Susan's Great Escapes

Susan's Great Escapes Travel Advisor with Upon a Star Travel & Concierge. Helping you travel to world-wide destinations! Travel is my full-time job!
(1)

After 25 years as a military spouse, I now live in Virginia with my family. Since 2013, I have been helping clients plan all kinds of vacations: Disney destinations, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Universal Studios, guided tours, and travel all over the world! My goal is to create a concierge experience for my clients that meets their individual requests, budgets, and vacation style. Each person

and family's travel goals are unique and their travel experiences should be, too! This is not a hobby or a side-gig for me. I love building long-standing relationships with my clients working with them repeatedly over the years, watching their families grow and change. I've traveled to 30 countries, cruised more than 20 times on a variety of cruise lines, visited many all-inclusive resorts, and racked up thousands in airline miles! I want to share my knowledge and experience with my clients by providing excellent customer service, detailed itineraries, and creating the best vacation experience possible.

I just love Epcot at the holidays! I always enjoy the Candlelight Processional, but I think Living with Land decked out in holiday lights may be my favorite. ❤️

It is not too late to visit this year or let’s start planning for next year! [email protected]

This is my friend and fellow travel advisor Charlotte with Upon A Star Travel & Concierge. No, she’s not actually petting a polar bear, BUT she is highlighting cruises that visit the Arctic 🐻‍❄️ regions as well as the Antarctic, Greenland, and other unique ice destinations. ❄️

Did you know that expedition cruising is the hottest trend in the cruise industry? (Hottest! Ha!) Small expedition ships that hold 100-400 people max depending on location are exploring the Galapagos, the Kimberley area of Australia, the Arctic and Antarctic regions and more. You can see unique wildlife up close, explore the area in zodiacs with 10 people—not thousands, plant tree saplings in Galapagos, and meet with naturalists and/or researchers onboard. 🐢

Think these are just for the older generation? Some are but plenty of small ship lines cater to millennials and to families as well! This is the ultimate in an educational vacation and adventure travel!

I’d love to talk to you about an expedition cruise. [email protected]

Charlotte with Upon A Star Travel & Concierge and I had a great opportunity to tour the Celebrity Reflection yesterday. No, we didn’t get to sail on it (and sadly they frown on stowaways), but I got a full tour top to bottom and saw many different stateroom types, all the public areas, had lunch in the main dining room, and then visited the buffet for some ice cream! 🍨

I’m hoping to share more photos in the next few days, but this is a lovely ship. While not brand new, it has gorgeous dining venues, lovely staterooms, a great adult only solarium, and it currently sails some stunning Caribbean itineraries out of Fort Lauderdale.

I wouldn’t hesitate to cruise on this ship!
