River cruising is one of the most beautiful ways to explore a country. While ocean cruising sails you to countries, river cruising sails you through countries. There are many different river cruise lines, each with its own strengths and features.
My role as your travel advisor is to guide you through the different river cruise lines to determine what river, time of year, and cruise line is best for you. I create curated, custom packages so that you can experience as much (or as little) as you want.
My goal is to elevate your travel experience so that you can explore the world safely and easily. Discovering hidden gems and local delicacies, elevating your experiences to sublime.
River cruising is my passion and I love helping travelers discover this amazing type of travel. I have personal connections with multiple river cruise lines and I work hard to match you with the right river cruise line that suits you.
Travel planning has never been more complex. Rules are changing constantly, and requirements are very fluid. I take that stress out of travel planning so you can simply relax and enjoy every moment of the journey.
Now is the best time to start planning your upcoming river cruise. Reach out today to start dreaming.

Bucket List Trip
She makes the whole process very easy and gives options for your trip. The idea came and within a few hours we had pricing and options to make a quick decision. She came up with a list of activities that gave us some options on what to do in the city. Before the trip we sat together and went through all the documentation to make sure there were no questions. We had an issue with the airline coming home and Alicia made sure to check in with the airlines and made the trip home as comfortable as possible by getting us into an executive lounge to rest comfortably on our layover. She would check in with the airlines to make sure all the arrangements were correct so we wouldn't get any more surprises. Will not travel without an agent on our side.

Best trip ever!
Working with Alicia was fantastic! She was always 2 steps ahead of me and had dotted every I and crossed every T before I even thought of it. The experience was so great that we referred our friends to her prior to even taking the trip. While we were on our trip she checked in on us to make sure everything was going well and to inform us of any minor changes that we needed to know. Hands down we will contact Alicia again for our future trips!

Alicia is a wonder to work with. We have used her twice for trips to New Zealand and found her to be very thorough in her research given the outlines we gave her. She was especially helpful getting my husband and son back home in the middle of the Covid pandemic.

Wonderful Destination Wedding
Alicia was very helpful and always quick to reply to emails. She organized an excursion for our trip before we had even left home to a cave tour and rum distillery. She did a great job organizing all the different cities people were flying out of to come to the destination wedding. It was a wonderful trip away. Loved it all. Our hotel was Bahia Principe Esmeralda. It was beautiful and well cared for. The employees were all very friendly and tried to remember our names. The only person who wasn't friendly was the agent with Air Transat at the hotel. He was not impressed that my daughter and I had booked an excursion from home instead of with him. So the next 2 excursions we took we booked with someone else at the hotel who was happy to get our business. We had a great day going to Santo Domingo and another on a Catamaran snorkeling.

Never going without!
I'm this 'New Normal' I would NEVER travel without a travel agent and Alicia is AMAZING. We booked in on a cruise from Amsterdam to St Petersburg and we would have been lost without her. She clearly laid out restrictions and expectations for each port (Covid related) along with keeping us prepared for the trip there and back. <br/><br/>Pre Covid I rarely utilized a travel agent. Now that I have found Alicia I am never going back! I am sailing worry free.<br/>

She Makes The Whole Thing Easy
Alicia provides amazing service, great prices, and really takes the pain out of most travel! She's attentive, and always available to assist when we have issues. I don't know why anyone would try to book things themselves to be honest, she makes the whole thing easy!

Unsure if you need Alicia? You do!
I have never utilized a travel agent because I am typically proficient booking complex trips on my own. I used Alicia to book a river cruise for my husband and I’s honeymoon because I saw online that she specializes in them and I have no experience with them. I am so glad that I did. She really was so helpful, informative and went above and beyond to make it a smooth experience for us. She alerted us to a change in embarkation port that I may not have seen on my own until last minute. She also provided us with all of the necessary documents electronically and physically and a travel guide for the area we were going to, which was very nice. She is very knowledgeable about river cruises and helped us pick the best fit for us and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent and am so relieved we used her services for our trip.

When Joel & I decided that Ireland was top of our list for his retirement trip, we were unsure on the where when’s and how’s of our trip. We have had Alicia guide us on other trips in the past and knew she was who we needed to lead us in the direction we needed to fulfill our needs. From day one, she gave us multiple choices to decide from and once we picked our trip she was more than helpful in making it come to fruition. She is simply fantastic!

She can also help with other travel plans if as well went for a week to Corsica at the beginning of our cruise and then spent some time in Nuremberg and Munich at the end.

Planning the trip of a lifetime!
Alicia is the best! We knew we wanted to do a European river cruise but we didn't know when or exactly where we wanted to go. Working with Alicia was awesome. She helped us with every aspect of the planning from picking the cruise line, selecting the cabin category, airport/hotel/cruise transfers, booking flights, as well as pre and post cruise activities and all the little things that might have been overlooked had we been planning on our own. We absolutely can't recommend Alicia highly enough and we're definitely looking forward to working with her again sometime.

We have worked with Alicia several times over the years past 5 years.<br/>Her planning and attention to detail s top notch.<br/><br/>HMMM a something I just thought of or forget to ask…. Check the itinerary prepared by Alicia and the information is usually there or with a quick reference identified to follow up.. Definate stress reducer. We found her recommendations as to who what where and when we wanted t o see and do based on her initial interview with us to be bang on in terms of planning and executing to provide the best experience possible for our holiday times. <br/>Most stressful part of the trip was worrying about the airlines cancelling or delaying the flights. Once we departed the plane devised by Alicia kicked into gear and it was easy sailing and fun times for the rest of the holiday<br/>A hotel 2 minutes from the Trevi Fountain in Rome .

Trip of a life time
On behalf of both of us I would like to thank Alicia Mitchell for her professionalism in organizing a trip of a life time to celebrate our 47 years of marriage. She is very dedicated and detail orientated. Once the cruise and name of the adventure was identified, Alicia provided within 24 hours the quote as well as options available. Alicia booked our hotels in Amsterdam and Budapest, private transfers in both cities and secured ticket to the Anne Frank House. Prior to our departure, contact was made and she covered every single detail of our trip. We can’t thank Alicia enough for all she has done to make this trip unforgettable.

Alicia Saves the Day!
Alicia is truly remarkable at making any trip completely seamless and stress free. When our flight out of Edmonton was cancelled due to cold weather which made us miss our connecting (once a week) flight to Kauai she instantly took control and turned a bad situation into a positive experience. She looked after every detail. She secured seats for us on a flight the next day to Honolulu and then arranged inter island flights to get us to Kauai after we enjoyed spending the night on Waikiki Beach in a hotel (booked by Alicia) with the most amazing view of the beach and Diamond Head. We would have been totally lost in this situation without Alicia!! She is the BEST!

Amazing Service
I have now booked 3 trips with Alicia and found her to always be very helpful, flexible and overall great at what she does. Her suggestions for services I wouldn't have thought of like a private transfer to/from the airport make the trip that much better. I really appreciate the knowledge and experience she brings to the table. It was particularly helpful when my flight was cancelled and rebooked the night before by the airline as she made sure everything was taken care of with my airport transfer. It took the worry off of me and made the trip that much more smooth. I would definitely recommend booking a trip with Alicia!

Another Excellent Trip Completed
We recently returned from Huatulco Mexico. Alicia has booked several trips for us now. When you leave the planning to her you know that it will be a worry free vacation. I really appreciate our zoom meetings the week before departure. She goes over all the details of your trip. This is especially helpful when visiting a new location. And it is nice to know that she is just an email , or phone call away if you have any trouble. Personally we have never had any issues during our travel. We would not book a trip without Alicia’s expertise. We highly recommend her, and have passed along her name to friends & family.

The information she provided was clear and easy to follow- we didn't have any trouble finding out tour guides and meeting places. The TravelJoy program she used to communicate with us was easy to use. We'll definitely use Alicia's services again.

Alicia helped me plan a memorable trip to the Dominican Republic in February 2023. My trip was as smooth as possible. I enjoyed the field excursion for horse swim and at monkey island. The resort Bahaia Aquamarine was beautiful and by the beach. So it was a very fun-filled trip for me. This is the third trip Alicia has planned for me and they are all 5-star ratings from me. Keep the wonderful, friendly, and detailed attitude Alicia!!!

Westjet Nov 5 Fiasco
So WJ had a major computer failure on Nov 5 … stranding people around the world. We were lucky our flight never left YEG after 2 delays and boarding the aircraft. Alicia spent in excess of 20 hours on the phone with WJ trying get us ti Cancun with no luck. WJ finally did a complete cancel after 48 hours and ssid they could not accommodate us at all. Alicia ensured we got prompt and full ticket refunds and registered us for the $1000 compensation as called for in the CDN pass. Rights legislation. It will likely be a fight with WJ on that one, but at least Alicia get us our ticket refunds asap.

Amazing trip, cut short and managed so well!
One of the best ways to judge a person is how they manage themselves in a crisis and boy did we have a crisis. On our trip to Barcelona Alicia made sure we had all the information we needed for our trip but of course none of this prepared us for the Covid-19 outbreak and the urgent need to leave Spain. There were 6 people in our trip, 3 couples, each had booked through a different method. 1 booked on their own, the other a different agent, and us through Alicia. Before things even became critical in Spain Alicia was in contact with us keeping us aware of what was going on and how things were escalating. When it became obvious it was time to leave Alicia calmly made all the arrangements for our changed flights and even knew of a perfect hotel for our layover in Amsterdam (a place we loved so much that we cannot wait to go back to). While we were relaxed knowing everything was taken care of the others faced being just a number in a queue. I would highly recommend Alicia!

It was once again an absolutely wonderful experience working with Alicia. She thinks of everything and is so efficient as well as friendly and accommodating. The trip was so well planned and went off without a single ripple. The hotels we stayed in on either end of the River Cruise were awesome and the private guides she found for us both in Prague and Budapest were amazing. I can not thank Alicia enough for making our second River Cruise vacation as excellent as the first one she planned for us last year.

Best Trip adviser make vacation a huge success!
The planning and attention to detail from the start was very impressive. I felt at ease with Alicia handling my dream vacation. Then on the day of the trip we had some heavy fog roll in and my departure was cancelled. Feeling very stressed and quite concerned that the wait for the fog to lift so we can make our connecting flight wouldn't make it. So I called Alicia for help. Best move ever! She was on the problem and worked with us to secure an alternate transport. She saved the day!<br/>Also, when it came time to deal with my insurance company for the travel issues, Alicia was right there to help out with the process. Totally above and beyond service. I will be using her services again and I have told several of my family and friends to do the same.

Alicia is a terrific travel agent. I usually book my own travel but having Alicia look after our travel details for a family destination wedding was a bonus. The information we received was timely, informative and well organized. The costs were very competitive! She provided valuable insights into the destination, airline and airports. <br/><br/>Whenever I contacted her with a question she got back to me quickly with the information I was looking for.<br/><br/>More than this -- she was personable and very easy to talk with.<br/><br/>We would highly recommend Alicia to take care of your travel needs.

Everything was as planned and worked out great. She even helped us with a few minor non-trip planning details while we were on vacation via cell phone. We especially liked the options to pick from which created unique lodgings that were reasonably priced and enhanced our experience.

Family Destination Wedding
From the very beginning of our bookings with Alicia, she always made herself available for any questions or comments. <br/>Our party of 33 persons for a destination Wedding, coming from different provinces was no problem for Alicia! <br/>The itinerary she gave us, a week before we flew was an excellent preparation to make sure everything was in order.<br/>The resort was fabulous, and every detail was covered! <br/>Well done Alicia! We will certainly be using you in the future!

Working with Alicia was fantastic! She was always 2 steps ah...ead of me and had dotted every I and crossed every T before I even thought of it. The experience was so great that we referred our friends to her prior to even taking the trip. While we were on our trip she checked in on us to make sure everything was going well and to inform us of any minor changes that we needed to know. Hands down we will contact Alicia again for our future trips! Read More

| 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. |
