Testimonials

Diane @ Cruise Planner did an amazing job. Every detail was arranged perfectly. AMA Waterways was struggling a bit with organizing and quality of experience hence the lesser than perfect score. We have several trips planned with Cruise Planners and look forward to working with Diane more. - Michael K.
If you are looking for the highest level of service, care and accommodation for an upcoming trip, look no further. Diane worked with me day and night to execute on our vision for a perfect vacation. She listened to our ideas and shared insights into the best options that aligned well for a very complex trip, with 16 people coming together from around the world. We put our trust in Diane to curate an extraordinary week and she delivered in every way imaginable. Even during an unforeseen obstacle with one of our guests, Diane was quick to find a remedy and help us continue enjoying our time together. She helped us navigate every aspect of our travels and elevated our entire experience. I will be using her exclusively for all my travel needs and highly recommend her to anyone looking to take the guess work out of your vacation so you can focus on truly enjoying your time away. - Peter B.
