“A beautiful fruit basket was waiting for us in our room when we checked in today. How thoughtful of you! We really appreciate everything you did to make our cruise so special. Our first day on the Viking Sigrun was beyond wonderful!

Thanks again for thinking of us! (LeeAnn)”

Chuck and Ellen

“Huge shout out to Steve who created an absolutely tremendous Alaskan trip. It was a combination of fun tourist activities and revisiting places in Fairbanks and Anchorage where I grew up. Steve did a terrific job of understanding my goals, lining up tours, hotels and sightseeing.”

Mary Sherart

“Every big trip I have done, I just reach out to Joann with where I want to go and when and then she takes it from there. I feel like a lot of people are weird about using a travel agent but it was honestly the best thing I ever did and I wouldn’t trade never go back.”

Sara LeClair

“The only think we can say is that it being 2020 and have to deal with Covid and not know what to really expect it was great and we were very prepared thanks to Julie! She know what she is doing because she loves what she does! Loved working with her.”

Julie Crawley

“We returned from our cruise on Azamara Journey and just wanted to give a big “shout out” to CruisingCo for a wonderful trip. I just cannot say enough good things about the whole experience as it more than met our expectations. The tours, guides, and ports were enjoyed by all.”

JS & RS

“Planning our 9 country European cruise with my brother and sister-in-law was a dream come true—thanks entirely to Char Berger and her amazing team at Cruising Company Etc. From the start, Char treated us like family. She asked the right questions, listened to our needs, and created a trip that was perfect for all of us.

Because my wife uses a wheelchair, Char researched and arranged private, accessible tours in every port—luxury car tours with knowledgeable drivers so we could see everything comfortably and without crowds. It was incredible!

She also coordinated our complex flight plans from two different cities so our whole group could travel together seamlessly. Even during the trip, she was only a call away whenever we needed help.

Char’s knowledge, care, and attention to detail made this the trip of a lifetime. Whether you have special travel needs or just want an amazing, stress-free experience, I couldn’t recommend Cruising Company Etc. more highly.”

Jim and Geri Ballman

“Our vacation was absolutely perfect! Julie completely eliminated the stress of all of the planning and logistics making our job to simply have fun! I fully intend to have her plan our vacations in the future!”

Heather Johnson

“Thanks Char for all you have done to “rescue” me and this trip! I am so pleased that you were able to arrange to have my friend travel with me as a last minute change to my cruise companion. We look forward to a relaxing and beautiful trip, thanks you you.”
