Welcome (Back!) with Black Friday Deals, a New Contest and More

Hello or hello again if you've recently joined World's Greatest Cruises. It’s the perfect time to relaunch our newsletter! Discover fresh video content, the latest season of the TV series that's rolling out across PBS stations right now from coast to coast, our new partnerships and the best Black Friday cruise deals, and our very first contest. 

Latest Season of the TV series airing now on PBS stations:

In the latest Season of World’s Greatest Cruises, we cruised from pole to pole – literally! We feature episodes in Antarctica and the Arctic – and yes, I did polar plunges at both ends of the earth.  Plus river cruising, Christmas markets, off-the-beaten track cruising in the Caribbean and our closest cruise to home ever – in the Great Lakes. 

There are trailers for each of the latest episodes on the World’s Greatest Cruises website. 

To watch entire episodes, find or ask for World’s Greatest Cruises on your Local PBS Stationby clicking here. 

World’s Greatest Cruises is also available to stream on demand via PBS Passport. Visit www.pbs.org/show/worlds-greatest-cruises/ to watch online.

If you’re one of the lovely cruise travelers we’ve met while filming, don’t miss the episodes – and check to see if you ended up with a cameo in our footage! 

Black Friday Cruise Deals

Some of the best cruise deals of the year are taking place right now, and we wanted to share the generous offers from our cruise line partners with you. You’ll find them listed below in this newsletter, with some great WGC video to inspire you with each offer, and on the World’s Greatest Cruises website. 

Which brings us to… 

Our New Partner: the Jerne Community of Top Travel Advisors

Many people ask me for advice about booking cruises, and I’m happy to share any information and play cruise matchmaker ( I currently have a perfect record of matching people to cruises)!

However, I’m not a travel advisor. And we wanted to make it easy for people inspired by World’s Greatest Cruises to book, with the knowledge they were working with the best, most knowledgeable travel advisors with the best customer service. 

I’m proud to say, with our new partnership with the Jerne Community of travel advisors, we are working with vetted advisors with the highest credentials and expertise in providing their travel clients with the kind of service we’d like associated with the ‘World’s Greatest’ cruises. 

Feel free to reach out via the form on our website to be matched to one of this exclusive community’s advisors best suited to help you plan your next cruise. 

Our Latest E-book and First Contest

To celebrate the latest season of World’s Greatest Cruises, we’re launching our first contest! 

It’s inspired by our latest e-book. You may be surprised that the question I get most often is ‘What should I pack on my cruise?’ So we turned it into an e-book. 

And we debuted our first contest for anyone signing up for this newsletter to be entered into a draw for one of my favorite travel accessories: a Longchamp, foldable and expandable travel bag, perfectly chic, perfectly practical!

*** As a member of the World’s Greatest Cruises community who has signed up for our newsletters, you’re already entered in the draw. But do tell your friends and family who may be interested in cruising. 

Good luck in the draw, hope you find some inspiring cruise ideas, and hope to see you on a ship soon!

Until next time, wishing you fair winds and following seas.

Lynn Elmhirst, 

Producer and host of World’s Greatest Cruises
