Thompson Sleepovers can be added to any room renovation and are perfect for creating lifelong memories for the youngest of guests.

 

Camp Long Creek at Big Cedar Lodge
Guests staying at family-friendly wilderness resort Big Cedar Lodge can book the overnight Camp Long Creek experience located just minutes away from the property. The experience combines all the fun of camping with the comfort and luxury of a resort. With the backdrop of Table Rock Lake, guests can kick back and relax in one of the camp’s unique accommodations, shepherd huts, camp cabins or glamping tents. Book the Family Glamping Tent which features a cozy kids tent, a private courtyard, outdoor tub and more. Spend your days fishing on the lake or trying out a new watersport.

 

Big Cypress Lodge
Enjoy a rustic nature retreat in downtown Memphis at Big Cypress Lodge. Taking “city glamping” to a whole new level, the fun-filled activities include exploring the 535,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shop featuring Cypress Swamp, home to fish and alligators. Guests can also play a frame at the underwater-themed bowling alley, see who has the best aim at the archery range or travel up the Sky High Ride for a one-of-a-kind dinner.

Holland America Line recently revealed a refreshed RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, the cruise line’s private island in the Bahamas. Now, guests sailing on the line’s Caribbean cruises will discover a new RelaxAway, where recently completed enhancements bring more ways for families to relax, dine and play.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
