Frequently Asked Questions
Hidden
Hidden
What’s the difference between an ocean cruise and a river cruise?
Ocean cruises travel longer distances between coastal destinations on large ships, often with hundreds or thousands of passengers. River cruises are more intimate, with smaller ships that dock in the heart of cities and towns along scenic inland waterways.
Do you help choose cruise lines and itineraries?
Yes. Whether you’re interested in luxury, family fun, cultural immersion, or themed sailings, we help match you with the right cruise line and itinerary for your travel goals and budget.
Is airfare and hotel included in cruise planning?
We can help you arrange flights, pre- and post-cruise accommodations, and airport transfers to make the entire journey smooth from start to finish.
Do cruises include excursions and dining?
Many cruise lines offer inclusive packages that cover daily excursions, onboard meals, and drinks with meals. We’ll walk you through what’s included so there are no surprises.
Can you assist with travel insurance or special requests?
Yes. We offer help with selecting the right travel insurance and managing details like cabin preferences, mobility needs, or dietary accommodations.
How far in advance should I book a cruise?
For ocean cruises, we recommend booking 6–12 months in advance. For river cruises, the earlier the better, especially for popular seasons like spring tulip time or holiday market sailings.
