Testimonials
Great cruise! Everything you planned went very well, we couldn't be happier with all the arraignments you made.
The weather was perfect.
- William M.
Sheila and Chris take care of everything. Never had a problem on our two previous cruises booked with them. Even get shipboard credits, which other travel agents don't know about. Highly recommend.
Hi, Chris and Sheila,
We got back last night and everything was terrific.
Thank you so much for helping make this vacation experience possible.

Chris and Sheila are truly amazing travel agents. They have always exceeded my expectations by giving me personnel one on one advice. Don't even think about planning a cruise or vacation on your own. Believe me when I say they find the best cruise deals and flights that you can't get on your own. They always appreciate your business with additional cruise perks and a bottle of wine!

Korte Cruise planners, Sheila & Chris, are truly experts! I initiated our cruise through Viking, but turned to Korte Cruise Planners to finish the booking details; I became keenly aware that I was a novice traveler, as well as a first-time cruiser. Thanks to KC planners, my husband and I experienced an amazing and most memorable
Romantic Blue Danube Cruise experience, celebrating my retirement. Every detail attended to create the most perfect cruise experience. Thank you Sheila & Chris!

Hi Sheila-
Just wanted you to know we are having a wonderful time!! And the Kensington tour that you arranged for us in Paris was just extraordinary. It could not have been more fun! Our guide Dina was delightful, funny, interesting and extremely knowledgeable. She also listened carefully and picked bistros and chocolatiers based on our interests. I can’t imagine how we could have made better use of that time in Paris. Thank you so much for the recommendation, and I would strongly encourage others to take that route. It was well beyond our expectations and started our trip off perfectly!
We have really enjoyed the Scenic line and have met some great people already. You were exactly right to recommend this cruise line, Sheila. It is everything you said it would be.
We are now in Rouen and are off to find a bistro for the afternoon:-)!! I will check in later this week, and I will continue to raise a glass to you for your support in launching this adventure!!
Warmly,
Barb

Words and photos don't do justice to describe the wonderful times we experienced in Ireland. Your thoughtful choices about the itinerary put us in a variety of settings that gave us a delicious taste of Ireland at a relaxing pace. And it was brilliant to end with Ashford Castle, a place so beautiful and so seamlessly run that I felt like I was in an Irish version of Downton Abbey.
Thank you so much for organizing our tour!

Chris and Sheila are buttoned-up and very passionate that they give their clients the best experience possible. We have booked three different cruises with them to various parts of the world (Baltic, Asia, Mideast/Europe) and they not only handled all the details of the cruise, flights, etc. but also the pre- and post land packages too.

Hi, Chris, We got home today everything was wonderful. The boat the crew the food and the service was the best we ever experienced. Lots of walking far more than we expected but we did OK. Amsterdam was an interesting city for sure. We had to have walked miles!! Thank you so much for all your help and for the credit on the ship, that more than covered our bar bill! Now let's talk Alaska!
- Margaret D.
Hi, Sheila, Just want to say thanks for making our cruise to Nova Scotia, worry free. The room upgrade, food, tours and entertainment on board were top notch. The on board amenities that you & Norwegian provided helped to reduce our expenses.
Only complaint was that the internet package didn't work when trying to watch Sunday mass. Seemed like everyone who had the package complained. After a few days the bugs were worked out.
Regards;
Bill and Lynn Martinetti
PS Thank you for he chocolate covered strawberries, they were a delicious suprise!
- William M.
Chris and Sheila are the best in the industry. Their knowledge of travel in these unpredictable times provides the comfort level needed when traveling out of the U.S. Very professional and resourceful with that personal touch so essential in organizing a memorable vacation.
Thank you Chris and Sheila!

Sheila Korte we had a blast on our recent cruise. Thank YOU for making it so awesome! The treat you provided to us was a nice touch. It was great to get back to 16 degree weather here in Boston after enjoying the beaches on the cruise. #AnthemoftheSea

Chris and Sheila,
Thanks for helping us set up a wonderful trip for Sue’s 70th Birthday! We loved Sandals South Coast!
- Peter S.
Sheila and Chris recently planned a Princess for my husband. He was taking his Board of Directors and senior management team, which meant booking 17 cabins, not a simple task since we were a little late in starting the project. All we had to do was give them our desires, the list of passengers, and VOILA, it was done. Everyone was notified of what they needed as far as documents necessary, clothes to pack, and flight information. I'm good at planning parties, but this never been accomplished without Korte Travel - Cruiseplanners, handling all the details.
Thank you so much Sheila and Chris for such tremendous care. Can't wait until it's time to plan another trip.
- William R.
A great big thanks to Sheila and Chris for helping us plan our trip. If anyone is looking for an outstanding travel agent go straight to Korte Travel. Www.kortetravel.com.
We had the time of our lives on this cruise! We agreed that it was our best vacation ever! We loved the Breakaway. I posted some pictures on Facebook but the pictures do not do the trip justice. Most of the time we were too busy having a blast to actually stop and take pictures. Many thanks to you for helping us plan this amazing vacation.

The honeymoon was great. St. Lucia was beautiful. Sandals Grand was fabulous. The Sandals Grand Honeymoon swim up lagoon pool room was perfect. It was everything I wanted having a semi private pool and not having the cost of a private pool. The resort was so big we were able to eat at a different restaurant each night. A nice touch was every restaurant had their own signature drink and all tasted amazing. The beach had enough seating every time we went and the ocean had these big floats attached to the bottom by cinderblock you could float on all day, that was another really nice touch.
We did two tours the JJ Speedboat tour (which is big right now) that was great you go to snorkel, mud bath, bath in a waterfall, see the island coast by boat. The other tour was a Segway tour, I brought bug spray to this one, had a great time. The views on the Segway tour were amazingly beautiful.
We really had a fabulous time I can not thank you enough for setting it up. Attached are a few pics.

Our trip was amazing! We were so pleased with Insight and would have you book next trip for sure. We were thrilled with our tour guide and coach driver. Great accommodations, perfect weather and met a wonderful couple from Australia. They want us to come and visit them. Thank you again, I would recommend your expertise and help to friends.
We used professional travel planners who we trust explicitly; Cruise Planners - Chris and Sheila Korte. We would not have found the Cruise that exceeded our expectations without them. We had a spectacular time and will be speaking to Chris & Sheila in the next few months to plan our next vacation.

Hi Sheila - I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much we loved the trip!
I expected to experience a few snafu’s along the way, but every detail that you planned went off perfectly. We were met by guides at every transfer and loved
the entire experience. I am so grateful that you mentioned Uniworld Cruises and can’t wait to plan another adventure. Debbie & Mike

After 4 days on Honolulu, we took a cruise upon the Pride of America to the different islands and were able to explore how beautiful Hawaii truly was! We took a rafting trip up the Napali Coast, that was breath taking, we jumped off water falls and road in Helicopters and even felt the heat of the lava from the volcanos, she was able to recommend the best trips and restaurants, everything was perfect!!! And even with all of the Hustle from our wedding, we forgot all of our documents...oops, and Sheila was there right away with back up's for us to print at the hotel! I would absolutely recommend Sheila and Chris for a stress free and amazing vacation or honeymoon!! Thanks again so much to the both of you!! Our honeymoon was made extra special when we arrived in our state room to a delicious cheese and fruit platter, and a nice relaxing bottle of red wine to start the trip!! so much fun, thanks again!!! Also, any questions we had or concerns were answered right away, they were really on top of it all!! will book again in the future :o) .......Casey and Richard Gherardi

Thank you Sheila & Chris Korte of Cruise Planners American Express for helping to plan my Dad's 80th birthday cruise to Alaska! It was a wonderful experience for our entire family, creating a lifetime of lasting memories. You both were a pleasure to work with and we couldn't have done it without you!

Dear Chris & Sheila: We cannot thank you enough for making our first ever cruise a memorable one. We could not have done this without your time and help. Celebrity was truly the best choice. We LOVED it! Thanks for making this anniversary celebration so special. Warmly, Fran & Mike Durso

Our thanks to Sheila and Chris for setting everything up for our first cruise. They took care of everything from my wife's special needs to booking excursions and the best part was getting us a great airline fare with minimal layovers.

We heard good things about Sheila and Chris of Korte Travel through my wife's business community. We wanted to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with a special trip, so we contacted Sheila for help. We found her to be warm and friendly and also very professional. Korte Travel handled all the arrangements for our trip to Cancun and took care of every detail. The itinerary was well laid-out, very organized and easy to understand. Sheila and Chris were caring and thorough; I would recommend them without hesitation.

My husband and I met Sheila and Chris of Korte Travel last year on a cruise, and they made a very good impression on us. We had them arrange our Viking cruise to Vietnam and Cambodia, with an additional few days in Hong Kong. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, Sheila and Chris are friendly and were very patient with all my questions and concerns. They were willing to go out of their way to make certain that every detail was arranged and completed correctly. Sheila double-checked all the documents before sending them to us. We feel very comfortable working with Sheila and Chris and are currently planning more trips with them. We have recommended
them to friends and will continue to do so.
- Linda T.
We had an amazing time. The weather cooperated most of the time. We took your advice on which ports to see and it was perfect. We took cruise tours for both Berlin and Petersburg. We did the "hop on hop off" for the others, but we mostly walked and were able to get a feel for the different countries. On Saturday we walked around Tallinn, Estonia. The kosher food requested worked out great. The cabins couldn't have been better and were centrally located. We loved cruising so much that we are going to plan another family cruise in 2015 to the Galápagos Islands. Thanks again. It was a very memorable and fun vacation. Will be in touch about our next vacation! "

I called Sheila at Korte Travel on a Tuesday, to help make travel arrangements to take my family to Disney the following Saturday. Within hours of my first call, Sheila was able to give me several options to choose from. I had looked into travel to Disney before calling her, so I was very impressed with the better pricing she was able to provide. Sheila was concerned that I would receive the documentation and tickets in time, so she had several scenarios worked out in case there was a delay. She went above and beyond my expectations.
I’ve never used the services of a travel agent before, but going forward I will ask Sheila to plan my future travel arrangements. Although I wouldn’t recommend traveling under that kind of time constraint, Sheila was so incredibly helpful that I would recommend Korte Travel to my friends and family.

We have known Sheila and Chris Korte of Korte Travel for over 7 years. They have been great at researching available deals and finding the best prices and options. They are also extremely accommodating. Sheila and Chris take the time to talk to their clients and find out what they really want. We had a ton of questions and they got us answers that helped us make the right choices for our trips. Sheila and Chris believe in excellent customer service. Their follow up is excellent, even after the trip. We have used Korte Travel to book several cruises. Our river cruise was everything they said and more. We have actually booked another Viking cruise through Korte Travel for this summer. We would highly recommend using Chris and Sheila of Korte Travel.

I recently booked a Cruise through Korte Travel. They were able to find us a larger stateroom for the same money as we were able to find ourselves on the Internet. Sheila, our main contact, had excellent follow-up throughout the weeks leading up to the cruise. She was very customer service oriented. When we got to our room after embarking, there was a nice surprise welcome gift from Korte Travel. The week after I returned home, a card arrived in the mail from Sheila thanking us for our business and making sure we were satisfied with the trip. I would definitely book my next cruise through Korte Travel.
Sheila,
Paula and I just wanted to tell you how happy we are that you arranged our 40th Anniversary Cruise.
The ship was magnificent....exceeded all of our dreams....the nightlife and shows were like being in Manhattan, the food was excellent,
and the service was all top shelf......so many daily activities we were never bored the entire trip.
The Weather was perfect and the seas were calm the entire 7 days.......5/05-5/12
Paula never knew when the ship was moving.
This was the best choice and the best way to celebrate our Anniversary...
Sheila we appreciate all your time and effort to make our 40th Anniversary so special.
