Taste the Difference ~ Travel Advisor vs. Online Booking

By now you should know the difference in booking with a travel advisor vs. booking on-line. From the obvious support offered from a good advisor to the assistance sifting through all the possible promotions finding you the best price to saving you hours (yes hours) of time while we contact the resort or cruise line on your behalf … we are the true definition of being the ‘icing on the cake.’ It’s like buying a great house in a good neighborhood with no lawn included and no light fixtures in the house. You don’t need them, but it sure would be nice have those extras included with your full package.

For all our food and wine enthusiasts we offer culinary-themed sailings onboard premium and luxury cruise lines.  Each departure celebrates a world of epicurean delights and features demonstrations from world-renowned chefs, cooking classes onboard and on shore, wine and spirit tastings and delightful meals focused on regional cuisine. In addition, your will receive value added amenities at no extra cost, such as onboard credit or the services of a Distinctive Voyages Host, a Private Welcome Reception and an Exclusive Shore Event.

  • Avalon Waterways Offer: Bottle of Wine and Box of Chocolates

 20th Anniversary Celebration Planning

Reviewed By Rick W. - Broomfield, CO | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean

Rhonda is clearly our "go to" person for all our travel needs. She's extremely professional and responsive to every request we've had for several years now. This has been especially helpful recently, as we carefully have scheduled our travels during the Covid-19 crisis. In short, there is no one my wife and I would trust more for our travel-related needs and planning than Rhonda. I would recommend this agent to my family and friendsWas this review helpful to you? YES | NO

Rhonda was attentive, honest, and made sure we got the staterooms we wanted and the best pricing available! She even sent additional information that helped us feel like this was really the trip for us. It's a pleasure to work with Rhonda!
