6 Activity Levels Easy This is a relaxed type of stay-put holiday where you can choose to relax in your hotel room, and/or enjoy a day on your own. Our Winter Longstay destinations fall into this category, although many participants take part in more demanding optional activities. Moderately Easy Travellers could be required to walk a distance of up to 500 metres (1,600 feet) on fairly level terrain. Walking one flight of stairs with railings may be necessary. There is time during the day for you to rest on your own. Ocean cruising would fall into this category, although participants may take part in more demanding excursions if they choose Moderate Travellers will occasionally have to walk on uneven surfaces or get on and off boats or trains. Tours on the itinerary may include periods of up to an hour of walking at a gentle pace. There may also be a few one-night stays, but often the majority of your trip is spent in just a handful of hotels. Most of our North American sightseeing tours fall into this category. Moderately Challenging Travellers could be required to walk on uneven surfaces regularly, and the day could be busy with activities from morning until evening. Any daytime rest is taken while travelling on the motorcoach from one attraction to another. There may also be a number of one-night stays that necessitate the need to pack up each morning. Many of our overseas tours fall into this category. Challenging These destinations offer very limited accessibility and guests can expect to experience uneven surfaces (i.e. cobblestones) or hilly ground on a regular basis. This level applies to many of our overseas tours as many historical landmarks tend to demand greater effort to reach. This also applies to our Newfoundland tours as accessibility options are scarce in some remote areas

Prime Berth refers to the age old practice of each spring holding a draw, or lottery of sorts, to determine the place, or berth where fishermen would set their cod traps during the coming summer. Everyone hoped and prayed that they would be lucky enough to draw the best spot, or Prime Berth as it was called. In honour of this tradition, and as a tribute to his family, David decided to call his heritage centre Prime Berth literally meaning the best spot!
