Adventure Cruising

Whether it’s the destination that is adventurous like Antarctica or the Galapagos Islands, or you can’t wait to don your hiking boots or your scuba gear on some thrilling shore excursions – there are a number of adventure cruises that will get your adrenaline pumping.

Escorted Cruises

We offer a number of special escorted cruises throughout the year led by our experienced and knowledgeable hosts. Our hosts will welcome you into our group for an exciting adventure with new friends.

River Cruises

Stunning scenery, charming towns and villages, and intimate modern river cruise ships are making river cruising one of the fastest growing trends in travel. A river cruise provides a unique and authentic way to visit and explore Europe, Russia, Asia, America and the Amazon.

Short Notice Cruises

While it’s usually best to plan your cruise ahead to get your pick of ships, itineraries and cabin selection, there may be some last minute cruise inventory available if you have a flexible schedule.

Solo Travel Offers

Cruising is a great vacation option for single travelers as it is a safe way to travel on your own while enjoying plenty of opportunities to meet other travelers on and off the ship. Occasionally Cruise Specialists can secure special pricing for single cabins and we want to pass on these savings to you.

Theme Cruises

Theme cruises allow you to combine your vacation and a passion into one special trip. From food and wine, to art appreciation, dance, bridge, fitness and more – there’s plenty of theme cruises that will allow you to explore a fun hobby with other travel enthusiasts.

It is nice to work with Cruise Specialists because they are warm, helpful, attentive and very professional. They make cruising a real pleasure. Closed Quote

Jim and Irene Baughman

This was my first experience both with a long term cruise and with Cruise Specialists and I loved it all, and certainly want to do it again in the future. It was a pleasure to meet and have the escorts! Closed Quote

Sheila Klein

Having Cruise Specialists escorts gave us a definitely personalized attachment to the cruise, and we loved the ‘extras’, like the CS tours. The special ‘gifts’ were wonderful. The windbreakers were particularly welcome. As usual, we were totally pleased with Cruise Specialists. Thanks for everything. Closed Quote

Edward and Janet B.

I love doing business with Cruise Specialists – I wish I had been in touch with your company years ago. I was extremely pleased with your services and so happy to have met Debra. She is so easy to work with, and now feels like an old friend. I am anxious to get started planning my next voyage! Closed Quote

Diane Love

Our experience with Cruise Specialists has been on Holland America Grand World Voyages. Excellent Service is another name for Cruise Specialists. The service starts with a "person" answering the telephone. Our Cruise Consultant is knowledgeable, efficient, and with good closure. The cruise escorts are excellent sources of information and guidance during the cruise. The amenities package is generous, and the price of the cruise is competitive. We have been very pleased with the Cruise Specialists service. Closed Quote

Dolores and William Ranck

We have known Cruise Specialists escorts Kevin LaGraff and Susan Atkins since 2003. Their knowledge of ports and their advice regarding shore excursions is excellent. Closed Quote

Mr. and Mrs. Mike Kinne

The staff at Cruise Specialists are not only friendly and great to work with, but they get back to me right away with any questions or concerns I may have about my upcoming cruise vacation. Closed Quote

Being a Cruise Specialists client feels like you are part of their family. Through the years, I have developed personal relationships with my agent, the onboard escorts, and the entire Cruise Specialists team and know they will put together a great cruise experience for me every time. Closed Quote

Alan Hesdorffer

My experience on the recent Holland America world cruise with Cruise Specialists was the best thing that ever happened to me! I got to explore the world, see new cultures, become more compassionate and self-confident, and learn more about myself. I even met my soul mate and am now engaged to be married! As a 40 year old cruiser, I definitely encourage other younger travelers to embark on a world cruise while they are healthy and physically able to participate in all the shore excursions and adventures that are available on a world cruise itinerary!

Alex Johnson

Three generations of my family are now Cruise Specialists clients as well as a number of friends. Why? We receive impeccable individual service from a team of knowledgeable, well-trained professionals who are in tune with our needs and requests. Calls to Cruise Specialists staffers - real people who obviously love their jobs - are always happy ones. Closed Quote

Nanette Galloni

We tell everyone we meet who talks about cruising that Cruise Specialists is the BEST out there! We have signed up for the 2013 World Cruise and while on this one, we talked four more couples into going! No one seems to compare with your itinerary on HAL and when you add in all the ‘extras’ that CS gives, it’s unbeatable combination. Thank you for continuing to be number one! Closed Quote

Mrs. Norma Wilson and Mr. Coy Clark

One could not ask for a more devoted representation for their organization than the Cruise Specialists onboard escorts. It was a pleasure to work with all of them. Closed Quote
