Certified Alaska Specialist
You can see Alaska in pictures. You can see Alaska in videos. But to fully grasp the magnificence of Alaska, you must visit it and walk on it.
Many people take an inexpensive, quick, round-trip cruise to the Inland Passage. They maybe see a glacier. They maybe see a whale. They maybe see a...

Food-Lover Cruising
One of the reasons that I enjoy cruising is that it provides me access to Michelin quality chef-prepared food that I ordinarily would have to travel to a large city to access.
I can prepare and eat a good meal at home. I can visit a local restaurant and have a tasty meal. But the quality v...

Escorted Tours Travel Expert
The last time I was in the British Museum, I can remember visiting the antiquities, parts of the same ancient cultures we studied when we were in school. Near us was a couple who were trying to figure out the importance and the relevance of the frieze, whether it was from Athens or Rome, and how ...

Cruising in the Aftermath of a Pandemic
Karl is great at handling all these challenges to your travel plans.
Karen K Georgetown, TX
The Best Thing I Ever Did Was Take A World Cruise
The best thing I ever did was take a world cruise. Visiting all those countries. Seeing all those ports. Talking with the local people and experiencing the things of their every day lives is beyond words to describe these. Yes, it is a big chunk of time, and it does cost more than a shorter cruise, but it was well worth it, and I am hoping to do so again. You meet new people, who become your friends. You see the exotic -- kamoto dragons, the haka dance and the traditions of the Maori people, the tallest buildings in the world, whales, and canals. This is a once in a life-time experience that I will always treasure and never get tired of talking about. What about you? Let Karl arrange your world tour for you as he did for me.

Fears Gone Cruising Is The Best!
I did not want to go on our first cruise. I tried to get Mr. Mills to book an all-inclusive resort instead, but we had a special deal for Royal Caribbean. I was so nervous, and was sure I was going to be miserably anxious and overwhelmed the entire time. I came out of that experience not only happy we went, but absolutely in love with cruising.
In my opinion, it is the best vacation someone with an anxiety condition can take, because there’s so much preparation that is done to make sure you have a good time.
