What Are The Benefits of Booking A Cruise with WeGalavant?

Cruises are having a moment. From small, intimate river cruises to well-established cruise lines (such as Celebrity Cruises, Disney and Virgin Voyages), there’s a water-based vacation for every travel style. But booking a cruise vacation can be tricky. Compared to a resort or hotel booking, there are more moving parts and logistics, which is why it pays to enlist the help of a cruise travel agent. Read on to learn how a Club Curator (aka us!) can level-up your cruise holiday.

A cruise specialist helps determine the best cruise for you

There are numerous cruise lines to choose from, each with their own style and amenities. Perhaps you’re looking for a luxury cruise in the Mediterranean, or maybe you’d prefer a more intimate Norwegian cruise line. Either way, a cruise Club Curator can help you determine which cruise line (and even the specific cruise ship) is best for you.

A cruise expert helps you choose the perfect itinerary

Just as there are numerous cruise lines to choose from, there are also numerous itineraries to consider. What is the best cruise for a trip to Alaska? What’s the best cruise that departs from Miami before sailing around the Caribbean? What’s the best cruise for a far-flung getaway, like a trip to the Galápagos Islands? A cruise Club Curator will be able to answer such questions.

Cruise Club Curator navigates pricing for you

Pricing for cruises can be a bit difficult to navigate. Most cruises are all-inclusive, but what this rate entails can vary between cruise lines. On a Virgin Voyages cruise ship, for instance, all meals, non-alcoholic drinks, gratuities, entertainment, Wi-Fi and even group workouts are included in the upfront lump sum.

Princess Cruises, in contrast, offers distinct packages, each of which includes different amenities. Higher-tiered packages unlock extras like fitness classes, unlimited juice bar access and “premium” dining options. We can help delineate which package offers the best price for your specific preferences.

Cruise specialists help you choose the best cabin

Then there are cabins to think about, too. Although one can typically view the cruise ship’s layout beforehand, it’s difficult to know which accommodation category to choose — and not all cabins are created equally. Opting for the wrong type of cabin can ruin a traveller’s cruising experience. It’s better to rely on the expertise of someone who knows which quarters to book, and which to avoid.

Cruise Club Curators help you make the most of shore excursions

Lisbon, Portugal, a common port of call

One of the best parts of the cruising experience is seeing different locations around the world. Shore excursions matter, and a cruise specialist can help travellers make the most of these (often brief) land-based adventures. First-time travellers, and even returning cruisers, may struggle with ports of call, where passengers disembark before exploring a certain location. It can be nerve-wracking to budget enough time to enjoy a shore excursion and return to the ship before it sails to the next port. Having someone walk you through the process makes all the difference.

Cruise specialists take the stress out of travel planning

A cruise specialist helps eliminate much (if not all) of the stress that can accompany cruise travel planning, especially with so many variables to account for. (Many cruise ships even require guests to choose specific dining times.) And having a direct line of contact with the cruise ship will inevitably enhance your cruising experience. Since you won’t be considered a number amid the masses, you will more likely be treated as a VIP. Plus, cruise specialists receive access to exclusive deals before anyone else, and we pass them along to you, of course.
