Book these in advance with your travel agent to ensure your spot on these special opportunities.

Another way to customize your experience is to spend more time before and after the cruise in city of embarkation or debarkation. City Stays include accommodations, meals, transportation, and activities.

Destination Wedding

First of all, thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful package for both John and I on our special day. The trip was completely completely amazing from start to finish. All the extra details that you provided for us were absolutely perfect. From the minute that we landed to our transportation to the resort were phenomenal.

The minute that we arrived at the resort, we were completely amazed at our surroundings in the fabulous views. The staff at the resort from the concierge, the front desk and housekeeping were absolutely amazing and took care of us and all of our needs. The extra details that they put into our stay were phenomenal. The meals at both restaurants were absolutely fantastic. I think we must’ve tried everything on the menu and definitely did indulge the entire time we were there. This resort was an absolute gem of a place and definitely the staff made us feel extra special all the time. I got to enjoy the spa while I was there and it was amazing. The staff at the spa even came around while we were at the pool, relaxing and offered free mini massages and facials.

As far as the wedding- Lorena, the wedding coordinator- did an amazing job and putting together a wonderful photographer, make up artist and hairstylist for myself and our special day. We enjoyed a private dinner on the beach and danced into the evening hours. I definitely would recommend this resort to any of your clients in the future. It was by far the most amazing relaxing experience that we both will definitely want to do again.

Thank you so much for everything and it was such an amazing experience working with you.

Very professional

Jessica Riediger arranged my last trip. It was tricky involving three states and three different airlines in ten days. The likelihood of glitches was great. There was a slight delay in my flight leaving from OKC but after that, everything went very smoothly. I had a wonderful trip. Jessica was wonderful in arranging all of the details and helping me to understand the best way to navigate the connections etc. I appreciated her highly professional assistance and highly recommend her to anyone planning travel.

Jessica is the best. She put us in the most incredible vacation spot we could imagine. She took care of everything. And when we had some trouble on the way home she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
