Catalina Express suggests the gift of travel this holiday season through its offer of two FREE one-way Commodore Lounge Upgrades valued at $30, with a purchase of $100 in Gift Cards. The Lounge is located on the top deck of Catalina Express’ luxurious catamarans and offers passengers a panoramic view during the channel crossing, as well as beverages, and comfortable seating, all in a handsome cabin interior. It’s not unusual to see awesome marine life on the way to and from Catalina, including whales in season.

 

Those planning to use their gift cards for an Island vacation or get-away might consider a stay at Hotel Villa Portofino, 888-510-0555, www.hotelvillaportofino.com.  It’s the Island’s most gracious European-style hotel.
