Lush Life Spotlight: Quoted in Travelweek!

I’m excited to share that I was quoted in Travelweek this week in a story about winter travel demand and how travel advisors across Canada are responding to bookings for sun destinations like the Caribbean. It’s an honour to contribute to the industry conversation alongside other professionals!

Here’s what I shared in the article:

“Lush Life Travel’s Sheila Gallant‑Halloran focuses on river cruises, expedition sailings, and small ship ocean cruises — not sun‑and‑sand getaways — ‘so the current headlines haven’t directly impacted the kinds of trips I typically book,’” I told Travelweek.
However, I am monitoring for airspace closures and flight path changes after the Venezuela developments. Like any experienced travel advisor, I know that circumstances can change on a dime.
“In general, Canadians are still very much in that ‘elbows up’ mindset — they’re cautious, yes, but also determined to live fully,” I said.

The piece highlights how advisors are fielding a range of client interests this winter — from warm getaways to Portugal and the Caribbean to bucket‑list trips like Antarctica — and how traveller confidence is evolving in early 2026.
