Unpack Once and Set Sail for the Horizon

Do you prefer to relax at the beach or snorkel offshore? Looking to explore the last frontier in Alaska? Europe on your bucket list but not sure how to visit a number of different countries with ease? 

Do you enjoy a variety of delicious dining options at your fingertips? Looking for something both the kids, grandparents and you can enjoy? What about nightly entertainment – do you prefer Broadway shows, karaoke singing or just relaxing under the moonlit sky? Are you looking for thrills or shopping during the day? What if you want all of this in one vacation?

It's not a pipe dream; we have the perfect vacation option for you when you step onboard a cruise. Cruises are designed to please the youngest, the oldest, and everyone in between. Whether it is a yearly family vacation, celebrating an event, a multi-generational vacation, an adult-only getaway, or a big family reunion - cruising continues to be the perfect vacation for families.

Cruising allows you to unpack just once and set sail to several destinations. Maybe you want to climb a waterfall in Jamaica, splash in the blue waters of Cozumel or explore shopping in Nassau. Many cruise lines offer a stop at their private island which most guests tell us is the highlight of their vacation.The stunning destinations, family-friendly activities, onboard thrills, amazing food, and world-class nightly entertainment are ALL INCLUDED with your cruise fare. 

Don't be overwhelmed with all the choices. Today’s ships have a variety of staterooms, features, and destinations. Choosing one that is best for you can be a challenge. This is where your Simple Luxuries Travel consultant can be very helpful. Our in-depth knowledge of each cruise line can help guide you toward the best choice for your family. Contact us today and let’s start planning.

2019 Cousins Crew Trip
Reviewed By cousins crew - Centreville, VA | Traveled to Ocho Rios ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
My experience has been nothing but top notch! Super professional and always goes the extra mile to make sure your family has a trip to remember! I have been a client for over 5 years if not longer. She has always found the perfect getaway both domestic and international! Amazing travel agent for all your travel desires...cruises, Disney, All-Inclusive Island getaways, you name it she can make it happen! :)

My most recent trip to Jamaica was planned last year. She assisted in providing varying room options (we ended up with an oceanfront suite). Patricia provided us with airport options and even suggest a VIP service which made the airport experience wonderful and uneventful. The Beaches Ocho Rios resort was amazing! Ultimately her efforts made this 2019 girls trip smooth from start to finish! I have and will continue to refer her to my family and friends. Best travel agent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Vacation to Remember
Reviewed By Traveling in Style - Apollo Beach, FL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Patricia has planned several vacations for us. This most recent trip was a very special 30th anniversary land and sea cruise to Alaska. Patricia provided much insight into the various cruise lines, providing her opinion based on her knowledge and understanding of my personal likes and dislikes. I was torn between a recommendation from a friend who traveled there a few years ago and Patricia's recommendation of what she thought was more of what I was looking for. In the end we went with Patricia's recommendation and she nailed it. It was a spectacular trip. What I liked best about working with Patricia was her proactiveness and responsiveness.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Bucket List Vacation
Reviewed By Michelle - Gainesville, VA | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Patricia was amazing from beginning to end!!! It felt overwhelming to rebook our trip after COVID cancelled it as there were so many moving parts to it between a week long Disney Cruise and a week at Disney World. But Patricia took it on with ease helping to ensure all details were covered, especially with new regulations in place due to COVID at that time. The vacation was flawless due to all of Patricia’s help and planning ahead of time as well as information and the packet she put together and gave me. I even made some dinner reservation changes while there and she continued to ensure while we were on our vacation that we were still getting her best and she got us in to everything…even restaurants at Disney that were showing no availability when I checked! This is our second big family trip we have planned and booked with Patricia and her help was top notch each time!! I would not dream of using anyone else!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Efficient and Helpful
Reviewed By WhitFam - Chantilly, VA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Flew multiple family members from multiple cities for a long weekend in Disney World in Orlando. Patricia helped with the airlines, hotel, transportation, and park tickets and made a complicated planning effort easy. Provided timely answers and was extra helpful with park information and tips. Would definitely use again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Trip
Reviewed By Iceland - Reykjavik | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
We had a great experience working with Patricia to plan our first trip to Iceland! She worked very closely with us to help pick tours and activities that were of interest to us. She kept in contact with us and always let us know of any issues or changes that needed to be addressed. She went over and above to ensure that we got the most bang for our buck! We absolutely recommend Patricia for planning your next trip!

2nd Disney Vacation Planned by Patricia
We just got back. This is the 2nd Disney trip Patricia helped us with. It’s not easy planning a trip like this with a family of 6, but we listened to her tips and suggestions and everyone had a great time. Highly recommend her services!
