TRAIN vs PLANE?

Have you ever thought about traveling by rail versus a plane? We've heard from a lot of clients that they're apprehensive to fly, so they can't go far, take a cruise to Alaska, see national parks, and more.

Believe it or not, rail can be an option to get you further than you think by traveling comfortably on a train versus in a plane.

Trains have coach seats, but they also have something called sleepers your own room with beds that pull down, your own bathroom, and even provide food and beverage service as part of packages. They can take you into National parks, take you from coast-to-coast, and can be combined with stays in popular destinations all across our beautiful country. You can even take an Alaska cruise or tour from the east coast of the US.

We can find you a train tour locally, or going to a distant place. Let us know where you'd like to travel.

Travel is an investment in yourself... It is one thing you can buy to make you richer. Cherish those moments now as this is not a rehearsal.

Do you get nervous when you travel? The big delays/cancellations from last week make you take a step back and so OH MY. Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you have a back-out plan in case your drive does not pick you up, flight is delayed or cancelled, or your itinerary is changed due to weather or something else?

2. Do you have phone numbers of all vendors? This includes transportation companies, airlines, cruise lines, US Embassies, hotels, etc?

3. Who do you call in the event of an EMERGENCY?

How do WE help you when you book with us?

Depending on your travel plans, we can setup your entire itinerary with all the pertinent information in our APP that is installed on your phone. Our travel software will monitor your flights and make you aware of any changes, modifications, etc. We partner with, work with, and only recommend the best vendors and suppliers out there and make sure they’ll will take care of you and your family. We check prices through an exclusive monitoring software that will allow us to give you the best value and provide upgrades when available.

This is great news! Carnival is announcing new ships, adding fun to lives, and also considering our environment by reducing green house gasses.

19/07/2024

Our systems are up and operational with no impact from today's events. All of our reservation systems are up and online, including cruise ships, all-inclusive resorts, hotels, excursion systems, and flight reservations.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted today, including travel. For those that don't know, there was a global cyber security glitch which caused a bunch of cancellations of flights, issues with dispatch from warehouses, problems in the medical system, retail issues, and more.

Believe it or not, we don't have any clients with travel delays (as of yet), but we will continue to monitor travel of our clients as we always do in case there are changes to their itineraries.

Safe and happy travels everyone!

Did you know that some cruise ships have Go Karts at sea? They have single cars for those who want to race against friends, but they also have doubles for those that want to take their little ones on. Our little ones are 3 and 5 and they both were able to ride with an adult.

This picture was taken while on the Encore of the Seas as it was departing Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska.

What?!? Who would've thought this was even possible...

31/05/2024

Ahhhh. Alaska!

Ever wonder what it feels like to relax during Glacier Bay National Park? Watching ice float by with Eagles perched on them, glaciers surrounding you, waterfalls falling from high up, and wildlife throughout the entire experience. YES, please! These pictures were taken on our Alaska cruise mid-May of 2024.

Whale Watching tour in Juneau, Alaska? Yes please! Top it off with a Salmon bake and roasting marshmallows on an open fire. If you need a shore excursion company that will make sure you get into the action - let us know.. we were there in mid-May.

What does Alaska look like at around 430AM from a cruise ship when it is "at sea". Something like this... sometimes clear and sunny, sometimes rainy. Pro tip: make sure those black-out curtains in your room work if you're not an early person.

Anyone wonder what it's like to travel to Alaska in April or May? It could be rainy, it could be sunny. Here is a picture of the Norwegian Cruise Line Encore ship in Juneau, Alaska LIVE right now.

Going on an Alaska Cruise? How do I pack and not take too much?

Packing for an Alaska cruise can be challenging, especially with airline baggage fees, weight restriction, and the changing weather conditions that can occur at any given time. Alaska is one of the most breathtaking and surreal destinations in North America that provides the opportunity to see whales, bear, eagles, and glaciers while being outdoors in the action or remain in a heated space on the cruise ship. Depending on the time of season you travel (May – September), the temperatures could range from 40F – almost 80F. Over the years, we’ve compiled a list of must-haves to pack for your trip to Alaska.

To see more details, visit our page for suggestions of what to purchase before you go.

We are in the Holiday travel season. Here are some great tips to do before you're traveling in the air.

1. Invest in CLEAR or TSA Pre-Check - this will save you a ton of time at the airport. I hear stories from clients on how long the lines are into our country, or just in a standard airport (Think Disney - Orlando Airport... ).

2. Pack healthy snacks - especially if traveling with little kids.

3. Organize your backpack.

4. Charge your electronic devices and download movies, ebooks, or other stuff to do on the plane.

5. Bring an empty bottle for water or use a reusable cup (think Yeti) - most airports have filtered filling stations.

To see more, click the attached article. What are some of the things you do before or during your flight?

These top 10 tips for flying will help you move through the airport with ease, stay comfortable on your flight, and arrive feeling rested.

We have exciting news to share - Central Florida Cruises is now Hope Travel!

In 2024, to celebrate our 15th year anniversary we wanted to change the direction of the company, and change our name and rebrand as a result. We are announcing this before the New Year so everyone can become familiar with our new name and contact information.

Hope Travel is a non-profit organization which will provide back to local and distant communities. Proceeds will be allocated to foundations and organizations such as Children Cancer Research, Veterans, Animals, and more. We’ve always had a dream about being able to give back more and years later, here we are!

We are very excited to announce our new name “Hope Travel”, along with our new branding.

All travel can be booked either at www.hopetravel.org or you can call us directly at 484-866-9500. By booking with us, you can help give back to your local community or setup a charity group for a cause.
