Activities and Cruise Excursions:
(remember, if you are traveling on a cruise to make sure the excursion of choice guarantees back to ship)
**Resort for a Day- great for cruise port stops
Travel Protection:
Insuring your investment is smart money. What happens if a family member becomes ill and you can no longer travel or you change jobs and unable to travel. I recommend all of my clients purchase travel protection.
Protect any non refundable with affordable travel insurance. Book within 14-21 days, of initial deposit for most comprehensive coverages, including pre-existing conditions. Use your state of residency, date of birth and cost of trip to get the most accurate quote.

Transfers:
Pre-arrange transfer to and from the airport, cruise ship, hotel, train station to ensure you have a seamless trip.
Photographer:
One of the most memorable ways to remember your travel is through photographs. Book a private professional photographer on your next adventure and have amazing photos to treasure.
