Our agency owner Dana Daza was quoted in a Cruise Critic article! Dana has been a long time fan of Windstar cruises and sails on them frequently. Contact us to book your own special sailing [email protected]

Here is the excerpt and link to article:

Windstar, for instance, touts its Destination Discovery Events as unique, curated experiences that complement their itineraries. In Tahiti, the cruise line hosts a private Motu dinner featuring traditional Polynesian dishes, live music and fire dancing. And in the Greek Isles, passengers can attend an elegant dinner with cocktails and orchestral music set against the illuminated ruins of Ephesus.
“Windstar’s dinner at Ephesus always helps close a sale,” says Dana Daza, a travel advisor with Warren Place Travel, a Virtuoso agency. “It’s a life experience travelers want to have.”
Daza describes her experience at the Windstar dinner at Ephesus in May: “Magical is the best word to describe the evening. Soft lighting on the ancient ruins, chamber music playing softly in the background. It was surreal.”

Many luxury and small ship lines tout special events as part of their cruise. Do these evenings add to the cruise appeal? We investigate on Azamara and their AzAmazing Evening in Colombia.

Beautiful sunset at the Waldorf Astoria Cancun. Loved the ocean front views from my suite at the Waldorf Cancun. Conrad Tulum’s private beach and private bay was primo.
Food was excellent at both resorts. Friendly service was impressive. Two luxury resorts worth experiencing.
Thank you to the Conrad Tulum and Waldorf Astoria for hosting me.

When dreams come true...!
Conrad Bora Bora Nui in French Polynesia.
🏝 It is the only property that has elevation in the destination (views from the spa are amazing!)
🏝 It is the only property that does not have a view of another property making it feel secluded and luxurious.
🏝Picturesque pool and lush tropical landscapes

Another Windstar experience, transiting the Corinth Canal.
Not common cruise ship pass through the Canal because the ships are too big. Locals lined the bridge and hills to watch the transit. Thank you Windstar!
