Our TEAM – The FIRST People YOU Meet on Vacation

Travel isn’t just about the destination and things you see, but about the PEOPLE you meet along the way.  When you plan a trip, those on our team are some of the first people you meet in any travel experience, so I thought today I’d highlight the four core members of our team that have the most direct interface with our clients, and some of their thoughts on YOUR travel:

Peri – Sales Support and Bookings Admin

When you’ll hear from Peri:  Questions about existing bookings.

  • Favorite Travel Destination:  California, the weather is always gorgeous!
  • Best place for a City Stay:  New York City! All the good stuff is usually within walking distance and the food is so unbelievably good.
  • Travel Challenge:  Took a road trip to Banff, Alberta and our car ended up breaking down on the way in a remote area.
  • Vacation disaster story:  I traveled to Miami and lost my rental car keys in the Ocean!  
  • Best Travel Tip:  Travel light if possible.  It makes getting through the Airport easier.
  • Favourite foreign food:  Chimichangas! I could eat these for the rest of my life!
  • Top destination on your travel list:  Japan!!  I absolutely love the culture and can’t wait to see some of those beautiful Cherry Blossom trees!

Kim – Sales

When you’ll deal with Kim:  When you’re deciding on a new trip. 

  • Most recent trip: “I’m on Sea Cloud in the Western Med right now!. It’s INCREDIBLE!”
  • Favorite Travel Destination:  Florence, Italy… known for its food, WINE and culture.
  • Favorite Cruise Destination:  Mekong River – Vietnam and Cambodia.
  • Best place for a City Stay:  Edinburgh, Scotland.  Medieval and historic, great pubs, vibrant nightlife, more trees than people and of course the stunning Edinburgh Castle.
  • Best travel experience:  Taking 120 of my clients to dinner at Christchurch Cathedral in Dublin. 
  • Vacation disaster story:  The two cancelled because of COVID – Malta and Marrakech.
  • Best Travel Tip:  Good walking shoes especially in Europe.

Bob:  Sales & Marketing

When you’ll deal with Bob:  You’ll see him on our YouTube Channel.  The destinations he’s most often called upon for are the Galapagos and Antarctica.  He’s pretty good at Europe, too!

  • Favorite Destination:  Zanzibar – a crossroads of culture and history.
  • Best Cruise Destination: Croatia – as spectacular as Greece & Turkey, but less crowded.
  • Best City Stay:  San Miguel de Allende – this small city in Mexico is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a great place to wander around for a few days.
  • Travel Story:  Accidentally met the President of Poland in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
  • Travel Disaster Story:  “I slept on a dock in Western Australia.  Got there too late to find a hotel room.  I was young and stupid, so it was all part of the adventure.”

Sue: Oversight and Systems Improvement

When you’ll deal with me:  I look over everyone’s trip at some point, and you get a lot of reminders from me about upcoming deadlines.

  • Best Travel Tip: – Always try out the Metro.  It’s a great way to orient yourself to a new city and often requires you to figure out the currency at the same time.  I like doing this because it gives me a feel for what it’s like to be a local in the destination.
  • Top travel bucket list destination: Rwanda (to visit the Mountain Gorillas). 
  • Top CRUISE bucket list: Northwest Passage on a small expedition ship.
  • Travel disaster story:  Confused my flight TIME and flight NUMBER.  Missed the plane. 

We work differently than just about any other travel agency because ALL of us are involved in just about every client trip.  We do this so that each of us can play to our strengths, and so we can be the MOST effective to turnaround your queries and questions about your journey.  

We’ve always said travel isn’t just about ships and itineraries—it’s about PEOPLE. When you call or email us, you’re not dealing with a call center or a faceless booking engine. You’re connecting with a small but mighty crew who know your style, remember your favorites, and genuinely care about making your next journey unforgettable.

We’re proud of this little MOM & POP shoppe and the people that make it work.  Hopefully this has given you a little more insight into who is on the other side of the phone call or email mail exchange.

Recently booked a Viking Cruise?

Viking makes it really easy to book direct, either online, by phone, or on board.  Our clients worry that if they book on-line, that they’re cutting us out, but if you let us know after you’ve booked, then we can still help you with your reservation (even if you booked ON BOARD).

We’ll check over your reservation to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal, and we will also add some onboard credits that are not available on direct bookings.

We can add at least $100 per person onboard credit to any direct Viking reservation made in the last 60 days.

There is never a situation where you’ll get a better deal by booking directly with Viking (or any other cruise line).

If you recently booked a Viking Cruise, please let us know as soon as possible.

If you’re planning a trip, I’d love to help! Click here or call 800-876-0168 to get in touch today.

I look forward to hearing from you.

UK & IRELAND Destination Spotlight

You are very aware of the UK and Ireland as a destination, but it is ironically often overlooked.  Here are some ideas on how and why you should consider this destination: 

First, some social studies to start.  For the purposes of our discussion:

  • The United Kingdom is England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.  Each of these is a distinct country, but not by the same definition we would use.  They are ONE nation. 
  • The Republic of Ireland is a separate nation (and part of the EU), although people most often visit both Ireland and Northern Ireland together.

WHY Go to the UK and Ireland?

They’re not known for great weather or fantastic food, so here are some other reasons to visit:

  • History:  The islands are full of centuries-old castles, Roman ruins and family heritage.
  • Culture: There are unique music, art, and cozy pubs.
  • Ease & Proximity:  Ports of call are close together, and it’s not difficult to get around. 
  • Scenery:  The rugged coastlines of the British Isles are beautiful (and often overlooked).

HOW to Go

  • Cruise Ship:  ALL the cruise lines operate itineraries here and you only unpack once!
  • Land Tour:  Most attractions in the UK & Ireland are near the coastline, but if you want to go a bit farther from the coast, a land tour is the way to do it. 
  • Independent Wandering:  English is widely spoken, and it’s easy to navigate. 

Most Frequented Ports of Call

  • London: Your gateway to the Royal Family, the Tower of London, and West End theatre.
  • Dublin: Friendly locals, Guinness, and literary roots that stretch from Joyce to Yeats.
  • Edinburgh: Walk the Royal Mile, visit Edinburgh Castle, or attend a festival.
  • Belfast: Explore the history, Titanic heritage, and do day trips to the Giant’s Causeway.
  • Liverpool: Beatles fans rejoice—this is your pilgrimage stop.
  • Scottish Highlands: Loch Ness and castles straight out of your Outlander dreams.

WHO Goes to the UK & Ireland 

  • History buffs, and those that love centuries-old buildings and castles. 
  • People investigating their family heritage.
  • Pub crawlers, and those that like small towns, or distinct neighborhoods.
  • Those wanting to experience the rugged scenery of these islands’ coastlines. 

WHEN to go to the UK & Ireland:

  • May through September weather is when the weather is most moderate, but also the most crowded and most expensive.
  • The winter months are less crowded, and will cost you less.
  • Pack a raincoat at any time of the year.

WIFI on Cruise Ships

Remember dial-up internet?  The funky rhythm and tune of computer generated tones, and then you waited… a long time.  It was slower than a retirement community of turtles.  And that’s generally been the case on cruise ships until very recently.

During the pandemic, several cruise lines used the opportunity to significantly upgrade the technology on their ships, and it’s substantially better than it once was, but still not as fast as home.  I DO find it a bit ridiculous when people complain about the speed of the internet when they’re on board a plane or ship (or really any moving vessel for that reason).

Think about this for just a minute:  you’re flying through the air, or perhaps in Antarctica – thousands of miles from the nearest human community, and you’re fully connected.  It’s a marvel… and those that think it should be as fast as the fibre optic connection at home need to dial-back (pun intended) their expectations.

So here’s some Q & A on internet connections on cruise ships:

Q: Which Cruise Line Has the Fastest Internet?

A: Several make the claim of the “fastest”.  In reality, it depends where the vessel is, and how many people are accessing it at the same time.  Most cruise lines use Starlink, or one of its European competitors, so the technology is very similar between the cruise lines. 

Q: What Does Internet Cost on a Cruise Ship?

A: The smaller-ship cruise lines, and river boats usually include connectivity in your fare.  The mega-ship cruise lines will charge you between $15 and $50 per day, depending on how much data you want to move.

Q:  Sounds like it’s better than it was.  What still sucks?

A:  If you want to stream video, use a VPN or take video calls, you’ll sometimes still struggle.  Some cruise lines also limit the number of devices you can connect. 

Q:  What causes variation in internet speed?

A:  The position of the vessel, the number of people using it at the same time, and whether it’s a satellite or cellular connection will all impact your connectivity. 

Q:  Are there any hacks that will make it quicker?

A:  Download videos, or maps you intend to use before you leave home, so you’re not trying to download big files over limited bandwidth.  You will also do better when others AREN’T using the wifi.  If you want to upload the photos you took that day as soon as you get back to the ship and before dinner, keep in mind everyone else is doing the same thing.  It will be slow. 

Q:  What’s Your BEST Suggestion For Internet At Sea?

A:  DON’T PARTICIPATE.  You’re on vacation… disconnect, and be in the moment.  If you like to post your vacations on social media, consider doing that once you get home.

Recently booked a Viking Cruise?

Viking makes it really easy to book direct, either online, by phone, or on board.  Our clients worry that if they book on-line, that they’re cutting us out, but if you let us know after you’ve booked, then we can still help you with your reservation (even if you booked ON BOARD).

We’ll check over your reservation to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal, and we will also add some onboard credits that are not available on direct bookings.

We can add at least $100 per person onboard credit to any direct Viking reservation made in the last 60 days.

There is never a situation where you’ll get a better deal by booking directly with Viking (or any other cruise line).

If you recently booked a Viking Cruise, please let us know as soon as possible.

If you’re planning a trip, I’d love to help! Click here or call 800-876-0168 to get in touch today.

I look forward to hearing from you.

REGENT SEVEN SEAS

You’ve probably heard of REGENT SEVEN SEAS, and if you’re looking for a high-end, all-inclusive experience, they should definitely be on your radar.  They are THE most inclusive cruise line, and if you like small-ship luxury, here’s a brief look:

The Ships

  • Carry between 496 and 850 guests.
  • As of the end of 2026, Regent will have an ALL veranda fleet.
  • There are seven ships including Prestige which joins in late 2026.
  • Prestige will have Skyview Suites (with rooftop terraces).

The Itineraries

  • Lots of overnights and extended stays.  Ports look a lot different at night, so you get a different experience.
  • Regent visits 550 ports on 6 continents so you can go anywhere with them. 
  • Shore excursions with a focus on Epicurean Delights, Wellness Tours, Eco Tours, Architectural Tours, as well as more traditional shore tours.

  • Insightful guest speakers and Broadway quality entertainment.
  • Culinary excellence with a wide variety of specialty dining choices, and featured local dishes as well.  

The Inclusions

  • REGENT is the MOST inclusive cruise option available.  You may be aware that earlier this month without any warning, Silversea dropped Shore Excursions from their included amenities, leaving REGENT as the only truly all-inclusive option.
  • Your fare on REGENT includes
    • All taxes and fees
    • Specialty dining
    • Butlers for every room
    • An open bar, including in-suite mini-bar replenished daily

Only 18 Summers

You’ve undoubtedly heard Harry Chapin’s 1974 classic “The Cat’s in the Cradle”.  If not, it’s worth finding that song, and listening carefully to the lyrics.  I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, as Bob and I welcomed our second grandson to the world a few weeks ago. 

With our own children, we did our very best to be present for both the milestones AND the everyday ordinary miracles.  The age at which we become parents necessarily means this is always tempered with busy lives, building careers, and in some cases taking care of aging parents.

As grandparents, we usually have a little more time on our hands, and certainly more perspective as a result of more life experience.  If we’re paying attention, we’re also painfully more aware of the passage of time, and how temporary ALL things are. 

I’ve heard others comment “You only have 18 summers with your kids (or grandkids)”.  This hits people hard because 18 is a really small number.  Then it occurred to me that 18 is a REALLY GENEROUS number for such musings… it’s actually far less than 18 years.

If you’re looking to create memories with your grandchildren that they will retain, you probably can’t even start until they’re about 5 years old.  By the time they’re 15 years old, they are usually a lot more interested in their friends than their grandparents, and they probably have part-time jobs or other activities that will compete with your noble intentions of creating memories with them.  So it’s probably closer to TEN SUMMERS.

Our two children are in their 20s and 30s, and we feel truly blessed to be able to see them as often as we do.  However – much like we were at that age – they’re very busy.  And frankly, neither of them yet have the perspective to fully understand how quickly time will pass.  So that means WE need to create memories with them and their children.

Yes, we have selfish motives here too – our grandchildren are unbelievably adorable (if you have 45 minutes or so to spare, I’ll invite you over for a slide show of the cutest kids ever!).  We WANT to be there.  We WANT to create memories with them.  

So, we now find ourselves disavowing previous pledges to NOT over-indulge our children.  We always believed that they should achieve their own successes and own their own failures.  We felt NO obligation to buy them a car when they become of age or finance their other ambitions.

Yet, here we are now buying them (and their families) plane tickets to experience things WITH US.  

Selfish motives?  YOU BET… but the grandchildren really are adorable.  AND you only live once.
