What travelers are saying

"We booked a National Geographic expedition Holland and Belgium by River. The promotional literature promised a 14-day deposit refund window. The “invoice” was marked “non-refundable” deposit. We completed the National Geographic Traveler Information. About 8 days later we received the “Travel Agreement” to be signed. We both approved and signed the National Geographic documents. A Cruise Line Travel agreement was enclosed but had no signature line. This document contained language which was unacceptable. We submitted the signed NatGeo documents. The following day we canceled the trip due to the unacceptable Cruise Line language. Cancellation was made 12 days after booking and no deposit was returned. We were told on the phone that the refund deadline was triggered by the 14 day window OR signatures on the Travel Agreement which ever came first. This was NEW information. To date, we have received NO refund of our $1000. We cancelled our trip within the advertised 14 day window."

What travelers are saying

"We particularly wanted to do this trip because of the abundance of wildlife we expected to encounter and selected this ship because they offered the kayaking experience. Overall, the weather was very good. Most people seemed like minded and were there for the adventurous experience. Accommodations Review They upgraded our cabin and we were very pleased with the amount of space and the amenities in the room. We appreciated the twin windows and being able to see humpbacks diving from our cabin. It was kept very clean and it was a treat to have our bed turned down with chocolates on the pillow each night. Meals Review We liked the variety and the quality of the food. There was always something new to try. The dining room staff was very professional and personable. Crew & Guides Review Solon was our Principal Trip Leader. He was incredibly professional and it seemed like he was constantly working to maximize the encounters with wildlife and scenery, taking advantage of all the weather opportunities and going to places that they don't often go. He worked very closely with the captain who was very accommodating and caring about us having a memorable voyage. Aymie and Andrew were our kayak guides. We went out to kayak 10 different times and were able to get to know both of them well. They worked hard to keep us safe and well informed. They made sure that we didn't miss out on any land excursions. We've had quite a few kayak guides over the years that we've paddled and we loved these two. Marla was the marine biologist aboard the ship. She was very enthusiastic and had a passion for marine mammals that was infectious. We loved listening to her presentations and looked forward to hearing her voice on the PA saying that there was another whale sighting. Colin, the geologist aboard the ship, was very knowledgeable and able to make difficult subjects understandable to the passengers. Itinerary Review The trip far, far, far, far, far, far exceeded our expectations. I had one "far" in the sentence when we left South Georgia Island after seeing 250,000 King Penguins at St. Andrews Point and added the second when we saw blue whales on two different days. The third "far" was added when we saw hundreds of whales for 6 hours along the iceberg, A68a. I added another "far" when we kayaked for over an hour with humpbacks all around and another "far" when minke whales were all around the kayaks the next day. The last "far" was added the day we didn't paddle since a leopard seal was all around the kayaks and then an orca came close. We had so many incredible experiences that we could never experience all of them in the same trip again. The guides told us that the close encounters that we had didn't happen very often and that we were very lucky that they all happened on our trip. The only thing that we didn't like was portions of the Drake Passage when it was a tad rough, but that experience gives us something to talk about. Transportation Review We made our transportation arrangements through another travel agency. Traveler Advice Make sure that you take sea sickness meds. Take advantage of every opportunity to see wildlife."

"UnCruise is an amazing dream!! The crew, the sales team, the office team, all go out of their way to make sure your experience is unforgettable. We were on the August 1, 2020 cruise.

Luxury Travel Tour Selection Trips

  • Luxury travel doesn’t have to mean lounging travel. Many luxury trips include active elements, such as skiing. 
  • A ‘label’ doesn’t always equate to a good experience. In fact going on a luxury tour usually means you’re staying in hidden treasures, rather than large luxury chains.
  • Be aware of what’s included. Many luxury tours, and especially cruises, are all inclusive, but not all.

Additional details

Luxury tours help travelers see the world in great comfort, often in private groups and with a dedicated guide. Luxury travel experiences are sometimes the preferred style for visiting more far flung destinations, where the contrast is extreme.

Yet having guaranteed luxury accommodations, and guides to help with getting around, actually make discovering the nuances of exotic cultures more accessible to a wider range of travelers.

5 Top Luxury Travel Experiences

1. Safari - A luxury safari is one of the most quintessential travel experiences. This is one kind of experience where the price tag really does dictate the kind of Africa you see. On a luxury safari, you’ll be treated to private game drives with experienced guides dedicated to making sure you see as much wildlife as possible.

Enjoy spectacular dining - like a white tablecloth lunch on the savannah, and veranda dinners. Accommodations that provide unique views of the African landscape as you enjoy a cocktail on your private balcony.

2. Rainforest Lodge - The rainforest offers experiences for travelers of all stripes, including luxury minded travelers. Imagine staying in an eco-lodge surrounded by lush jungle greenery - the bright colors of tropical birds peeking out within arms length.

Their calls and chirps acting as the only alarm clock you’ll need, and providing a soundtrack for your day. Or perhaps you’ll visit a floating tree house for a night or two, enjoying life above the canopy - watching monkeys dash about the branches.

3. Digital Detox / Wellness retreat - Wellness travel and digital detoxing are becoming very popular themes for travelers, particularly millennials. The digital world is getting harder and harder to break away from so the hefty price tag of these trips seems every more worth it.

They are an investment in one's mental health after all - a way to plug back in to nature and slow down with mediation, focus on health and nutrition, and exercise. If you are the type of person to lament that your yoga mat can’t travel with you, then these kinds of getaways are for you.

4. Ski Lodge - A very popular luxury travel experience for families, ski lodges often have an all inclusive approach that is perfect for a winter vacation. Active young ones can take lessons and hit the slopes with minimal supervision. The best ski lodges are set up to limit the amount of walking time needed to schlep your ski gear everywhere. And after a busy day, you can settle in for some fine dining by the fire!

5. River Cruise - River cruising is the fastest growing segment in luxury travel, and extremely popular among baby boomer and senior travelers. The great appeal of river cruising is the opportunity to visit smaller ports than are accessible to larger ships, unpacking only once, and enjoying panoramic views from the viewing deck as you savor a glass of wine. River cruises can be a great way to see multiple countries, as you take in the changing scenery, landscape, and architecture.
