Experience the Magic of Europe’s Rhine River
Imagine soaking in a rooftop pool or relaxing in a jacuzzi aboard a luxury river cruise ship, all while indulging in exquisite cuisine and delicious cocktails. It’s tempting to never leave the ship! Yet, the true heart of a river cruise lies in the adventures that await ashore — breathtaking stops rich in history, romance, and culture. A Rhine River cruise offers a journey through some of Europe’s most iconic and charming destinations, paired perfectly with on-board comfort and wellness amenities.
Why Choose a River Cruise on the Rhine?
With many incredible river cruise options available today, travelers can choose an itinerary that fits their budget, taste, and sense of adventure. Whether you’re drawn to the majestic landscapes of Switzerland, the romantic charm of France, the rich traditions of Germany, or the vibrant culture of the Netherlands, there’s a Rhine cruise that promises your dream vacation.
Here’s what you can expect to discover on a Rhine River cruise:
Switzerland: Alpine Beauty and Cultural Harmony
Many Rhine cruises begin or end in Basel, Switzerland’s cultural gem resting where Swiss, French, and German borders meet. Basel is famous for its impressive array of museums and a lively market square nestled along the Rhine’s banks. Dining alfresco here offers a unique blend of these neighboring cultures.
For those wanting more Swiss charm, add visits to Lucerne and Zurich. Lucerne enchants visitors with its historic bridges, cafes, and delightful chocolate shops, while Zurich perfectly balances medieval roots with modern flair — from fine dining and historic sites to quick train rides that whisk you to nearby Alpine peaks.
France: Indulge in Wine, Cuisine, and Timeless Charm
The Alsace region’s jewel, Strasbourg, invites you to explore picturesque old town streets, renowned wine cellars, and serene parks. Sip local wines like Riesling and enjoy French classics such as onion soup or croque monsieur.
Strasbourg also dazzles with its extraordinary shops and year-round Christmas markets, where mulled wine adds warmth to festive strolls. Whether you bike through tranquil parks or unwind in charming cafes, France offers a feast for the senses.
Germany: Medieval Roots and Dynamic Culture
The Rhine’s German towns reveal a blend of tradition and vibrant life. Rüdesheim, famed for Riesling vineyards, enchants with cobblestone streets, castle views, and unique excursions like the Siegfried’s Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum or a cable car ride to the Niederwald Monument.
Contrasting with Rüdesheim’s intimacy is the bustling city of Cologne, home to the stunning Gothic cathedral with its twin towers, colorful houses, lively Christmas markets, and cultural tours. Here you can explore historic landmarks, sample Kölsch beer, or enjoy a scenic bike ride through the city.
The Netherlands: Canals, Culture, and Creativity
Your Rhine cruise may conclude in Amsterdam, a city celebrated for its canal network, spirited neighborhoods like Jordaan, and world-famous sites such as the Anne Frank House and Westerkerk Cathedral.
The Dutch are known for their warmth and friendliness, making you feel instantly welcomed. Local delicacies like bitterballen (crispy meatballs) and stroopwafels (warm caramel waffles) satisfy your palate after a day of sightseeing.
Amsterdam’s quirky shops and artistic displays—from tulip-themed galleries to uniquely imaginative boutiques—provide endless entertainment and surprises around every corner.
Let’s Plan Your Dream Rhine River Adventure
With a luxury river cruise, you’ll enjoy not just luxurious comfort aboard the ship but also tailored shore excursions that connect you deeply with each destination’s culture and history. Whether it’s biking through sunlit vineyards, walking cobblestone streets steeped in centuries of stories, or savouring local flavours paired with breathtaking views, your trip will be unforgettable.
Curious which itinerary suits your travel style? Contact me today, and I’ll help you find the perfect river cruise — be it a romantic escape, a fun family adventure, or an enriching group journey.

Val was amazing to work with. Her detailed travel documents, recommendations and instructions were amazing. She puts a lot of time into preparing information for her clients and it was appreciated. She was always very reachable which was great as I had so many questions travelling for the first time since the pandemic. All the new restrictions and requirements were all laid out for us in one spot thanks to Val. Will for sure be booking a trip with her again.

We have used Val for our last 4 travel experiences, all which have been amazing. Val is very organized and she emails you very detailed step by step instructions as to what you need to do to be ready for your trip. She is always quick to respond to emails even last minute when I have a question or need purchase insurance. I will continue to book our excursions with Val as she is professional, organized, quick to respond and a wealth of knowledge.

Incredible Experience!
We had not been on an internation trip in 10 years and Val made it a complete sucess for us. She gave us informed and honest feedback with all of our questions regarding the type of resort as well as conherent and fast reponses to all of our questions before, during, and after the trip. We went to the Playa Del Carmen area near Tulum and we had the best time. The resort we chose through her suggestions was outstanding and we have no complaints whatsoever. She helped us stay informed during a dicey time politically in Mexico and gave us the confidence we needed that should anything become unceratin, that she had the our backs and could help us get to where we needed to be. That being said, there were no safety concerns or feelings of uncertainty during our stay in Mexico.

So helpful!
Val was so helpful in finding my friend’s and I the perfect trip to Mexico. With 6 adults and 7 kids in our group, we had a lot of specific needs and requests. Val was so patient as we changed our requests multiple times in the process of planning and in the end landed on a great resort, within our budget, that met everybody’s needs and requests. We had a great time on our holiday! Thank you Val!

Val is the MOST amazing travel agent ever!
We had an incredible experience working with our travel agent to plan a group trip to Mexico for three families with young kids. She truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. With different ages, preferences, and needs across our families, there were plenty of requests and questions—but she was endlessly patient and thoughtful throughout the entire process.
She was relentless in finding the perfect resort for our group, and it turned out to be the best vacation we’ve had yet. Her communication was impressively fast, and we always felt supported and informed. We especially loved how she organized everything in her fantastic travel app, which made keeping track of plans and details so easy.
Thanks to her hard work and organization, our trip was seamless and unforgettable. We will definitely be using her again for our next vacation and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip!

Mexico all inclusive stay
Tho I have no other experience with an all inclusive resort I found the staff to be friendly and fun while I practiced my Spanish language skills with them and learned new vocabulary. At the dinners the servers were so fun and helpful when it came to suggestions. I even eat the chocolate grasshopper.
What I would have liked to have know before going to the resort was the barcelo fb page. I learned a lot from the feed. I definitely recommend the adult resort as we had more space and we had chairs available for everyone whether it be at the pool or at the beach. We also had the best beach no rocks only rocks in the water. The quieter setting was so relaxing. Having the freedom to explore the other 5 resorts and play at the casino shop at the mall made the stay feel a little adventurous while staying at one resort.

The best trip
Working with Val from start to finish was truly a wonderful experience. She helped us arrange our destination wedding trip for my fiancé, myself, and our family and friends, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
From the very beginning, Val was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly informative about locations and resorts. She guided all of us through the paperwork, visas, and every detail in between with patience and expertise. Her organization and support made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and seamless.
Without Val’s knowledge and assistance, our wedding and vacation would not have gone as smoothly as they did. She played such an important role in making our special day absolutely magical.
Thank you, Val, for everything! ??????

Val Burnett arranged all of our travel arrangements, tours and was so awesome to work with. We would love to work with Val again for another journey!

Great Large Family Trip
Val was great, professional, approachable and efficient. We were a group of five families, 15 in total. We initially were booked in Jamaica until the hurricane. Val was successfull in getting us rebooked to a great family resort in Punta Cana. She was always available and did more for us than any agent I have ever worked with. We will definitely use her again and refer her to friends and family.

Val knows it all!!
We have been using Val for well over 5 years now and she is very thorough, and knows so much about what we like and dislike. She travels so much herself that she knows so much about pretty much every resort in Mexico. She books all our private transfers as well. Will continue to use her for her professional services and personal touch and expertise!

Exceptional beyond expectations
We can’t say enough great things about Val. We have used her services for years and plan to continue doing so for many years to come. From the very beginning, every trip has been handled seamlessly and professionally, making the entire process completely stress-free.
Val is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and always quick to answer questions or offer helpful advice. The resort she recommended for this trip was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations once again — she truly understands what we’re looking for and consistently delivers unforgettable travel experiences.
Knowing that everything is so well organized allows us to fully relax and enjoy our vacations without worrying about a single detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Val to anyone looking for expert guidance, outstanding service, and a travel agent they can trust for years to come.

Diligent work ethic
Val thinks of everything. She understood before we did that we would have a long day of travel and she prebooked us dinner reservations. Val took time with me while on her own vacation to ensure my flights were correct and corresponded with my travel companions. She provides a detailed itinerary through Trip Plans app to have all critical items available in one spot. This includes how shuttles will work, reminders and of course airline tickets and hotel information etc.

A travel agent who cares!
Val organize and gave precise information for the whole trip with constant follow up. All aspects of a trip were done with the most professionalism I’ve seen. From booking transfers, tours, lodging, and cars. She was on top of everything constantly keeping us informed. The only thing on this trip we had to think about was having a good time. Val took care of everything else.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Val.
Definitely looking forward to using your services again very soon

Tahiti, French Polynesia. Our most amazing vacation yet.
Travelling to Tahiti, French Polynesia and embarking on a 7 day Windstar Cruise was truly amazing. The smaller but still lavishly outfitted cruise ship is the only way to go. Crew members aboard the ship developed very personal connections with the passengers. All the excursions really did allow everyone to touch, feel, and see the local cultures. I can see another Windstar Cruise happening.

Flights were good, hotels were picked with great locations, private transfers, numerous tours were all booked. We had contact with in country experts with almost daily reminders of itinerary. Our trip was complex, well planned and well documented to ensure we had a stress free trip. Val is very thorough and knowledgeable.

Rocky Mountaineer and Vancouver highlights
Val did an awesome job of putting together the details of a 65th birthday celebration trip for us aboard the Rocky Mountaineer as well as a couple of days in Vancouver. She gathered all of the details needed as it related to our interests, the timeline we had and how we wanted to organize our days in Vancouver. This is the first time I have used an agent to organize one of our trips - I have always put together the details of our travel plans in the past and so was a little nervous about just letting go of this. I had no reason to worry - Val did an excellent job of choosing perfect excursions and putting an itinerary together that was very well organized! She loaded our trip onto Trip Plans, which we had never used before, where our documents and details were accessible - it was so useful. I would not hesitate to use her services again as I have the utmost of confidence in her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Val 3 times now and every time my vacations have been smooth and amazing. This year with the Air Canada strike looming, Val contacted me to inform me and helped me navigate the whole process. We had the most amazing time and my 10-year old son smiled from ear to ear all day/every day! That was all I needed to enjoy myself on this vacation. I know I could have booked this myself online or whatnot but I enjoy the piece of mind of using Val's expertise and knowledge and will 100% continue to book my vacations through her!

I really found the travel app quite handy, it was nice to have everything in one location so thank you for that. We would definitely book though you again, no questions asked. Thanks again

Our trip was excellent!
Everything went very smoothly and we were quite pleased with the resort. It met or exceeded all expectations. The family room was perfect and very spacious. I think we ended up with the best room in the resort location wise! The resort offered excellent activities, food options were good, staff were very friendly. We commented numerous times that we felt we were getting very good value out of our trip. I have already recommended it to another family. I don’t think there was even one “bad” to this trip that could be improved on or that I would like to have been aware of before choosing this resort or location. Thanks again.

Japan Was Great
Japan - loved everything we saw. Had a great guide. Did not struggle with the activity level. We both acknowledge that it was easier to navigate in Japan with a guide, no question about that. The itinerary was very good except for the volcano at Lake Hakone - not super interesting but all else was great. Love staying at the monastery, loved Kyoto etc. So all good.

The best planned short road trip I’ve ever taken
Val was a wonderful discovery for me because it was just a random connection on the Internet. And it proved to be very very fruitful. I have already recommended Val to several friends who are hoping to travel in Canada soon the trip suggestions and arrangements she made for us were absolutely by following her recommendations and based on her experience, she made reservations in the two most heavily trafficked attractions the Columbia ice fields and a boat rate dried on the lake. All the other suggested locations we stopped at were on Val‘s itinerary. The hotel accommodations were all great and there were no mixups whatsoever And the next time I take a trip to Canada I’m gonna talk to Val.

The first time I called Val to talk about possible travel ideas, she mentioned a trip she had coming up to Peru with 10 women, of which she was one.

Val was not leading our tour, but she was always open to answering any questions I had about what was happening or up next.

I used Val for the first time for parts of my three month vacation in Asia. I don't normally use a travel agent, but I may reconsider now as Val provided services I wouldn't get by booking on my own. She was thorough and very responsive and provided everything I needed for my trip, specifically the international airfare and the tour in Borneo. Thanks for everything Val!

Great Trip with Val's Help
Ours was a 7 Day Western Caribbean Cruise --- Val works hard to find alternatives to one's needs, offering options. Her experience finding winning vacations to meet client needs is evident. No seemingly pettier trivial question is ignored, all being quickly answered. It is most unlikely that we will look to any other agent for our travel needs.

This is the second trip Val has booked for us and once again everything was great. We gave her a list of must haves for a resort and she hit everyone of them.

Amazing adventures in Belize
Our trip to Belize was amazing thanks to the efforts and attention to every detail done by Val at Wanderlust. We had to just show up and enjoy our vacation as Val made sure everything was in place for our trip to run smoothly..and it did. She is a pleasure to deal with and was always available to answer questions or concerns. Val had our best interests always at the forefront and did everything in her power to make our trip unforgettable. ??

Belize g adventures
Val did an amazing job providing all the details for our trip including the tour and our time post tour. She was very available for any questions that I had. I should have taken more time to review all the information she gave, and in a very well organized manner. There was a lot of information and advice there. I wish I had known about the constant need for tipping for this trip. It felt like a bit of a cash hemmorage. That and the US $ rate, but that can't be helped.

We were 21 persons total. Val took care of the bookings from 4 different locations in Canada.
Everything went smoothly and we all enjoyed our stay immensely.
Thank you Val! We appreciated your giving us detailed emails with step by step procedures for the government taxes etc. in Mexico.
Great job!

A few years ago as we were heading on our first intrip out of Covid, I found Val on this website. She was from AB and had several good reviews so we went with her. She helped us out in a terrible situation, where we learned exactly why you want a travel agent. Since then, we have used Val and haven’t been disappointed in doing so. We recommend her to everyone looking for a travel agent. Our latest trip to Belize was great. Thanks so much to Val for all of her hard work.

Amazing family trip.
Fight was great, once landed as expected and well informed of other venders try to sell you nuisance.
Our driver to the resort was on time and pleasant. Checking into the hotel HARD ROCK MAYAN was fast and refreshing, by giving us guest rewards to activities. My family and I loved the resort. Absolutely no complaints and our vacation was unforgettable.
A little alarming when it was time to get a hold of our drive back to the airport. Hard to contact the company’s personnel. And everyone in the front outside lobby “valet” personal acted like they had no idea of our bus or the schedule. But got it all sorted and luckily the bus was waiting for us.

With a ten year hiatus from travelling we were pretty rusty in all the ins and outs of booking a family holiday. Val helped us pick out a beautiful resort, answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we were ready to go. Highly recommend her for your next trip booking.

Sisters trip to Mahekal Beach Resort, Playa Del Ca
We contacted Val for some suggestions for our trip. We knew which side of the country we wanted to be on, other than that we knew what we wanted, but had no idea how to find what would check our boxes. After two conversations Val had a couple of suggestions, one of which nailed it!!!! Everything was seamless and went smoothly.The resort itself is beautiful! The grounds are stunning and there are so many pathways to explore. It's right on the beach and also within easy walking distance to some really cool shopping areas. The staff were absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. There were only two restaurants, but the food was great! The menu at the buffet changed frequently so we felt we had lots of variety. There are four pool/ beach bars so plenty of places to get a margarita or a Pina colada! And service on the beach was great. This is a family friendly resort with 24 hour security which I would highly recommend.

Super wonderful vacation
We had a super wonderful vacation. The resort was nice, nothing crazy but clean and nice. The food was delicious at all of the restaurants and they had plenty to choose from. The resort was very secure and super chill. Other than the lack of an amazing beach, it was perfect and easily good for adults and kids alike. Thank you for everything you did for us, it was perfect.

A much needed vacation...
A much needed vacation in a beautiful resort ! Seriously though.. What a beautiful spot !! The rooms were super spacious & I swear every room on that resort has at least somewhat of an ocean view. We originally had plans to do some excursions but we were more than comfortable to relaxing around the resort for the week, having some good food, drinking some good drinks ??. Staff were all super fun & made you want to hang around !
Entry & exit was really easy. All the information you sent had us more than prepared for sure. Thanks for following up & setting everything up for us - We both had a blast ?? !

Hard Rock
Our trip was great despite the few hiccups of delays out of Kelowna, delayed luggage, but... The hard rock was excellent. We enjoyed the many pools. We’d pick a different one each day. Our room - Islander Jr suite with 2kings was perfect for our family of 4. I’m so glad we waited for that! The Hard Rock had the the best food I’ve ever had at an all inclusive. Everything was so fresh. Kids enjoyed the waterpark, mini golf, arcades etc. I really don’t think there was anything that could have been improved on. All in all it was a huge success! Thank you for everything!!! Can’t wait til next time!

Fantastic vacation
We LOVED Huatulco! The resort itself, Secrets, was fantastic. The rooms are in three separate buildings, all built into the side of a hill, all facing the ocean, so they all have the same stunning view. The drinks flowed freely and we had fantastic service! The food was great and service was better! The beach is quite steep, but the view is phenomenal! They hung a Happy Anniversary banner on our door the first day or so, and we got pampered the whole time we were there with rose petals or other flowers arranged on the bed most days. All-in-all, it was a fantastic vacation.

Our Wedding
I would like to say that one of the most memorable parts of our destination wedding was having YOU! It was so nice to have someone there to help coordinate everyone and keep everything on track and organized for the guests! Also thank you very much for the gift, it was super thoughtful and a nice little touch to our special day! My maid of honor opened it for me on the wedding day while we were in the room gathering things I needed to get ready in her room , and if I had opened it myself I think I would have probably cried (I was very emotional all day - haha). Thank you again so much for everything!!

She was also easy to contact while we were away and attentive to issues/concerns. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Val and hope to work with her again in the future!

She said no problem I will get back to you on Tuesday. This was a Friday and she did get back to me and planned my vacation seamlessly. I really appreciated her help and not once did she say well it’s late. It’s short notice. I’m not sure. As all the others kept saying to me.

Another Stress-Free Dream Vacation
From the beginning, from starting with enquiring about our destination desires, to providing us with options, ie: cruise ships, all inclusive adults only resorts, recommendations to different resorts; she's been there through it all. Even though she was on holidays herself, she still kept in touch via text and email, asking if there was anything she could do to improve our vacation. She even gave us tips on how to get around our resort easier, and provided us with new drink suggestions. Throughout it all, she went above and beyond.

We recently planned a vow renewal in Mexico for our group of 30ppl coming from multiple locations.

We opted for RIU Dunamar in Costa Mujeres and there was something there to suit everyone! <br/>Val was very thorough booking our trip, making sure everyone had all the info they needed before departure from checking on passport requirements to offering packing lists. She also provided info on our destination (places to shop, restaurants to eat at and places to see) with options for excursions as well. <br/>Val checked in with us once we arrived in Mexico and is actually still in communication with us as we continue to sort out some Sunwing issues. <br/>All in all Val was wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend her! <br/>Thanks for making our family celebration so memorable Val!

The resort was great and we enjoyed all the amenities and restaurants. I would highly recommend getting Star Class because you get special treatment and reservation privileges at the restaurants. Otherwise you will be waiting 1+ hours for dinner. Can’t wait to book with Val again for our next vacation!!

We just returned from 1 week holiday to Punta Cana. Val helped us with booking this trip and she coordinated it with our friends trip as well. She was very helpful throughout the hotel booking process and was able to utilize her contacts to arrange our desired room category that was not initially available. Prior to travel she provided an amazing app that contained all our necessary documents, information and links required for the journey. The start of our trip became a bit complicated as there were weather delays but she was in contact with us throughout that entire time. It was so reassuring to know she was available to help if necessary. <br/>She gave us lots of great advice and tips before and during the vacation. I can’t wait to utilize her expertise again and I’ve already recommended her to many of my friends!

It feels like she follows our flights until we arrive safely in destination and back. Travel (especially now) can have hiccups and bumps with airlines, etc. Knowing that Val is there for us is a relief. While she sat on the phone for hours re-arranging our flights and accommodations, we went to the beach. Using a travel agent is a wonderful resource to have and Val is the best.

Val was the first time using a travel agent for booking a trip. I will never go on another trip without using her again. She planned for a group of 20 of us for a wedding destination. It was an amazing resort she suggested. <br/>She was very prompt with replies if I had any questions at all as there is always some from a group.<br/>We had a couple people from our group that had to deplane due to being sick on the way home.We contacted her quite late at night and she took care of looking to get the couple home the next day. I was even more impressed. I highly recommend her.

Val Burnett of Wanderlust Getaway Travel Agency has gone above and beyond for us, talked me out of the rafters when it felt like my world was falling apart when we encountered one problem after another. She was the voice of reason when our flight was cancelled and we had no idea what to do or where to turn next. She was there for us through all our ups and downs of this vacation, whether it was cancelled flights from snow storms, or leaky rooms from rain storms...she's been there to help us through whatever Mother Nature was throwing our way!

Very fun trip. Would do this again
There were a couple issues with cancelations from friends who couldn't make the trip out. Val did her best to accommodate the people who still went, providing ways to get the lowest price for her travelers. Val was very communicative and easy going which made the planning portion of the trip really easy!

Glad we found Val Burnett for our travel needs.
In the last couple of years we have been fortunate to have Val handle 4 trips for us. She proved to be exceptional in getting us a wonderful experience at a reasonable cost. However, the true measure of customer service is not when things go smoothly., it is when there are problems. Our last two trips, one to Europe and the Mediterranean and the second to Mazatlan had to be cancelled. The first due to the death of an immediate family member on the second day of our trip, the the second due to Covid-19. Val was truly amazing! She was available 24/7, and handled everything for us in a very efficient way. I should mention that the cancellation of our Mazatland trip by Sun Wing, meant Val did not get her commission for all the work she did arranging the trip, then handling all the headaches associated with the cancellation. Of all the travel agents we have used over the years, Val Burnett is by far and above the best ever! We will not use anyone else now.
Totally a Fan of Val Burnett

Always a wonderful experience!
Val has gone above and beyond to make sure our holidays have been the best experiences we could ask for. 2019 - In Mexico she booked us into the most fabulous villa you have ever seen; 2020 - in San Juan, she arranged for early check-in for us so that we had somewhere to call home when we arrived at 7:00 am. She was always there for us, every step of the way.

Excellent
Val was very eager to assist our family with all our travel needs and provided us with other travel ideas for our trip . Val checked up to ensure we had a good trip after we returned. <br/>I have recommended Val’s service to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Working with Val was a pleasure. Val was very open and prompt with communications while planning our getaway. She made herself available during our trip, even though she was enjoying some leisure time of her own at the time. While it wasn't the most elaborate or exotic trip in the world, we were made to feel like our trip and its success was important. Everything worked out as planned and many smiles were had by all travellers. Thank you Val!

Val was great! She was quick to respond and communicate. She also knew a lot about the different resorts we were looking at which helped us narrow down our choices. The elecgronic app/itinerary She sent was super helpful. Will most definitely use Val again!!

Totally relaxed!
Val was very knowledgeable about the area I was going to visit, giving tips and ideas on what to do and how to go about things, Always on call if I had any problems (only one or two minor, but sorted quickly) The itinerary was "first class", never had one quite like it before, it included everything from flight timings, transfers to resorts and between resorts, trips planned, if restaurants needed prebooking, daily trips and updated travel rules, especially covid related as they are changing quite often, even letting you know the best place for testing, if needed. <br/>There was nothing left "in doubt", everything was covered, I didn't have to worry about anything except decide what I wanted to eat lol, never had such a stress free holiday, totally needed!

Family Vacation to Playa del Carmen
We recently worked with Val for our family vacation to Playa del Carmen and she was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly informative, took care of every little detail, made sure that all of our concerns were addressed, and was available whenever we needed to make adjustments. We have worked with other travel agents in the past but after working with Val, she will now be our forever agent. Thank you Val for making our vacation experience so wonderful!

Great Agent before, during and after trip.
Val was very thorough researching cruises, accommodations, activities to do while in Barcelona. She is very knowledgeable about cruises, cabin location, deals, upgrades and pre-purchases that are worthwhile. She arranges accommodations that are proven, locations and activities that are perfect. She was available by messaging late at night and very early in the morning to handle any issues. I felt Val really cared that we had a great holiday and was there for us throughout our trip.

Val is the best of the best, We just couldn’t ask for a better travel advisor. She does a great job getting us into the right resort and is on top of the whole process from start to finish. I would even think of going anywhere else for our vacation needs.

Fantastic Xmas in Mexico
Val was simply fantastic! Her biggest assets are her passion for what she does (which is helping people have the vacation they always wanted) and her experience. Val knows all the ins and outs of booking vacations and is very quick to offer up tips and tricks all learned from her own experience. I am a frequent traveler but in booking a Mexico trip there was probably 5-7 things I would not have thought of. Val has it all covered. The information she sends you is all first rate. Very clear, concise, and professional. I can’t say enough about the good work Val does. What is also impressive is she is very easy to get a hold of (even late at night) if you have questions. She also follows-up to see how it all went. Highly recommend working with Val Burnett.

Best travel agent ever!
In the last couple of years we have booked 4 trips with Val Burnett. She proved to be exceptional at finding us the best holidays at reasonable prices. But.... the true measure of customer service is not when everything goes well, it is how your agent handles everything when something goes wrong.<br/>Our last two trips had to be cancelled. The first was due to the death of an immediate family member on our second day of a European holiday then a Mediterranean cruise, and the second to Mazatlan was due to Covid-19. Val was amazing! She was available 24/7, and handled everything for us with such calm efficiency. I should mention that Val lost her commission for all her work before and after the cancellation due to Covid-19, yet she worked tirelessly on our behalf. Of all our travel agents over the years, Val Burnett is by far and above, the best ever! We will not use anyone else for our travel needs now.
A very happy client.

Making travel plans simple
Working with Val made everything so easy and streamlined. Have a problem? Talk to Val it will be cleared up in no time. Have a question about anything at all? Talk to Val if she doesn't already know the answer she will get it asap. Want a suggestion on an excursion or where to eat or almost anything? Talk to Val. A complete fountain of knowledge. What I'm trying to say is any trip I take from this day forward will be handled by this awesome company and especially this awesome lady.

Couldn't Get Better!
Val goes the extra mile and with her, there is no scrambling and travel stress! We were able to rely on her. There were a number of times during our travel, where something went wrong (i.e. flight cancelations, delays, no hotels available) but Val sorted it ALL out. The resort was stunning with amazing food, service and fishing! Perfect selection of rooms, the whole family was next to one another. Val was such a pleasure to work with, we highly recommend her exceptional service!

No price could ever replace service like this
I never thought a travel agent could save us so much money and when we really needed her with our vacation, she was right there. I could not imagine the cost and stress that Val saved us. Before our trip started we had a family emergency and could not start on time with our previous schedule. Val took control and just let us know what our new itinerary and flight schedules were. There is no price tag to that kind of service.

| What can you expect on an all-inclusive expedition with HX? Your all-inclusive includes... - Breakfast, lunch and dinner, every day With a huge range of options, you can indulge in nearly anything your appetite desires. Start the day with an impressive buffet breakfast before moving on to a mouth-watering menu of a la carte later in the day. Of course, that includes house wine and beer and soft drinks. - Sauna, hot tubs and more Make some time to relax in your ship's onboard sauna and hot tubs - they really make returning from the day's adventures that much more rewarding. - Delicious coffee, tea, and soft drinks all day Choose from a variety of hot and cold drinks, from a caffeine boost in the morning to a sugar rush after lunch. Refill stations for your OceanBottle are located throughout the ship, keeping you hydrated without using any single-use plastics. - All-inclusive drinks Enjoy a glass of wine or beer at the Pool Bar before dinner. Or unwind in the evening with a cocktail in the Explorer Lounge. Whatever you're in the mood for and whenever you like, drinks are available throughout the day and evening at no additional cost (excluding premium drinks). - Gratuities included Fantastic service is standard at HX Expeditions, and they'll never add discretionary charges onto your bill. If you'd like to leave something extra, it's always appreciated. - Daily expeditions and activities Handpicked experts from a range of fields will lead you on discoveries each day, whether on shore or on board. Join the Expedition Team on hikes, community visits, and small boar trips before heading back to the ship and hearing fascinating talks in the lecture hall, as well as your briefing on the next day's schedule. Optional premium activities like kayaking are available for an extra fee, depending on the destination. - Expedition gear and water bottle, yours to take home All guests receive a polar expedition jacket, a backpack, or another piece of HX eploration kit for the area you're exploring. And as the first cruise brand to ban single use plastics, all guests receive a complimentary water bottle to refill on board and take home. - Professional photos of your trip from onboard photographer Every expedition is the trip of a lifetime, and HX has a professional onboard photographer on each ship who'll capture stunning images from your voyage. You will receive these as a beautiful digital album after you've returned home as part of your HX Expedition Logbook. - Wi-Fi at no extra cost HX Expeditions offers Starlink Wi-Fi on all of their ships. Be aware that they often sail in remote areas with limited connection and streaming isn't supported. - Full access to the HX Science Center Often described by guests as "the heart of an HX ship", the interactive science program is like nothing you'll find elsewhere. Join the onboard scientists, hear from experts, collect samples, and get involved in the citizen science projects. Spot something new with fellow birders or spend time studying what you find under the microscope. |
