Cruise Specialist

Joyce made our trip enjoyable from start to finish. She handled our reservations with ease, professionally and proficiently. We will use Joyce every time! She is our travel agent from here forward!

Working with Joy was a breeze. She was so informative and always willing to answer any questions we had.

Joy was awesome and answered a billion questions from us first time cruisers!!! She made everything run smoothly!!!

Joy was great! I was able to enjoy my cruise rather than worry about all the logistics, Joy did it all! The attention to detail really stood out to me. No small thing went unexplained which I appreciated greatly. Her recommendations were also spot on! She truly cares about her clients vacations and will do anything she can to make it the best trip you’ve ever taken. Will be booking with Abeln Travel again SOON!!

Joy is super easy going and accommodating. She handled our group of couples with ease. She even threw in a couple of surprises!

This Alaska cruise exceeded all expectations—breathtaking scenery, incredible excursions, and a completely stress-free experience thanks to Joy. Every detail was handled flawlessly, from booking to final day. If you’re planning a trip, especially one this special, I highly recommend using Joy as she truly knows her stuff.

Our Alaska cruise was unforgettable, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing travel agent Joy! From glacier views and wildlife sightings to seamless excursions and onboard perks, everything was perfectly planned. Even when our flight was delayed, they handled the changes without stress on our end. If you’re dreaming of an Alaska adventure, work with a pro—you won’t regret it.

Huge shout-out to Joy! Thanks to her insider know-how (like knowing which cabins offer the best views and how to snag onboard credits or refunds when fares dropped), our Alaska cruise was effortless, budget-savvy, and packed with scenery—from towering tidewater glaciers and glacier-carved fjords to orcas breaching and bald eagles soaring overhead. We never stressed booking transfers, flights, or excursions, and even when our outbound flight got delayed, Joy coordinated directly with the cruise line so we didn’t miss a thing—no DIY headache, just pure Alaska magic. Joy truly did in a day what might have taken us weeks of Googling and calls, and it’s worth every penny for that peace of mind.

I recently returned from an unforgettable Alaska cruise, and I have to give full credit to Joy for making it all happen so seamlessly. From the very first consultation, she took the time to understand what kind of experience I was looking for and delivered beyond my expectations. She handled every detail—from selecting the perfect cruise line and itinerary to booking flights, transfers, and pre-cruise accommodations. The glacier viewing, wildlife tours, and scenic rail experience were exactly what I hoped for—and more! What really stood out was her responsiveness and thorough communication. I never felt in the dark about anything, and they were always available to answer questions or make last-minute adjustments. Thanks to her expert planning, all I had to do was relax and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, amazing food, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again or recommend them to anyone planning a cruise or any other adventure.

Joy was so helpful and great as we planned our trip.
