Honest Planning
Jeannie is very prompt and honest with her clients. Any time I have a question or am looking for advice about traveling, Jeannie lets me know what is feasible and what would be the best course of action to take within the scope of what I'm looking to do. She provides options that allow you to choose what's best for your family rather than just one plan for traveling and takes the time to explain how each option is different but meets your needs. I definitely value Jeannie's opinion and will continue to use her in the future.

Best Travel Professional Ever!
Best Travel Professional we have ever worked with! We previously used a travel agent and moved to doing our own planning after she left the industry. We are retired and had multiple bookings on a variety of cruise lines that were canceled as a result of the Pandemic. We realized we needed help navigating the changing landscape and fortunately for us we found Jeannie! She has been exceptional. We moved multiple bookings to Jeannie and she worked magic in getting us rescheduled, in many cases getting us upgrades and reduced fares, as well as pointing out and securing reservations for much better cabin locations. She always keeps us well informed and continuously looks out for our best interests. We couldn't be more pleased with Jeannie and her stellar service. She is a true professional and we will be her customers for life! We most enthusiastically recommend Jeannie!

Excellent customer service. Our cruise was canceled due to the Covid 19, Jeannie handled everything to confirm we received our full FCC. She even offered to speak with my husband so he would be so nervous about taking a future cruise. We have already booked another cruise with Jeannie for November 2020, whereas Jeannie sat on the phone with Royal for over an hour making last minute changes and getting us upgraded to a balcony suite. I have worked with several travel agents for past trips and I can only say I truly appreciate Jeannie professionalism and her desire to make her clients happy. THANK YOU JEANNIE

An advocate on your side.
Jeannie always looks out for her customers right through the trip. Definitely does NOT book you then forget you. She has often advocated for us with the travel provider to improve our room, connections, or flights; all on her own without our request. She just wants the best possible for her customers. Also provides great insight on excursion possibilities.

The Rhine Viking River Cruise
<br/>Our experiences have all been great, she was thorough in her travel arrangements and did her best to obtain accommodations that suited our needs. On one of our Viking River cruises, on the Rhine river from Switzerland to Amsterdam, I told Jeannie that we did not want to go north up the Rhine, we would prefer to go down the Rhine. She said: No, you do not want to go that way, the Rhine originates in Switzerland and flows down to Amsterdam, where it empties into the North Sea. You don't want to be going against the current, the engines would need to operate at higher RPM and their would be more noise.

I was on an around the world voyage doing a Semester at Sea when the covid-19 virus hit. Jeannie had made my original flight home reservation from Amsterdam, and then had to deal with several changes as dates and locations changed. The voyage was cancelled in South Africa and within 5 days there were three changes to make. I had VERY limited internet access so I depended on Jeannie and she was there at every turn of events. And, she handled all the refunds and other issues as well. It was a stressful time and I was thankful to be able to count on Jeannie. She's the best!

Jeannie was recommended to me by a friend who has used her for several trips in the past. We were scheduled to go on a Viking Long boat cruise in April, which was cancelled due to the Covid-19. Jeannie is handling everything for us regarding credits from the cancelled trip, including the airline credit to go towards a future trip. Jeannie set up our trip to the Netherlands and handle everything expertly and very professionally. She gave us tips on side trips, how and what to pack and walked us through many questions we had due to not traveling for several years. We were so looking forward to this trip, everything was in place, we we comfortable and confident with our plans and and ready to go until Covid-19. Because we are planning a trip in May 2021 with these friends on a Viking Cruise Ship, Jeannie is seeing that our credit from the cancelled trip is applied to the 2021 trip. We can't be happier with Jeannie and highly recommend her to help you on future trips in the future.

A Wonderful Trip & Experience
We wanted to plan our first River Cruise but all the information online was so confusing that we decided to turn to a travel agent for help. I found Jeannie and began a correspondence with her. By asking us the right questions regarding our preferences and giving us advice we couldn’t have found elsewhere, Jeannie planned a trip and coordinated the cruise, airfare, and a pre-cruise hotel that were all first class. It was a wonderful experience working with her and we will surely seek her out the next time we decide to travel to an unfamiliar destination.

She's the reason my vacations are stress free.
Jeannie is dedicated and willing to do whatever you need to make your planning easy. When our final destination was changed due to a hurricane, I text Jeannie and within an hour she had flights, transfers, and credits issued for 4 of us from our new location. She made it as easy for me as a text message to her and she got it done. She takes all my stress away and every trip planned by her has been the best vacation ever. She explains everything clearly and because I have her planning everything, I'm confident that no matter what happens during my vacation, it will be stress free for me. Shes been planning my vacations for 6 years now and I've never had a problem with any of my plans. Except the hurricane and she rectified my new destination with ease. I will never have another vacation planner. Jeannie is the greatest!!

Travel Partners
We've worked with Jeannie for a number of years now and the people who recommended her to us still use her as well. She has been a good partner in planning our travel on land and sea. Numerous times, we've asked for recommendations and she has unfailingly given excellent advice. We trust her implicitly. We normally have her book trips one or two years ahead for us, e.g., we have three booked for 2018 including Newfoundland. We appreciate that she works closely with us, responds to all our communications promptly. If we notice a change in schedule, price, etc. of an already booked trip and ask her about it, Jeannie researches to see how it affects us or if we can take advantage of it. We are extremely happy that she was recommended to us and we have recommended her to friends and family who are now on board. She's helped us travel the Mediterranean, Australia and New Zealand, Iceland, the Caribbean, Alaska, and Canada.

A single cruiser with someone in her corner!
This past summer (2019) was my first time trying to arrange a cruise: Jeannie was wonderful! I planned to travel by myself and I've never done that. she answered all my questions (with total patience), both on the phone and through email. I always felt like someone was in my corner. I am considering another cruise and will be consulting her about that and asking her to, once again, be my travel arranger and guide.

"Live your Best Life" on every cruise
Very friendly and helpful. When our cruise got canceled in 2020 she made sure we got our money back in a timely manner while 2 other couples ventured out on their own took over 2 months to get their refund. A relative decided to go with another travel agent on a Hawaiian cruise this year I decided to check with Jeannie and she gave me a much deal sabing about $400 a person. Most recently trying to book a Mediterranean ctuise in 2024 I pick a month and she that wasn't a good time to go because of the heat and crowd so I switch another month.

Jeannie has made any trip scheduled through her painless and care free. Jeannie has coordinated two river cruises through France for us as well as one to an ocean cruise to Bermuda. We are currently working with her on 3 cruises in 2022, to include a World Cruise. Because of the high quality service that we personally enjoy in working with Jeannie I recommended her to coordinate a reunion cruise for the Navy Nurse Corps Association for 2022. The reunion committee felt that Jeannie provided an impressive presentation and continues to be responsive to this large group. <br/> My most memorable experience with Jeannie at the helm was when my husband and I had a very sudden change of plans for Christmas and needed to come up with a cruise that would get us to Budapest by the day after.....we contacted Jeannie in late November for a December trip....and she made it happen, truly exceeding expectations with a Christmas Market cruise that we will never forget. <br/><br/>

Cruise With Jeannie!
Jeannie has been a terrific travel agent for us. She has always been efficient, easy to work with, dependable, detailed and honest from the initial planning stages to the final outcome of an adventure. We have been with her since 2008 when we booked a circumnavigation cruise around South America. She has taken care of many other cruises and tours for us since then, including a Regent World Cruise. We have confidently recommended her to our family and many friends. Jeannie is a Super Agent!

Amazing communication. Ask Jeannie anything and she knows what would be good and not so good ideas. She knows given the availability where to go on the ship and she does what she can to make every person comfortable in their booking experience.

Just show up and have fun! Jeannie does the rest!
I would be baffled by all of the intricacies of travel planning. I know that Jeannie gets all of the best deals available and all of the things I might not have even thought of, like the all important trip insurance. <br/>It is a great feeling in this world of automated everything to have a real person I can contact who will treat me like a real person as well. With Jeannie, you are never just an account number! <br/>I e-mail Jeannie with either my chosen destination or sometimes my time period available and she lets me know what my choices are. <br/>Because she knows my preferences, she guides me to the best deal for me. <br/>One time I needed a quick get-away - like the next week - and she found a ship with the type of stateroom I like and the whole process was done in a couple of days. Yay!<br/>It's hard to fill in the destination box: My husband and I have visited so many wonderful places that we might not have chosen if left to our own devices.

Successful group travel under trying circumstances
Just completed a cruise with 67 members, most of the very old. I know some of them tried her patience (and mine!). It was a difficult situation but the end product was successful.

Best Travel Agent Around
Jeannie has been our travel agent for over 15 years. She is great. Communicates well, provide quotes quickly. Provides the best deals for when we are looking to go with the dates. She was on top of a cruise we had scheduled this year but was cancelled. We rebooked and she got us a better cabin and more options. I would NEVER travel without using Jeannie.<br/><br/>She is absolutely the best and you will not go wrong in booking your travel plans with her.<br/><br/>Great job Jeannie!!!

Hurricane Hero
When our cruise got detoured due to a hurricane, I emailed Jeanne as we didn't know what to do. She had changed our flights from San Juan to the new port of Miami. She had everything done and emailed me back in less than 45 minutes. She is the best part of my vacation. I swear she never sleeps.

The Ony Cruse Agent for Us
Our first experience with Jeannie Lipphard took place nearly 20 years ago when I needed an agent in booking a cruise. We had used another agent previously who had retired. We found Jeannie through the web. Although I was leery in locating a new agent sight unseen, I felt more than confident once we made contact by her knowledge, friendliness and professionalism.<br/><br/>She is a true pro who is proactive and delivers results beyond your expectations. Her all-encompassing vision of linking the right ship at the right price to meet the client’s need is truly innovative. She is detailed oriented, always communicates with a gentle touch, is never intrusive and a delight to work with. One could never be disappointed in using her cruise and travel services.<br/><br/>I believe we have booked over 20 cruises booked by Jeannie over the years and that certainly shows staying power of a great client and agent relationship.<br/> <br/>

Hassle Free Vacations
Jeannie is our go to travel agent when booking a cruise. We have used her for at least the last 8 years. She helps to make our cruises hassle free. I can be very particular when it comes to my vacations and Jeannie takes care of all of my concerns and makes my requested changes. She always gets back to me right away. Couldn't imagine booking with anyone else.

| 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. |
