The Regent Seven Seas Voyager

I love to cruise!! I love the convenience of unpacking once and exploring many ports, the incredible service, the delicious food, the entertainment . . . all of it!!  I particularly love sailing on upscale cruise lines - the luxury lines.  


Upscale cruise ships offer a high level of luxury and comfort, with spacious cabins, high-quality amenities, and attentive service. This ambiance creates a sense of relaxation and indulgence that many people find appealing.


Some reasons I love upscale cruising: 


1. Are you a foodie?  I am!  Fine dining is a hallmark of upscale cruise ships. 


2. Entertainment, Education and Relaxation!  Upscale cruise lines often offer a wide range of entertainment and activities, from Broadway-style shows to spa services, fitness centers, and educational programs.


3.  Destination Exploration: Luxury cruise lines often visit unique and exotic destinations, allowing you to explore new places and cultures in style and comfort.


4. Personalized Service: The staff-to-passenger ratio on upscale cruise ships is often high, meaning that you receive personalized and attentive service. This level of care will enhance the overall cruise experience.

Best senior spring break trip!
Susan was extremely helpful in booking our hotel reservation at the SLS Beverly Hills. She understood exactly what we wanted out of the trip, and the location was perfect for accessing West Hollywood and the Beverly Hills business district, and it was only a short drive from the Santa Monica Pier. She suggested amazing restaurants in Malibu and throughout West Hollywood and aided us with booking those reservations, as well. Additionally, Susan was able to recommend fantastic, worth while hikes and sight seeing tours/activities. Overall, she was very accommodating and seemed well versed in what the greater LA area had to offer. Will definitely be working with her again soon!

Most relaxing beach vacation ever!
Susan was a pleasure to worth with from our first conversation. She is a consumate professional who understands value. We were traveling for the first time to the Caribbean and wanted a luxury resort, on a quiet beach but wanted to avoid an all inclusive. She recommended that we stay at Cap Juluca and we couldn't have been more delighted with her suggestion. I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation without hesitation.

Trip to Vienna & Prague
This is the 3rd big trip to Europe that Susan has planned for us. Previous trips were planned to Italy and to Munich & Amsterdam. All the trips were perfectly planned from the hotels, tours and activities and transportation. Her attention to detail made all the difference. She understand the kind of hotels we like and how much we wanted to be scheduled throughout the trip. Susan had excellent ideas on what to spend time on in each of the locations. She also help us with a change to our transportation schedule while I was in Vienna. In a previous trip, she even helped me with a train mixup on my part. She was able to redirect me and get back on my schedule. We love working with Susan. We are already thinking about what trip to do in 2026 ! She truly is the best.

Maria and Melissa incredible Ireland spectacular S
Never traveling out of the country before and having no idea where to start. Susan was referred to us by a friend. We were able to tell her what we were looking for what our budget was and our timeline. She took the time to get to know our wants. She was able to develop the most amazing itinerary within budget. She booked everything for us. Every time we had a question she was there for us. Literally, this was so stress-free. And made the trip so much more enjoyable. I love her app that has our itinerary already on it available for us with all the attachments needed. Our trip turned out to incredible memorable experience all thanks to Susan. Couldn’t ask for a better Travel Agent to make one longtime dreams come true.
