Booking your cruise can be a fun and exciting part of your cruise experience but knowing where to sail, which ship will suit your personal preferences and knowing what specials are being offered can be complicated and confusing experience. Any errors or misinformation that results can create an expensive and time-consuming mistake. Remember that your cruise is a significant investment and it imperative that your cruise reservation is booked with a professional cruise counselor who will be your travel advocate.

At The Cruise Vacation Experts, our Cruise Specialists have 30 years of experience selling and sailing on cruise ships. We match each client with the cruise ship and itinerary that will best suit his or her needs and style. In addition, we offer many added values including; competitive pricing, special amenities, cabin upgrades, private shore excursions, shipboard credits and much more.

When talking with one of our Cruise Specialists, please be sure to provide us with your travel timeframe and let us know if you are flexible with your dates. Often different sailing dates will offer different pricing and by moving your cruise dates by a week or two, you can enjoy considerable savings. Our Cruise Experts know the various itineraries and fare structures and can guide you to the sailing, which will offer you the best value for your travel dollar.

Be sure to mention if you are a past passenger of the line you are selecting. Most lines will offer an added value to their loyal, repeat clients.

To help ensure that you have peace of mind, we highly recommend you consider purchasing travel insurance either through the cruise line or an independent provider. Travel insurance is designed to provide a wide range of financial protection and assistance services at very competitive rates.

Travel insurance not only provides reimbursement for penalies that may be assessed due to cancellations for covered reasons, but also provides medical reimbursement for accidents overseas where Medicare and many private insurance policies are geographically invalid. In addition, most travel policies cover travel delays, baggage protection, medical protection, emergency evacuation and worldwide assistance services. It is recommended that you discuss your travel insurance with your Cruise Specialist at the time you make your reservation.

We hope that the information we have provided will give you a general idea of the many factors which contribute to the overall success of your cruise vacation. Keep in mind that, just as you have a good financial advisor to assist you with investments, or a good lawyer to handle legal matters, an experienced, professional cruise specialist is key to a successful cruise vacation.

Let one of our Cruise Vacation Experts assist you in making your cruise a success and a time to remember.
