ESCAPE THE WINTER BLUES AND DIVE INTO CURACAO!

Swap those scarves and mittens for flippers and tanks! This winter season divers will want to head for the warmer waters of the world’s newest country, Curaçao. The island is helping travelers flee those icy winter months with an “Escape the Winter Blues” offer that is making quite a splash. Vacationers tired of dreary days and shivery nights can book a holiday in beautiful, colorful Curaçao and save money by getting a fourth night free!

Take a moment to sip on the famous BLUE Curacao Liqueur while enjoying views of the island’s azure-BLUE waters and feel your winter BLUES simply melt away!

With the “Escape the Winter Blues” offer, divers can explore some of Curacao’s 60 pristine dive sites, or spend the day indulging in all the island has to offer – from lounging on one of Curacao’s nearly 40 secluded beaches, to tasting the rich flavors of the local cuisine. The island has a little something for everyone!

What’s more, Curaçao enjoys an ideal locale, situated in between Aruba and Bonaire, just 35 miles north of Venezuela. Unlike many Caribbean islands, your diving will be uninterrupted by rough waters, as Curaçao is on the fringe of the hurricane belt and has avoided hurricane activity for 124 years.

Book the “Escape the Winter Blues” offer from November 1 through January 8, 2011 for stays from January 1 to April 1, 2011 to take advantage of this deal.
