FIRST PICS OF SILVER NOVA
Just had an official first tour of the brand new Silver Nova. A choice of 8 places to enjoy the fine dining and countless bars and cubby-holes to relax and enjoy a drink in. Lots of open spaces and sheltered areas. Superb suites - all with your own butler service. She will hold only 728 guests when completely full. Unusual to get so much choice on such a small and intimate cruise ship.
Enjoy the images.

JGT's GALAPAGOS GROUP IS FINALLY TAKING OFF!
The group that originally booked to travel to Galapagos in June 2020 is finally stepping aboard our gorgeous expedition ship - Silver Origin - this Saturday. Covid, political unrest and just about everything else you can imagine, have conspired to thwart the 4 previous attempts to get there. But finally, on Thursday we are off to spend two nights in Quito, seven nights exploring the Galapagos island and it's wildlife, concluding with a final night in Guayaquil before coming home. All in 5-star luxury, as you might expect from JGT!
Our clients are super-excited to finally be taking off. And who could blame them. This is a true "Bucket List" trip from the masters of "Bucket Lists" - JGT. Call us about our next Galapagos, Antarctic, Arctic or Australian expeditions. We know what we are talking about.

JGT's "EXPEDITION JOHNNIE" IS OFF TO ANTARCTICA AGAIN!
This time it is as an invited guest to the naming ceremony of Silversea's brand new ice-strengthened expedition ship - "Silver Endeavour". She is a real beauty! The ceremony will take place in Antarctica next week and it is a huge honour to be the only Irish travel agent invited to hob-nob with the world's biggest names in expedition cruising. Oh, and the penguins. They'll be there too.
"Endeavour" will be offering an Air-Bridge Antarctic experience, where those who are time poor, or simply don't want to sail the Drake Passage, can fly direct to Antarctica and spend as much time there as normal expeditions. Looking forward to seeing that for myself.
Our next JGT Antarctic group will be on 6th December 2023. Prices start at €11,200 all-inc. and if you book by 30th November, we will throw in a complimentary upgrade to a balcony suite. Super for photographers. Call us on (01) 207 6555 for more.
JOHN GALLIGAN TRAVEL - We know Antarctica (and the Galapagos, Arctic, Greenland etc.) better than the rest.
BANK HOLIDAY FRIDAY NIGHT IN ISTANBUL
The Eid festival ended this week and today is a bank holiday in Turkey. This is what Istakalil Street (the main shopping, strolling and people watching street) was looking like tonight. One of our recent guests described it like Croke Park emptying out after a match -all the time!
Our next Bucket List Trip to Istanbul is on 27 October (our own Bank holiday weekend). There are some places left so call us on (01) 207 6555 or e-mail [email protected] before Croke Park is truly empty.
JOHN GALLIGAN TRAVEL - We know our baklava from our bananas.
Happy Birthday Jennifer!
Jen’s Dad popped in this morning so we took the opportunity to light the candles early.
Happy birthday, Jen. Oh, to be so young!
Have a great day from all @ JGT.
BIG RETIREMENT AT JGT
Going out tonight to celebrate the retirement of our longest serving colleague. Bridget Moore has looked after our accounts for over 23 years and has done a fantastic job for us at all times.
We will sorely miss her at JGT as, after all this time, Bridget is more family than colleague. She is still young, fit and good-looking and is planning a lot of travel over the coming years.
She leaves us with our gratitude for her decades of hard work, commitment and loyalty. We also send with her our love and best wishes for her bright future.
JOHN GALLIGAN TRAVEL.
Missing Bridget already!
SECURITY QUEUE AT DUBLIN AIRPORT AT 0628 THIS MORNING. LOOKS AWFUL BUT ONLY TOOK 28 MINUTES
The initial reaction when you see the security queue stretching all the way out into the check-in area in Terminal One in Dublin, is “oh my god, this is going to take forever”.
Credit to DAA (and we have been highly critical of them recently), despite the very long queues, they managed to get us through in 28 minutes. Very respectable time when compared with other European airports at the moment.
Still leave yourself plenty of time (we were here 3 hours before the flight) as it takes all the stress out of the experience.

FIRST TIME BACK ON A CRUISE SHIP IN TWO YEARS. AND WHAT A SHIP.
Just about to depart Barcelona aboard one of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world - Silversea Cruises “Silver Spirit”.
Silversea are the ultimate in ultra-luxury, ultra-inclusive cruising with nothing but the best and everything you could possibly wish for included in the price.
See a video I did this afternoon about getting here and the embarkation process at the port. Not bad at all but very glad I was checking in for this small ship rather than joining thousands in the queues for one of the mega ships.
JOHN GALLIGAN TRAVEL - The lengths we go to for our clients!
YIPPEE WE'RE FREE!
FROM JULY 19th YOU CAN TRAVEL TO ANY EU COUNTRY WITH A DIGITAL CERT
Great news for people who are busting to get away to the sun. From 19th July, fully vaccinated people, those who have recovered from Covid and those with a recent negative PCR test, can travel without restrictions within the EU.
We will be delighted to have the opportunity to travel again without the threat of fines, nor being stopped by police on the way into the airport. Not everyone will want to travel from the 19th of July and we are not recommending a free-for-all. But if it is safe to travel and you really, really want that sun holiday, cruise, expedition or to visit your relatives, JGT will be here to help.
Write it down on your calendar. 19th July.
JOHN GALLIGAN TRAVEL - We'll get you there when you want to get out of here!
JGT's ULTRA-LUXURY "BUCKET LIST" GROUP TO GALAPAGOS
30 JUNE 2022 FOR €7,208pp inc.
JGT's reputation for "only the best", really comes to the fore with this ultra-luxury expedition to the Galapagos Islands in June 2022. Our lucky band of explorers will fly from Dublin, stay two nights in Quito, Ecuador, fly to Galapagos and enjoy a 7-night expedition cruise on one of the most luxurious ships in those islands.
Not only luxurious but this Silverseas ship "Silver Origin" sails with one of the most experienced expedition crew operating in those waters. Learn while experiencing the wildlife that has been brought into your living rooms by David Attenborough. Snorkel, kayak, swim and hike among the bountiful sea creatures, wildlife, flora and fauna. This trip will be fully escorted from Dublin by John and is ideal for couples and solos alike.
At €7,208pp this is a huge discount on normal prices and will be snapped up. If you always wanted to see the Galapagos, this is your opportunity to do it with fellow Irish men & women - and to do it in some considerable style with JGT & Silverseas.
E-mail us on [email protected] if you are interested.

JGT'S "BUCKET LIST" TRIP TO GALAPAGOS IN 2022 -
IT'S TIME TO BE THINKING OF BETTER THINGS!
Our mission is to take you to those places you always dreamt of seeing before you "kicked it". Life is short and we have just lost the better part of two years of it. We will help you make up for that.
Next year, John will be escorting another group of happy adventurers to Galapagos. If you can't join us, that's OK. We will think of you when we are viewing the marine iguanas, the turtles, the penguins, snorkeling with the sea lions and kayaking in the calm waters. But forgive us if we don't think of you too much. We'll be very busy.
