Luxury, World Cruise & Expedition Cruise Expert

I am a World Cruise consultant and expedition cruising expert with a deep background in various aspects of travel. I have been with Cruise Specialists for nearly two decades.

I work with a wide variety of luxury and premium cruise lines. As part of my ongoing education and efforts to provide recommendations for my clients, I have sailed on the following cruise lines:

Silversea
Seabourn
Regent Seven Seas Cruises®

I also recently cruised with Lindblad/National Geographic on board their vessel, National Geographic Venture. Expedition cruising is an entirely different mode of travel than traditional ocean cruising, and it’s ideal for someone who is looking for an enriching and educational way of exploring a certain part of the world. You can read more in my profile on Expedition Cruising.

My travels have brought me to Japan, Singapore, India, England, France, Ireland, Scotland, French Polynesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and the Maldives — along with closer-to-home destinations such as Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean. These varied travel experiences enable me to handle all aspects of your cruise travel and I will strive to make your entire experience — from reservations through the time you return home — seamless and easy. I have a proven track record of exceptional customer service and satisfaction.

As a Cruise Consultant with Cruise Specialists, I have the support of an incredibly strong and experienced team that helps me respond quickly to any need you may have. I strive to be at your side and advocate for you when needed.

In summary, my experience enables me to anticipate and handle all the little things that make for a perfect cruise vacation, no matter what the length. This attention to detail and the quality of service I provide is one of the primary reasons my clients come back time and time again! I eagerly await the opportunity to hear from you and learn more about your travel wishes.

World Cruise Expert

World Cruising is one of my primary areas of expertise. Cruising around the world is a commitment of time and money, and I will not only save you money, but I will go above and beyond to answer any questions you may have.
Choosing the right cruise line and itinerary for your World Cruise are two of the biggest factors that go into reserving a World Cruise, and beyond that there are many other considerations that I can walk you through. It starts with a simple email or phone call to me, and over time, I get to know your personality and preferences. This personal relationship ensures that beyond the first cruise I reserve for you, I’ll be even more attuned to how I can help you in the future.
When it comes to reserving a World Cruise, there is no better place than my agency: Cruise Specialists. With us, you receive the best pricing available and access to our popular hosted World Cruise program — now more than 30 years strong at Holland America Line, and also available on the 2024 Oceania Cruises World Cruise and the 2024 Princess Cruises World Cruise.
We also offer hosted cruise programs on hundreds of other cruises throughout the year on several cruise lines. This benefit gives you greater value in your cruise vacation than you would have on your own. Additionally, for any cruise, I can arrange your pre and post-cruise hotel stays, any transfers you desire, and much more. This is all made easier by having the backing of Cruise Specialists.

Joe is knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. In the travel planning process, he coordinates well with other Cruise Specialist staff as needed.

Char - Canada

Joe was great to work with on this trip. Very organized and made sure we understood each step. Answered all my questions and concerns professionally. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an advisor.

Ho Wan - Mediterranean

Joe is very knowledge about the cruise industry. He is always helpful and professional.

Edgar - Mediterranean

Great He is always very helpful. Joe is careful to make sure everything is correct. He has a great personality.

Judy - Panama Canal

Joe Lucero is practically always available by phone. If he's not in when I call, he returns my calls promptly or there is someone else present who can help me. He remembers who I am from year to year and usually remembers my travel preferences. He is very careful to make sure everything is booked to our specifications and that we understand the costs. He checks with us before making any alternative bookings. On our last cruise, he knew we were traveling in Spain before embarking on our cruise. He successfully got a message to us in Barcelona of a last minute change in the place to meet our cruise ship and asked us to let him know that we got his message in time. Joe is always enjoyable to talk to and I feel that he cares about our vacation and appreciates our return business.

Leonard - Mediterranean

Joe provided us with great guidance as we were rookie river cruises. All information was provided in a timely and complete manner

Saige - Danube

oe was very professional and knowledgeable. He would follow up on each of my requests and everything happened as he predicted. He was very helpful in helping me rebook a better flight after the carrier cancelled my flight and offered me a totally unacceptable alternative to replace the flight they had abruptly and unexpected cancelled.

Zena - Scandinavia

Joe was very helpfull in getting cruise, hotel and air arrangements in place

Kaylin - Australia

He is a travel advisor with quick response and thorough follow through. Reliable.

Wendy - Alaska

Confusing to say the least Unavailability by phone even when we had phone appointments several times

Loretta - Greece

Joe Lucero has us guided and giving us advise on numerous cruises we have taken. He is very knowledgeable, professional and wonderful to work with! He always gives us great advise about our travel, different cruiselines, visa requirements, hotelstays before and after the cruise and never stirred us wrong! He will send reminders whenever a deadline moves close to the date and he will tell you that he is always there for you!

Anna - World Cruise

Very good; Joe is always very professional, prompt and responsive, answers questions thoughtfully and does his best to get us what we want. We would highly recommend Joe to anyone!

Lesley - South Pacific

I knew what trip I wanted when I contacted the web page. Joe set me up with a great room and booked the trip for me. I had no problems and the trip was the best ever.

Angelina - Trans-Atlantic

Joe was helpful, informative and efficient.

Imre - Mediterranean

Joe is very Professional and experience with the Cruise industry is very helpful.

Shauna - South Pacific

We have been working with Joe for 6 to 7 years, he has always been there to advise and to run inference with our cruise lines. He is very responsive and most of the time takes less than a day to respond to our queries. We are Regent snobs and it is always easier to deal with one knowledgeable individual than a host of Regent representatives. These are only some of the reasons Joe will always be our Advisor.

Joesph - Mediterranean

Joe took care of us from start to finish. The entire process could not have been more pleasant. We will use Joe again.

Vesta - Tahiti

Joe is excellent to work with! Great customer service!!!

JW - World Cruise

Great. He was very knowledgeable and patient. He made sure everything was in order. Also, he was concerned about saving me money.

Maureen - Panama Canal

The whole experience was maybe not as personalized as I might wish, but Joe did help make our recent cruise experience logistically smooth. We started off with Joe, thinking we’d do a river Cruise in Portugal - but he helped us get good rooms on the very different OCEAN cruise... which it turns out was a better fit for the 4 of us. His “welcome gift” was also very welcome!!

Delmor - Trans-Atlantic

He was very helpful and answered all of my questions. He responded quickly to email and phone messages.

Gloria - Trans-Atlantic

Joe Lucero has always done everything perfect for us. We have worked with him since 2012.

Constance - Greece

This booking was made by a previous TA. Joe did contact CUNARD to order a shower chair and distilled water. I found no fault with Joe's actions.

Jean - World Cruise

We have worked with Joe Lucero for many years. We cannot overstate the value and help he has been to us, in researching, choosing, and booking many cruises of varying lengths. Joe has a vast knowledge of cruise lines, cruise ships, and cruise itineraries all of which he happily shares with us. He is ever diligent in responding to our every telephone call and email. He always deals with us in a timely, straightforward and honest fashion. I am convinced that the prices he quotes to us are the best that can be found. We give Joe Lucero our highest praise and would recommend him to anyone who is thinking of a cruise, and who wishes to receive the best service available.

Charlene - Scandinavia

He is excellent: efficient, polite, sensitive to our preferences.

Jeanette - Mediterranean

We highly recommend Joe for your travel needs!

Marsha - Alaska

Even though we lived 3 time zones apart I never was unable to contact or get a return call from Joe or one of hid associates. I would definitely use Joe again. He was a great resource for me concerning a great trip and cruise.

Michelle - Panama Canal

Everything that Joe promised was delivered and we had a fantastic trip. We booked our next cruise while onboard and will be having that reservation transferred to Joe as well. In fact, I will be booking all future cruises through Joe.

Cara - Europe

Joe is a professional who is very knowledgeable about the Travel Industry. He offers suggestions when needed and gives great service. All information was provided in a timely and complete manner.

Elizabeth-Lynn - Caribbean

Joe has always taken good care of my needs. He responds quickly to my phone calls.

Rodney - World Cruise

With the addition of the Moana Program for our grandson the coordination of our activities with his presented us with opportunities for creativity. Joe rose to the challenge, was patient and understanding with us and put together the trip of a lifetime! Throughout the planning cycle Joe shared his personal experiences aboard the Paul Gauguin which aided in our preparations and shaped our expectations. Because of Joe this was truly the best cruise we have ever taken and will provide a lifetime of memories for our grandson.

Sheldon - Tahiti

Started working with Joe over 11 years ago!

Ruth - Japan

Joe was always prompt in responding to my questions.

Letha - Panama Canal

We've used Joe as our cruise rep for many years. Usually ocean cruises with Oceania. This was our first river cruise. Many moving parts and special requests which Joe handled beautifully, especially air arrangements coordinated with another couple. Recommend Joe wholeheartedly.

Lynda - Caribbean

The views were breathtaking and the ship experience was enjoyable.

Connieth - Alaska | USA

Joe enables us to receive the many benefits of booking with Cruise Specialists. He is always positive and will get back to us on our questions. As a client, it helps if you do research on your own as you hear and understand Joe's suggestions and comments that otherwise might not make as much sense. On this cruise, Joe helped us get our AARP obc of $200 that would have not been applied witthout his help.
