This was a fabulous journey with Trafalgar in a small group of people from six different countries. The Nile cruise was relaxing but also historically educational, and the few days we spent in Cairo and Luxor during Ramadan was wonderful! I especially enjoyed visiting the new Grand Egyptian Museum, but also the temples we visited were awesome.
This was our first trip with Seabourn and it was most impressive. We choose the cruise for the itinerary, but must say that after the cruise that real standout memory is that the staff of the ship was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and just fun. Besides that staff, everything else was top notch as well. I think the most important point to make is that we liked it well enough we have book another long cruise with Seabourn for 2028.
This was our first cruise and it was absolutely lovely. Amawaterways crew gave attentive excellent service. The food was wonderful!! There were daily breakfast and lunch buffets, as well as ordering from the menu for all meals. We appreciated the inclusion of beer and wine at lunch and dinner, and the daily Sip and Sail complimentary cocktail hour was quite enjoyable after a day of interesting excursions. We highly recommend Amawaterways, and thank Cruise & Travel Experts for their knowledgeable service to make this trip possible.
We had a lovely trip on Viking! Everybody on the ship was absolutely delightful, very thoughtful and solicitous of all the guests. The itinerary was terrific, and we enjoyed virtually all of the inclusive excursions available, along with some optional ones. The food was good to terrific and the wait staff quickly learned all of your needs and desires, and satisfied them. The ship was very clean and well cared for and our particular cabin was fabulous!
As usual crew and all staff onboard our Holland America cruise were excellent, it’s like ‘coming home’ when you board the ship.
I highly recommend Penney Lipner and Cruise and Travel Experts for your travel needs. Their exceptional service goes beyond booking trips, flights and accommodations; they excel in resolving any unforeseen issues that may arise during your journey. With their dedicated team of professionals, you can trust that your travel experience will be smooth and enjoyable. Choose Penney for a stress-free and unforgettable adventure or for your business travel needs.
Shannon Nelson is a star. We’ve booked many cruises with her and she continues to be outstanding, at the top of her game. Decades of experience matched with a winning personality and work ethic. We’ve sailed Holland America several times, and it is always a satisfying experience.
