About Me

Avalon Envision
Avalon Envision

I am an Avalon Waterways Specialist, part of the Globus Family of Brands, designing immersive, luxury river cruise experiences throughout Europe, Asia, and South America. As an Avalon Waterways Specialist, I help travelers select the right ship, itinerary, and cruise style to match their pace, interests, and travel goals. Avalon Waterways is known for panoramic, window-facing beds, spacious suites, regional wine selections on-board, and flexible excursion options that go beyond traditional river cruising.

Why Work with an Avalon Waterways Specialist?

As an Avalon Waterways Specialist, I understand the distinct features that make Avalon different:

  • Panorama Suites with window-facing beds so you wake up to the river views.
  • Wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that transform your suite into an open-air balcony.
  • Regional wine served on-board, thoughtfully selected from the area you are sailing through.
  • Multiple cruise styles, including Active & Discovery itineraries, themed Special Interest cruises, and traditional cultural sailings.
  • Flexible excursion options allowing you to choose active, discovery-focused, or classic experiences in each port.

An Avalon Waterways Specialist ensures you select the right itinerary length, river, cabin category, and seasonal timing for the best overall experience.

Smooth Sailing Ahead
Reviewed By Geo - New Brunswick, NJ | Traveled to Carriacou | St. Vincent & the Grenadines | Caribbean
Josh really listens. And he's a walking library of travel and destination knowledge. Especially cruise ship nuisances. I'd use him again even if it was a premium, but ironically he showed me how to save time and money by working with him. He offered me an on-board credit for my first time using him.
Joshua Comiskey responded
"George, Really appreciate you sharing this. I’m glad the planning process felt helpful and that the cruise details and small nuances made a difference. My goal is always to help make travel smoother, more informed, and better value overall. Hearing that it saved you time and money—and that the onboard credit added to the experience—means a lot. Looking forward to helping you again on the next one."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Virgin Voyages Done Right
Booking our Virgin Voyages sailing out of Puerto Rico with Go Right Travel was such a smart move. Joshua guided us through ship selection, cabin options, and dining reservations—and even added extra Sailor Loot to our booking, which we used for specialty drinks and onboard experiences. It felt like we had VIP treatment without the stress of figuring it all out ourselves. We’ll never book a cruise without him again.
Melissa G., New Jersey
Our Dream Bora Bora Honeymoon
Go Right Travel planned our dream honeymoon at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui, and it was absolutely perfect. Josh secured an incredible overwater bungalow, arranged seamless transfers, and added thoughtful romantic touches that made the trip feel truly special. Every detail was handled, every question answered, and the entire experience felt effortless. All we had to do was arrive and enjoy paradise. We can’t imagine booking a milestone trip with anyone else.
Chris & Lauren T., New York
Seamless Virgin Voyage Experience
Booking our Virgin Voyages cruise with Go Right Travel was the best decision we made. Joshua handled every detail—from choosing the right cabin to securing perks and walking us through the Virgin app—so we felt completely prepared before sailing. The planning process was smooth, stress-free, and personalized. We’ll absolutely book our next cruise with Go Right Travel again.

An Unforgettable Iceland Adventure
Our Iceland journey was nothing short of extraordinary, and Joshua planned every detail perfectly. From relaxing at Sky Lagoon and completing the 7-step ritual to exploring the dramatic South Coast—Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, and Reynisfjara Beach—every day felt epic. We loved dining at Black Crust Pizzeria and experiencing the Lava Show. Hiking the steps above Fjaðrárgljúfur and watching sunrise after emerging from an ice cave at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon was surreal. Walking Diamond Beach beside glistening glacier ice felt like another planet. We ended with a soak at Secret Lagoon and a food tour in Reykjavík—including hot dogs from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur and rye bread ice cream overlooking Hallgrímskirkja. It was the trip of a lifetime.

A Perfect Hawaiian Family Escape
Joshua planned an incredible Hawaii vacation for our family, and every detail exceeded our expectations. Our stay at Disney’s Aulani was seamless—from the resort experience to activities that kept both the kids and adults happy. Joshua also recommended Toa Luau, which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. It felt authentic, intimate, and deeply connected to Hawaiian culture—nothing like the overly commercial shows we’d heard about elsewhere. Having Joshua handle the planning allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our time together. We came home with unforgettable memories and can’t wait to book our next trip with him.
