Cruise Planners Travel Advisors are the Champions of Trip Planning

Cruise Planners, the most award-winning travel company, encourages travelers to celebrate the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games by planning trips to Olympic host cities past and present. Cruise Planners’ competitive pricing, personalized service and innovative mobile technology allows travel agents to plan trips for clients to any of the nations that will be represented during Rio’s Opening Ceremony.  

“Cruise Planners Travel Advisors are the gold medal winners of the travel industry,” said Michelle Fee, CEO and founder of Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Representative. “Our agents work hard, have the best training and go the extra mile with trip customization to ensure that each vacation planned is the best in the game.”

Travelers don’t have to be Olympians to follow in the footsteps of the greatest athletes of all time. From river and ocean cruises to land tours or hotel stays, Cruise Planners travel advisors plan and book all vacation types anywhere in the world, including to these Olympic host cities:

• Beijing, China: In Beijing, the 2008 Summer Olympics host city, travelers can walk through history along the Great Wall of China or in the Forbidden City before flying south to begin a river cruise along the Yangtze River. Small ships allow for passengers to sail through the river’s lush gorges. Travelers who missed out on the 2008 Olympics can visit in 2022 when Beijing becomes the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics. 

• Athens, Greece: Athens, the birthplace of the modern and ancient Olympic Games, is a major port for ships of all sizes, including large ocean liners and small luxury cruises. After climbing the steps of the Acropolis to the Parthenon, travelers can sail throughout the Greek Isles to Santorini and Mykonos where the contrast of white buildings and crisp blue seas have become iconic images of Greece.

• Sydney, Australia: Sydney, host of the 2000 Summer Olympics, is a gateway to New Zealand, the South Pacific and the entire Australian continent. From koalas and kangaroos to glaciers and the Outback, this area has a diverse range of creatures and climates that travelers can explore during a variety of itineraries departing from Sydney. 

• London, England: London, host of the 2012 Summer Olympics, is a hotspot for travelers looking to combine culture and history. Escorted tours will guide travelers to popular destinations such as the London Eye and Stonehenge while those travelers looking to cover more of Europe can book packages featuring overnights in cities all the way to Rome.  

"The Olympic Games have an energy about them that’s infectious and travel is the same way,” Fee said. “Once you start exploring, you’ll always be gearing up for the next big adventure. Using a Cruise Planners travel advisor means travelers will score big with an amazing vacation, so now is the time to ignite the travel torch and visit Olympic host cities."
