thailand. It is one of the most popular destinations for travellers headed for South East Asia seeking the exotic tropical islands mixed with a unique culture. There is plenty to experience, whether it’s riding an elephant through the forests of Chiang Mai, exploring the many temples and shops in dynamic Bangkok or simply sipping a Mai Thai on a pristine beach and taking complete advantage of what this country has to offer. The plethora of accommodation options, from unique eco-lodges to 5-star distinguished resorts, will suit every couple’s budget.

“Thailand is a place that gives special attention to newly wed couples. Many resorts have exclusive bonuses to honeymooners, such as free massages, spa treatments, private couple’s dinner and flower bouquets,” says Bronwyn Hodge, Goway’s Asia Product Coordinator. “Often we find it’s the groom who chooses the honeymoon destination as the bride takes on planning the wedding… I can only imagine that there must be some fear that exists for men in making the wrong decision for the honeymoon,” added Hodge. It’s not the time to skimp on the budget, so as an agent, don’t be afraid to up sell.”

Experience relaxation in beautiful and tranquil surroundings on Goway’s Thai beach escapes for 7-12 days in Phuket from $289 CAD or Samui from $365 CAD. This package includes accommodations, breakfast daily and transfers.

Couples seeking the full Thailand experience from bustling Bangkok, cultural Chiang Mai and one of the popular beaches should go on Goway’s Classic Thailand with Phuket or Samui from $719 CAD. This includes: three nights in Bangkok, three nights in Chiang Mai, three nights in Phuket or Samui, all accommodations, most meals, all city tours, Thai dinner with classical dancing, floating market, cultural show, visit to hilltribes and all transfers.

Goway can even help arrange beach weddings, special ceremonies and also has an online honeymoon registry.

Japanese have a very unique version of celebrating the romantic Valentine’s Day holiday: only the women give presents (usually chocolate) to men. According to theory, Valentine’s Day became a great opportunity for shy women to show their true feelings. The favour of gift giving is supposed to be returned by men a month later on March 14th, known as “White Day.”

One of the most romantic times to visit Japan is during the famous Cherry Blossom Season, which typically takes place in early April. “The flowers can be seen throughout Japan, although there are various hotspots such as Ueno Park or along the banks of the Sumida river in Tokyo.” Says Shawn Mohan, Goway’s Japan Specialist. “It’s a really popular time to go and the weather in Spring is ideal.”

Goway’s Japan In Depth for 8 days from $3099 CAD, is a great way to take in Japan’s highlights and brilliant natural scenery during this festive time. These fragile blossoms are only in bloom for a short period of time, so it’s best to book a trip soon to see Japan in a romantic explosion of pink and white!
