Ring in the New Year with

the Hugh Hewitt Crew!

Hugh Hewitt’s resident film critic, Emmett of the Unblinking Eye, and poet laureate Tarzana Joe, along with producer “Generalissimo” Duane, thought it would be a great idea to celebrate traveling without Hugh over New Years. These three adventuresome souls decided to band together with their families and host this extraordinary holiday cruise.

Duane ‘Generalissimo’ Patterson is the senior producer of the nationally-syndicated Hugh Hewitt show aired on the Salem Radio Network. Duane serves as the lab rat for Hugh’s pop culture experiments and his collection of exploits on air help set the show apart from most other news and political talk radio programs.

Emmett of the Unblinking Eye is Hugh’s film critic, broadcasted each Friday during the final hour of the Hugh Hewitt Show. Emmett opines on all things cultural, but particularly the movies. No week is complete without his up-to-the-month views on current films, trailers of upcoming attractions, and his Top 10 lists.

Tarzana Joe is Joe Santi, the poet laureate of Talk Radio is heard weekly on the Hugh Hewitt Show. Tarzana Joe’s poems are commentaries on everything from the recent elections to corporate mergers to potato salad. He is also a poet-for hire, writing love poems for shy suitors across the country.

This one-of-a-kind voyage offers special events and activities with celebrity hosts helping you create unforgettable memories! Its the perfect way to celebrate the new year in style! Explore the beauty and excitement of Mexico’s hottest getaway spots all in the wonderful comfort of one of the nation’s top cruise ships!

Call today to reserve your special limited time price which includes private cocktail receptions, events, movies, parties with your special guest hosts, and more! Join your friends, bring your family.

Port Highlights

Mexican Riviera Cruise

Dec. 26, 2009 - Jan. 2, 2010

7-day cruise with 3 ports of call

Mazatlan, Mexico – Home of the largest shrimp fleet in the world, this cosmopolitan resort city tempts with every variation of this tasty crustacean: grilled, al mojo de ajo (with garlic), or in the shell with a tangy squeeze of lime. Other temptations: miles of uninterrupted sandy beaches, busy markets, and sleepy mining towns tucked into the Sierra Madre. Sample shore excursions: Deluxe City Tour with Papantla Fliers; Old Mazatlan Walking Tour; Deer Island Kayak; Sierra Madre; Concordia & Copala.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – No longer the well-kept secret of the artists, writers and Hollywood stars who first "discovered" it in the 1960s, "PV" (as it is affectionately known) still retains the essence of the quaint fishing village it once was. Here is Viejo Vallarta, the quaint Old Town, an enticing mix of red-tiled buildings, cobbled streets, chic shops and bustling open markets. Here are Mismaloya Beach, Gringo Gulch and Conchas Chinas, the Beverly Hills of Vallarta. Nearby: the rugged canyons and luxuriant jungles of the Sierra Madre. Sample shore excursions: Countryside on horseback, Dolphin encounter; Town, Country & Tequila; Sea Lion Encounter; Eco-safari Off-road Adventure; Canopy Adventure.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – At the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the blue Pacific mingles with the Sea of Cortez in a whirl of watercolors. Even more spectacular: waters teeming with marlin, swordfish, sailfish, tuna and other fighting fish. Feast your eyes on exquisite black coral; take in the annual migration of the gray whale. Sample shore excursions: Deluxe Coastal Cruise & Whale Watch; Half-day Sportfishing Adventure; Sea Kayak & Snorkel Adventure; Beach Horseback Ride.

ms Oosterdam

Join the Hugh Crew on the ms Oosterdam

Officially christened in 2003 by Her Dutch Royal Highness, Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, the ms Oosterdam is the second Vista-class ship.

Symbolic of Holland America Line's more than 135-year history of circumnavigating the globe, the centerpiece of the ms Oosterdam is a magnificent Waterford crystal globe, prominently displayed in a three-story atrium. First-time cruisers aboard this ship will quickly recognize the traditional touches that make Holland America cruisers regulars: a warm palette of colors accentuating an extensive use of crystal, marble, inlaid woods and brass, lovely flower arrangements, priceless artwork and antiques and a full wraparound teak promenade deck with padded deck chairs.
