Ventana Voyage: Exploring the World, Together

There’s something uniquely rewarding about discovering new places alongside people who share your stage of life. Conversations come easy, the pace is leisurely, and the memories you make together last a lifetime. That’s what makes Ventana Voyage trips so special. These exclusive, thoughtfully curated adventures empower Members to experience new destinations, new cultures, and new memories, minus the stress of traditional travel. Here’s a glimpse at a few of our recent trips!

Golden Leaves & Grand Estates: Cruising the Hudson

In fall 2024, Ventana Members boarded an American Cruise Lines ship for a picturesque 8-day journey along the Hudson River. The route featured some of New York’s most iconic autumnal scenery, with stops in charming towns like Catskill and Kingston, and tours of historic sites like the opulent Vanderbilt Mansion and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s home in Hyde Park.
“We’ve traveled the world, and this cruise reminded us how fortunate we are to live in the USA,” said Ventana Voyagers Phil and Irene M. “The landscapes were breathtaking, and every day brought something new.”

From sipping cider near Sleepy Hollow to exploring West Point’s rich military history, it was a front-row seat to New England’s legendary fall showcase—without a single suitcase to drag between hotels.

Island Breezes & Crystal Waters: A Caribbean Escape

In January 2025, Ventana Members embarked on a 7-night luxury cruise aboard the Seven Seas Navigator, departing from sunny San Juan. The journey included stops in some of the Caribbean’s most enchanting destinations—from historical Danish architecture of St. Thomas to the lush rainforests of Dominica and the white-sand beaches of Antigua. In St. Lucia, the group explored vibrant open-air markets, while St. Barts offered a taste of French elegance in the tropics.
Back on board, Members enjoyed all-suite accommodations, gourmet dining, and curated excursions—no planning required.

“Everything was so thoughtfully planned—we just showed up and had fun,” said Steve F., a Ventana Member and seasoned traveler.
