Fort Myers-based All Aboard Travel Secures Three Private Performances With “Florida’s Hottest Doo Wop Group”

Fort Myers, FL (September 17, 2015) — Today, All Aboard Travel announced details for the return of its exclusive “Cruisin’ with The Goldtones” cruise aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Star, along with what special amenities its clients will receive, including three private performances by The Goldtones. Known as “Florida’s Hottest Doo Wop Group,” featuring favorite tunes from the 50s, 60s and 70s, The Goldtones cruise will depart from Tampa, Florida on February 28, 2016, and make stops in: Roatan, Bay Islands; Harvest Caye, Belize; and Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, and the package includes roundtrip motorcoach transportation from select Florida cities. Fort Myers-based All Aboard Travel is the exclusive travel agency and coordinator for this unique themed cruise.

“We are extremely thrilled to bring back the ever-popular ‘Cruisin’ with the Goldtones’ cruise for the second time. After last year’s great success and massive turnout, we knew that this was something our guests would continue to talk about and enjoy year after year,” said Sharon Concepcion, Director of All Aboard Travel. “For this voyage, and like many of our other packages, All Aboard Travel offers clients an all-inclusive price for worldwide ports-of-call for both individuals and groups. Our clients have the opportunity to not only enjoy the music that The Goldtones provide, but also the one-on-one interaction with the band – something you won’t find on most cruises. From returning clients, to the new, we are excited to bring back Florida’s Hottest Doo Wop Group.”

The 8-day “Cruisin’ with The Goldtones” cruise will feature: three open bar cocktail parties with performances with The Goldtones along with one public performance, exclusive onboard activities, and three unique gifts. Guests will also take part in four theme nights including: elegant black and gold night, a sock hop, formal masquerade ball and Mexican night. This year, guests will also enjoy a complimentary dinner, on the night of their choice, at La Cucina Italian Eatery, compliments of All Aboard Travel and The Goldtones.

In addition, a representative from All Aboard Travel will be on hand at some of The Goldtones’ upcoming performances in Southwest Florida to answer questions regarding the cruise, including:

• Saturday, October 17 – The Cultural Center of Charlotte County, Port Charlotte, FL.
• Friday, November 13 – Burnt Store Presbyterian Church, Punta Gorda, FL.
• Thursday, December 17 – Christmas Dinner Dance, Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club

“To be on the stage is both exhilarating and humbling; we get the crowd into the music and you best believe there is plenty of singing and dancing,” said Ed Diana, singer of The Goldtones. “Our group features talented guys who enjoy delighting our fans with music from generations past. Performing on a cruise ship is unlike any other performance we have had before; it really heightens the overall experience. We couldn’t offer this opportunity without the support and cooperation of All Aboard Travel, which has been nothing but accommodating and helpful to make this dream a reality.”

“We loved last year’s cruise and are planning on attending this year. What we enjoyed the most from last year’s cruise was the enjoyment of seeing people who never heard of The Goldtones,” said Marilyn Cote, of Punta Gorda, Florida. “Guests were truly in the moment when they heard the band for the first time. Over and over I kept hearing strangers say, ‘What a group!’”

Pope Francis will be in Philadelphia in September for the World Meeting of Families

Fort Myers, FL (June 15, 2015)— All Aboard Travel, Southwest Florida’s premier cruise and tour package travel agency, announced it is planning the travel and housing logistics for a private church group attending the upcoming World Meeting of Families 2015, and Papal visit, in Philadelphia, scheduled September 21-27.  Naples’ Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church has been working closely with All Aboard Travel to ensure its group will experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Pope Francis. The World Meeting of Families is a triennial global event that is being held in the United States for the first time ever.

“We are thrilled to be the trusted travel agency securing all the details for Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church to travel to the World Meeting of Families for the chance to attend its Congress, the Festival of Families and to see the Pontiff in the City of Brotherly Love. The idea is to unify people and to share a unique experience together, which is exactly what we do for all of our All Aboard Travel clients,” said Jody Ryland, Vice President of All Aboard Travel. “This is the Pope’s first visit to the United States and he is only the fourth reigning Pontiff to visit our nation in its history. We are excited to assist parishioners for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The group from St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church will fly to Philadelphia on September 21, and return September 28. An All Aboard Travel agent expert will be on hand from the church to the airport, to see the group off.

Detailed plans for Pope Francis’ visit have not yet been finalized and are expected to be released sometime this summer. However, the Holy Father is scheduled to visit Philadelphia September 25-27, to participate in the closing events of the 8th World Meeting of Families. These events include the Festival of Families, an intercultural celebration of life around the world, which is set to take place Saturday, September 26. There will also be a Papal Mass, on Sunday, September 27, which is open to the public.

Saint John Paul II created the World Meeting of Families in 1994 to explore the critical role the family plays in society and to give families opportunities to talk about the challenges and blessings that all families have.

There are still a few spots open for parishioners of Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church to sign up to attend the World Meeting and see the Pope.  The delegation from the church will be finalized by June 26. For more information regarding the trip or to register, please call April Williams at 800-741-1770, ext. 6409.
