I am so thankful that Shabanna is an expert on all things related to Disney. She not only booked our hotel and park reservations, but she also helped us set up the app on my phone. She even synced the app for us to make the park tickets and park reservation match up and be accessible on the app which is a current requirement due to COVID19. I would have been extremely frustrated trying to do this on my own. World Cruises and Travel always exceeds my expectations and makes all of my experiences seamless.

To the clients and future clients relying on Blair Hickey for their travel arrangements. For years I have engaged Blair to make all sorts of flawless arrangements for cruises, crossings and global transportation, but only in the last year have I realized how lost I would be without her relentless efforts. A Seabourn crossing from Miami to Barcelona was booked in 2019 for travel in the spring of 2020. Obviously all plans and arrangements were cancelled because of Covid 19…all plans except for Seabourn’s ideas which could best be described as nonexistent . Alternant future options were not comparable and our efforts to simply cancel and restart at a later date were futile, and any request to just get our full fare payment refunded was denied.
Finally after months of rejection or no response from Seabourn, Blair Hickey secured full cancellation refunds, delivered in grudging partial payments. It was not even possible for me to talk to Seabourn, much less help with this effort. I’m positive that without Blair’s relentless efforts, my girlfriend and I would simply be out roughly fifteen thousand dollars.
I once thought that Seabourn was the classiest cruise line. I guess the “Carnival” effect has taken over.

"I used World Cruises & Travel for my Asian vacation on the recommendation of a friend. One of the things I particularly appreciated is how simple you make things. I was especially grateful that you arranged to have my jacket shipped to my home when I left it at my hotel in Singapore with my car keys in the pocket.

"World Cruises & Travel gathered travel information for our entire family of 18 people. We were provided visa information, our cruise was booked, and we were assisted in land-package excursions and tours. Without this diligence, we would not have had such a rich and varied vacation. Attentiveness and accessibility demonstrate that World Cruises & Travel is not only professional; but cares about your trip just as much as you do (if not more).
Deb, Kentucky
It’s wonderful to have not only someone who is professional and with a world of knowledge but also cares. That’s more rare than it should be and all the more appreciated when found.

Thank you for all your help with our recent vacation to Italy. You listened to what we wanted and put together a package where all of the details were taken care of ahead of time so we could just enjoy the experience. We won’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends.
Bonnie, Florida
I just want to say Thank You so much, for me, experiencing the BEST cruise I ever went on, that Michael got spoiled on his first cruise. The AzAmazing Evening was just what the word says - amazing! I have already recommended you to my friends and one may be calling you soon. Thank you again for your help in coordinating such an "amazing" vacation. It was everything and more . . .

We traveled with Blair and David to South Africa in 2018. On the ferry trip to Robben Island, David and Blair still made time to check on all the upcoming reservations for our trip. They are remarkable!
Syndie, Florida
OMG! Diane, you and David rocked this South Africa trip! Though we would have really loved to continue our trip with “our trip club friends”, David and I loved coming back to Cape Town and continuing where we originally started. You were certainly spot on with recommending Table Bay. It was perfect! Loved your pics!

We took the Petra and Wadi Rum combined tour for a WONDERFUL day. Petra was terrific and a place I have waited my entire life to see. As we came around the last turn in the Siq and there in bright sunlight was the first glimmer of the Treasury building. It was a breathtaking memory we shall never forget. Then on to a jeep tour in the Wadi Rum with vastness that goes to the horizon and rock formations that rivaled any I have ever seen anywhere in the world. The jeep tour ended in the desert at a Bedouin camp where we were served dinner and entertained by a group of male dancers in local costume. They put on a wonderful show and the dinner was wonderful. Can't thank you enough for this, it was a memory, as I indicated, that we will remember and talk about forever.

I had booked a cruise to South America and I was told by Blair that, while I would not need a visa, I would need to pay an Argentinian Reciprocity Fee. It could only be done online and I needed to print it out and take it with me on my trip. Because the site was in Spanish, the directions were very confusing and I could not locate where I was supposed to print it out. Blair, with the help of David, located the form, printed it out and mailed it to me. OMG, I was thinking I'd have to go to the Consulate. Oh, thank you Blair and David! You guys are the best! Amazing, wow, super. Thank you!
Wendy, Florida
It’s hard for me to define how much this trip to Africa. meant to me and how much it was a trip of a lifetime! Everything was an amazing experience and I feel so fortunate to have traveled with such a wonderful group and to meet many new friends. This would not have been possible without your dedication and travel expertise and I thank you so much. It will be with me for a long time.

We booked a safari for our 30th wedding anniversary, but we were hesitant because we did not want to rough it. Put simply, World Cruises & Travel did better than a great job. You listened to our concerns and provided us loads of information about the various safari opportunities that met our requirements. Without fault, all the arrangement exceeded my highest expectations. We stayed at the Twelve Apostles, Singita Ebony, and Royal Malawane and each delivered the best service I have ever experienced anywhere. The Twelve Apostles accommodations were extraordinary (the only part of our trip that was not on safari). The Singita Ebony Lodge was the epitome of class, and the chef at Royal Malewane was fabulous. The game drives at the lodges were spectacular. My wife and I appreciate World Cruises & Travel saving me time and money by sorting through the various options and comparing prices. You gave us expert advice so our anniversary was an experience we will talk about forever.

We were considering an African safari, but were flummoxed after months of web searching and calling.
Some of the questions we had were:
What countries should we visit?
What is he best time to go:
What is the difference between a safari that costs half the price of another safari?
I decided to call World Cruises & Travel, a company that I've used for years for cruises. A very good decision! Competitively priced, we had wonderful trip. Everything was put in place. Transportation, lodgings, meals and especially logistics. After 19 hour of travel. we can't express out joy at seeing a smiling face holding a sign w/ our name at the bottom of the stairway of our plane in Nairobi. The van traveled to customs, passing by all the other boarding a bus to the terminal. We were on the road to the first hotel while other were queuing up for passport control! At every step, we enjoyed and relaxed. We saw the "big 5" and a lot more. All was exceptional.
