Capital Public Radio travels with three separate travel organizations:
- Earthbound Expeditions
- Cruise Planners/Tauck
- Sports Leisure Vacations
Each organization is an expert travel company and each has an understanding of our audience and our community. Each organization is uniquely qualified and provides travel opportunities that educate and inform, and are unforgetable experiences, whether local or abroad.
Earthbound Expedition’s staff is dedicated to lifelong learning and actively supports public radio. This translates into a richer travel experience for all. Earthbounders experience much more than the average ”tourist” by visiting and supporting overseas community projects and gaining special insider access to museums, gardens, musicians and arts organizations. Listeners and guests who share in the station’s values connect to the world (and each other) in a more meaningful way. And, participants travel carbon neutral through Earthbound Expedition’s partnership with the Carbonfund.
Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Representative, has a tremendous reputation for quality, service, and very competitive pricing for all of your travel needs. Cruise Planners travel advisors will help you discover exciting adventures around the world. From cruises to land tours and completely packaged vacations, we specialize in all types of travel and will create an unforgettable vacation just for you.
Traveling well includes getting the best value for your money. Tauck guests feel that it’s not about spending as little as you can, but about what you get for what you spend… and that a Tauck trip is worth every penny. They say the exclusive experiences Tauck provides, the great hotels they stay in, and the exemplary service they receive often far exceeds their expectations… and that with Tauck, they get their money’s worth and more.
As our only Sacramento based company, the goal at Sports Leisure Vacations has been to enrich your travel experiences with education and fun-filled activities that will make your journey memorable. Their staff works tirelessly to create and execute some of the most imaginative itineraries in the tour industry. The camaraderie, friendship and sense of community on SL trips are what their reputation is built on. They call themselves a travel family, and it’s true. Perhaps that is why so many single travelers feel at home on their trips, no one is ever truly alone unless they choose to be.
When comparing tour itineraries and prices, it's important to remember to compare the "pace" of your vacation. SL style is to create packages that give you room to breathe, to stop and actually smell the roses, not just drive by them. Since many mature travelers love to explore on their own, travel days are built to allow that freedom. Their carefully designed and choreographed itineraries are a refreshing mix of sightseeing, leisure, adventure and culture. Sports Leisure Vacations will give you the opportunity to truly enjoy your surroundings at a leisurely pace. Whether you prefer a little "down time" each day, or want to try and independently see everything there is to see, your itinerary will allow you that flexibility.
