Being mid-sized allows for a certain warmth, intimacy and elegance that is largely devoid on other vessels. The differences are pronounced, especially with regard to the defining points of ambiance, attitude and service.

There are those for whom the sea is an adventure, not a retreat. For travelers who yearn for true exploration and discovery, there is Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Here, guests are treated to award-winning service, ships, and itineraries.

The exclusive MSC Yacht Club on MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida offers luxurious VIP suites, complete with personal Butler. Their private enclave includes 24-hour Concierge service, sumptuous reception area, lounge, pool & bar.

The Haven by Norwegian is more than just a collection of staterooms located at the top of the ship. It is an exclusive enclave with their most luxurious, well-appointed and spacious accommodations.

Ponant, the leader in luxury expeditions, treats every passenger to rare and exceptional ambiance, service, and the sense of sailing on a private yacht.

Five Star Caribbean Travel scheduled my wife and I for a 2012 Christmas cruise for 7 days in the Caribbean. We were very impressed with their professionalism in making the travel arrangements for us. From the necessary paperwork needed, the flight, the transfer to the ship, to the accommodations, and our return, everything was excellent. Nelson made the arrangements and travel extremely easy, that is the way a vacation should be.

We plan on taking another cruise again soon and would not use any other travel agency except Five Star Caribbean Travel. There is no doubt why they are called “Five Star.”
