"I still can't get over how fantastic our trip was! From the very first moment we considered going to Lisbon, Debbie handled everything for us. After so many years without international travel, it felt amazing, and it was my husband’s first time traveling abroad! The people in Lisbon were so friendly; they really made us feel at home. We’re definitely planning to go back! This is actually the second trip Debbie has organized for us—she also planned a flawless cruise for our 18th wedding anniversary. We’ll be booking all our future trips with her. If you need someone to take the stress out of travel, I can’t recommend her enough—she really pays great attention to detail!",

Superb Experience! I can’t say enough about my pleasant experiences with Cruise Planners! Deborah Shah does exceptional work in all aspects of planning your trip. From start to finish, she is there to assist in anyway possible. She actually checked out on me throughout my trip to ensure I was having a great time and to see if I needed any assistance.

I have already referred Cruise Planners to my relatives and friends and she definitely will be contacted for future trips whether big or small!

Having ground transportation awaiting us at each place was wonderful. That hugely reduces the stress of travel.
Of the hotels we stayed at, the Wilderness Lodge at Arthur's Pass was our absolute favorite. Our spa room there was the nicest hotel room we have ever stayed in.

We wanted to do a family getaway vacation before Christmas because all the kids could actually go. We do not travel much so we had lots of questions. Deborah answered all our questions and set up an itinerary that fit everything we were looking to do and enjoy. The trip went just as she had planned without any issues and we had a great time. We will definitely use her for our vacation scheduling in the future!

This Viking Cruise was our first cruise of any type. Deborah has been by our side from the beginning, like 3 years ago, pre-Covid, beginning. She kept us in the loop with all the rescheduling that occurred due to uncontrollable Covid constraints. She was very forthcoming with promotions and discounts as they were made available by Viking and was a huge help in recommending upgrades that would utilize promotions to the fullest.
I would definitely recommend Deborah and Cruise Planners for your vacation getaway planning.

We didn’t know where to start in planning our family vacation. I reached out to Deborah for a recommendation. She listened to what we were considering and shared her thoughts and experiences. Deborah is so knowledgeable and organized for us exactly the vacation that we were hoping for. She is professional, approachable, and incredibly responsive. I highly recommend Deborah’s travel services and we will enjoy working with her again in the future.

Our trip was wonderful! The cruise offered 5-star quality lunches and dinners. The programs and guides were very good. The cabin was as expected (small) and the decor was a little tired but we were very pleased. I’d rather have great food, wine, and guides than a fancy cabin or ship.
The first week on land was enjoyable too as we visited Barcelona, Madrid, and Toledo. En route to Seville, we stopped by Merida which has a number of Roman ruins.
Deb, we deeply appreciate your patience and expertise for two years' worth of booking and canceling our cruise. You’ll be highly recommended!

Deborah Shah, our travel planner, was amazing! She planned for us to have a beautifully intimate wedding in Las Vegas. She suggested and organized the chapel experience (which was wonderful)! She also suggested a variety of shows and things to do in Vegas. We stayed at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and had a weekend that neither one of us will forget. Thanks, Deb!!

Deb has helped me with 2 trips to Europe in the past 2 years and was wonderful to work with. My mother has MS and Deb helped us plan an incredible and memorable trip that was perfect in every way. The 2nd trip happened to fall right in the middle of the transportation strike in France and Deb was on top of every update and stayed in touch with us before, during and after the trip.

A belated thanks to Deborah Shah for not only sourcing a fabulous business class fare for me during peak summer travel Europe on Air France-- which was to Milan, with a 3 night stop-over and return from Paris -- but also for her ability to quickly resolve a major airline error that could have resulted in thousands more to my trip. Less than 24-hours prior to my departure I was repeatedly denied check-in and when I called the airline, I was advised my return ticket had been entirely cancelled! I was trying to remain calm but panicking and reached Deborah on a Sunday morning, who assured me she had an email thread confirming that a change my itinerary made earlier would not affect the ticket in any way. She remained calm and connected to me in Paris with updates the entire day until she confirmed all was resolved! That level of access to a trusted travel advisor and excellent customer service trumps the great fare and I will continue to work with Deborah and her agency on my future trips. Many thanks again for all.

Deb did a FABULOUS job of planning our excursion to Costa Rica! Because I was traveling with my 15 year old son, I needed a good mix of family friendly resorts and adventures that would appeal to him. We had a wonderful time and the transitions and travel in the country were seamless. I especially appreciated how much she listened to our needs and was willing to do some extra legwork to research places that had been suggested to me. Can't wait for our next trip!
