FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

Electronic Arts today announced that fans of the critically-acclaimed PC game, The Sims 2, can now experience all-new exotic destinations in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, which ships to store shelves today. Fans can now whisk their Sims away on a variety of exciting trips to three exotic locations.

Whether your Sims are meditating in a pristine Zen garden in the Far East, enjoying an adventurous helicopter tour through the mountains or relaxing in a luxury suite in the Tropics, they’ll enjoy a myriad of all-new activities. From exploring ancient ruins and building sand castles to catching some rays after a boardwalk shopping spree, players can quickly transform their Sims from bumbling tourists to savvy international travelers. Sims will also learn new customs, including local greetings and dances to take home and teach to their friends.

Key features:

Travel to three exotic destinations: Each location offers unique landscapes and local residents, such as the Fire Dancer and Ninja, for your Sims to meet and learn from. Try local cuisine and admire cultural landmarks as your Sims explore these new locales.

Send your Sims on tours: Glass bottom boat rides, adventurous van tours and other excursions are fun new activities for your Sims.

Buy or find unique items: Shop for rare items found only on your Sims’ travels, including unique jewelry they can wear or take home as gifts. Stumble upon hidden locations, collect shells on the beach or dig up treasure.

Stay at new travel accommodations: Splurge on a luxury suite for your Sims or choose a cozy cabin. Your Sims will enjoy the comfort of room service, get pampered at the spa and more.
