Devoted to planning fine, enriching vacations for nearly 25 years, Cruise Masters / Concierge Travel Advisors has assembled a team of travel experts. Collectively we have explored every continent on earth. At least one of us has personally visited nearly every country of interest to vacationers. When we plan your vacation, we do so with firsthand experience.
When we began, we sold cruise travel exclusively. However as our business developed so did our needs from our clients and for many years we have been a full service leisure travel company offering land travel, custom travel planning, villa arranging and more. Hence, our additional division: Concierge Travel Advisors.
Signature Journeys
We're passionate travelers, anxious to share this passion with each of our guests. For more than 15 years, we have personally created and hosted 5 or 6 Signature Journeys each year. Over those years we've traveled with our guests to every continent; this means that when we craft a new Signature Journey, we do so based upon first-hand experience.
We want you to experience the richness of a destination, to meet the people (often in their homes) and to enjoy the best that the region offers. We take pride in securing special privileges and private invitations for you that are unavailable to others.
We avoid the trappings of typical group travel: crowded buses, inflexible group dining, large groups (our Signature Journeys typically number 18 guests or less) and matching flight bags that signal to everyone that you are tourists. Rather, you are our guests and that's the way we like to host your travels.
Before you ever depart, our extensive briefing advises you about clothing, weather, currency, local customs and much more. Along the way we'll spoil you with unpublished delights and little extras.
