Luxury Cruise and River Cruise Specialist

Josh has been an invaluable asset when traveling internationally. What I appreciate most is his ability to deal with unexpected occurrences quickly and efficiently. He always makes things right when things go wrong.

One does not need to worry about anything with Josh. He deals with everything and anticipates everything. Not only is his experience and knowledge invaluable, but his efficiency is legendary and responses are instantaneous.

My spouse and I have done a number of trips via Josh from cruises, to hotels, to general travel. He has been honest, suggesting various options with sights visiting, and restaurants.

I've known Josh for years...having met on a cruise! He is a great tour leader on trips and attentive to the details, and strives to make sure you have a great time. Especially important is when something goes wrong, Josh is all over it.

Since I am an avid traveler, I have worked with a number of travel agencies in the past but I must say, I am very satisfied with the level of excellent service that I have received from Josh Oretsky at Galaxy Travel. Josh attention to detail, his excellent relationship with a variety of cruise lines and his desire to get the best experience for his clients puts him in a category above any other travel agencies. i highly recommend him for all your travel needs and requirements.

Josh recently arranged a trip for us to Iceland. We sailed aboard the Starpride, a gorgeous ship run by Windstar Cruise Lines. It was, as described, absolutely beautiful, and totally first class. Never having been to Iceland, this 7-day trip opened up our eyes to a magnificent country, and the most incredible people.

Josh knows the meaning of taking care of his clients. From the moment that we signed up, we were continuously updated with reminders about forms we need to fill out, scheduling off-ship excursions, and notes to keep up our excitement. Josh took care of everything. Plane to city transfers, hotel to ship transfers, dining reservations, etc.

I have recommended Josh to several friends. We are in the process of planning another great trip with him in the Spring. If you ever had a reservation about working with a travel agent, I would say, give that up and call Josh and Galaxy Travel. You will be so happy you did.

From the start to finish of making plans for our travel, Josh was on top of all that would occur, especially during the pandemic with having to cancel and rebook our plans. He took care of all the details , which gave us peace of mine. I would always use Josh for our travel vacations

Anyone can find a travel agent, but finding an agent who goes the extra mile to provide great personal service is rare. Josh is as good as it gets, always on top of things, and always coming up with great ideas to enhance the journey. Josh is pleasant to work with, detail-oriented, and always open to accommodating travel requests and special needs.

Josh Oretsky has been an excellent resource for all of our travel planning. His first hand experience, attention to detail, and genuine concern for what WE want for our vacation; makes planning with Josh almost effortless.

I have had experience with several other travel agents over the years, but Josh has proven that he is top in his field and a true travel professional. If you decide to work with Josh, you will not simply be planning a vacation; you will be planning an experience you won't forget.

Josh has been my personal travel agent for years, Recently he booked my family an amazing 12 day vacation package that was the trip of a lifetime for our family.
The options he presented to us to select from were above and beyond what we expected and hoped for. The daily excursions were spectacular to say the least.
His knowledge of air connections and airlines is unsurpassed and his ability to find the perfect unique hotel for us to stay in every few days was extraordinary.
Jos has booked trips for me to Europe, The Galapagos islands, Australia, and Hawaiian Islands.
I highly recommend him for your travel plans, especially for those exotic locations that are off the grid that most people dream of seeing.

Josh is super professional, conscientious, responsive, cares that every guest is taken care of and their needs are met, and he was a lot of fun to hang out with on the trip, too! I would definitely recommend others sign up with Josh and Galaxy Travels!

Josh is one of the best in the travel industry. We have completed 2 incredible trips with his planning. He is ultimate Pro, answering every question that we had, and being proactive instead of reactive with any issues that came up. He also helped one of our friends with air fare on a trip they were taking (that he didn't get paid on) and saved them $5,000 on airfare! Now that is service!!!!

Josh is always professional and friendly. His knowledge of the different cruises and destinations is phenomenal. He was very patient with us and gave us an amazing experience. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Josh to anyone looking for a memorable trip!

I worked with Josh on a river cruise in Burgundy and Provence as well as pre-cruise hotels in Paris and Lyon. Josh was easy to work with providing personal service each step of the way. He gave me several hotel options in both cities based on my preferred price range. Both hotels I selected were excellent. The cruise was a spectacular experience. The ship, Amadeus Provence, was beautiful with excellent food and attentive, friendly staff. Everything was Very well organized with fun and informative excursions. I highly recommend Josh and Galaxy Travel.

Josh is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of the kinds of touches that can make a travel experience truly stand out. He finds itineraries which combine adventure with luxury. And he is very responsive —which is a great thing to have in your travel professional.

Great! He had good communication regarding the upcoming trip. I loved the Axus app were he stored all of my travel info - dates, flights, times, ground transportation, cruise schedule, etc. It was terrific to have it in one location with easy access. Josh was always available to help when needed.

Was very helpful with planning the trip making sure that everything I would need was taken care of.

Josh is absolutely amazing it's been a pleasure and everything is done to the highest profession thank you
