Small Ship Cruise

What travelers are saying

"Knowing what we know now, yes we would still book this cruise. That said, there were glitches. This was the first cruise of the season; some initial food inconsistencies got fixed quickly. The contracted pier locations at the beginning and end of the cruise were pretty bad, especially the one in Chicago (pick-up cabs had difficulty accessing the facility). We did not expect an "entertainment" cruise -- it shouldn't be. The focus should be on seeing and learning. Unfortunately the outsource for the local tours was quite spotty and it seemed like some of the bus drivers hadn't been instructed on routes. There were only two local experts giving talks on the ship; we expected more. The locations themselves were very interesting and worth it all. The ship was pleasant, cabins comfortable and adequate. Food was very good and quite varied, breakfast had a buffet as well as a cooked to order option. However, the option outside of the main dining room (the Grill on topside) was mostly a repeat of main. The Grill should offer sandwich fixings and more salad (lighter stuff) at lunch rather than the same menu as below. The bar was well provisioned. We appreciated the espresso machine with cookies in the lounge (minor complaint: coffee in the restaurant was pretty wimpy). The crew was excellent and service was stellar! We stayed extra days on either end of the trip (Toronto and Chicago), and this should be offered as an option. If the glitches get worked out, this will be a 4-5 star cruise."

What travelers are saying

"Thank you for reaching out! This trip was absolutely phenomenal—truly the best 10 days of my life. I’m incredibly grateful for everything you arranged. Cindy, in particular, took such good care of me. It felt like she was supporting me around the clock, and I really appreciate her dedication. I’m already eager to recommend your services to my friends and colleagues. On top of that, I realized how much I love the South Island—I’m hoping to visit Queenstown and Mount Cook National Park next, perhaps while participating in some business-related community events. I’d be thrilled if your company could help me plan that trip as well. Thank you again for everything. I look forward to traveling with you in the future!"

"We took our family of five adults on a 9-day custom designed Italy trip. Omega tours, Michael Rizzo, did a great job of setting everything up for us and taking care of all the details. Would definitely work with Michael again. Thoroughly enjoyed Venice, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast. Stayed in Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast."

What travelers are saying

"Our mini vacation was wonderful. Pangea House was beautiful and our hosts were excellent. Very welcoming and accommodating, wonderful breakfasts and an amazing 5 course dinner. We especially appreciated all the cooking tips from Geoff. As it turns out, they lived just a few blocks from us in Toronto before moving to Gananoque. And the helicopter tour was great. I am afraid of heights but Scott was an excellent pilot, focused on our safety first but made the trip fun as well. And I felt totally comfortable! I will definitely keep you in mind when we plan another trip! Thanks again for all your help Pat and Jim"
