Nisbet Plantation Press Room
Calling All Nisbets to the Beach
Nisbets of the world invited to new annual family gathering
including Ancestry.com contest
NEVIS, West Indies — Nisbet Plantation Beach Club invites Nisbets from around the globe to experience
a new concept in international family reunion travel. Famed for its idyllic Caribbean beach setting and
storied past, Nisbet Plantation is a natural family gathering spot for anyone with the surname Nisbet.
Adding to the excitement of connecting and reconnecting, Ancestry.com is hosting a contest to help
Nisbets further discover their genealogy following their stay at the historic resort.
Nisbet Plantation’s own history is sure to intrigue guests with the Nisbet surname. Once a prominent
sugar plantation turned coconut plantation, Nisbet Plantation is the ancestral home of Fanny Nisbet, the
faithful wife of Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, one of Britain's most heroic figures. The estate changed
owners and purposes over time, each with stories of their own before becoming the intimate resort with
old-world charm that it is today.
The popularity of family reunion travel, record-breaking internet queries on Ancestry.com and Nisbet
Plantation’s own rich history make it ideal for gathering Nisbets. Add that Nisbet Plantation is the
Caribbean’s only historic plantation inn on the beach and has five Nisbetts on-staff, and guests are in for
an authentic family reunion vacation.
Nisbets are invited to enjoy this special offer anytime from October 11 to November 15, 2014. The Nisbet
Family Beach Reunion offer lets Nisbets save an additional 10% on existing resort offers bringing the
savings up to as much as 32%. This can also be applied to the You Can Fly Free package.
Accommodation reservations include full breakfast, afternoon tea and gourmet dinner each day.
The Nisbet Family Beach Reunion offer features exclusive components and on-going events including:
