About Me

The Regent Seven Seas Voyager
The Regent Seven Seas Voyager

I love to cruise!! I love the convenience of unpacking once and exploring many ports, the incredible service, the delicious food, the entertainment . . . all of it!!  I particularly love sailing on upscale cruise lines - the luxury lines.  

Upscale cruise ships offer a high level of luxury and comfort, with spacious cabins, high-quality amenities, and attentive service. This ambiance creates a sense of relaxation and indulgence that many people find appealing.

Some reasons I love upscale cruising: 

1. Are you a foodie?  I am!  Fine dining is a hallmark of upscale cruise ships. 

2. Entertainment, Education and Relaxation!  Upscale cruise lines often offer a wide range of entertainment and activities, from Broadway-style shows to spa services, fitness centers, and educational programs.

3.  Destination Exploration: Luxury cruise lines often visit unique and exotic destinations, allowing you to explore new places and cultures in style and comfort.

4. Personalized Service: The staff-to-passenger ratio on upscale cruise ships is often high, meaning that you receive personalized and attentive service. This level of care will enhance the overall cruise experience.

Best senior spring break trip!
Reviewed By Nicole - Miami, FL | Traveled to Los Angeles ~ California ~ USA
Susan was extremely helpful in booking our hotel reservation at the SLS Beverly Hills. She understood exactly what we wanted out of the trip, and the location was perfect for accessing West Hollywood and the Beverly Hills business district, and it was only a short drive from the Santa Monica Pier. She suggested amazing restaurants in Malibu and throughout West Hollywood and aided us with booking those reservations, as well. Additionally, Susan was able to recommend fantastic, worth while hikes and sight seeing tours/activities. Overall, she was very accommodating and seemed well versed in what the greater LA area had to offer. Will definitely be working with her again soon!

Most relaxing beach vacation ever!
Reviewed By Anna A. - Westfield, New Jersey | Traveled to Anguilla ~ Caribbean
Susan was a pleasure to worth with from our first conversation. She is a consumate professional who understands value. We were traveling for the first time to the Caribbean and wanted a luxury resort, on a quiet beach but wanted to avoid an all inclusive. She recommended that we stay at Cap Juluca and we couldn't have been more delighted with her suggestion. I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation without hesitation.

Mediterranean Cruise
Reviewed By Patricia - Atlantic Beach, Florida | Traveled to Mediterranean | At Sea | At Sea
Our Princess Sapphire Mediterranean cruise was absolutely wonderful, and we owe so much of that to Susan from Adventures Taken. She handled every detail seamlessly—including trip insurance—which gave us real peace of mind when we faced a family emergency and needed help understanding our coverage. Her care, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to her clients truly stand out. We’ve trusted Susan before and will definitely continue to rely on her for future travels.

Susan was awesome in our mini crisis!
Reviewed By JB81 - Kansas City | Traveled to Germany | Europe
Our flight before our Viking cruise was canceled overnight, delaying us in a hub away from home and our trip by 24 hours. Susan was so helpful (quite honestly, I forgot we had travel insurance) and made sure we got to our boat safe and sound, just a bit later than planned.
Susan Buchner responded
"Oh my goodness!! That was stressful for all! But that is also what I am here for. I am so glad we got it all worked out and that you had a fantastic time on your cruise! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Another five star adventure, thanks to Adventures
Susan helped us plan a family trip to Florence and Venice. She helped us with hotel reservations, gondola excursions, transportation to and from the airports, and everything was perfect! Having someone you can rely on to guide you to the right places makes everything more relaxing, which is the point of a vacation. Can’t wait for Susan to help us choose the next place to go!
