Best Expedition Cruises

Diane Ross has been my “go to” travel agent for years

Diane Ross has been my “go to” travel agent for years. I travel solo and it’s hard to find cruises that don’t charge me double. Diane is always on the look out for waived single supplements for me. She knew I was looking for an Iceland expedition cruise and sent me a Ponant cruise with no single supplement. She also sends me an app for my phone that has all my travel information on it for every trip I book. Her knowledge and service is top notch.

She’s a pro- I can’t recommend her highly enough.

There are so many choices for expedition cruises and I got so confused. Fortunately, I found Diane Ross and Best Expedition Cruises. She asked me so many questions about the type of experience I was looking for. Diane then narrowed it down and offered me 2 options highlighting the benefits of each. Based on that I chose an Antarctica cruise on Aurora with a flyover in one directions. She’s a pro- I can’t recommend her highly enough.

5 star all the way

I’ve been booking with Kingsbridge Travel for year and was excited to see Diane is now specializing in expedition cruises. I decided to take my granddaughter to the Galapagos. Diane recommended Tauck Bridges which wasn’t even on my radar. It was the perfect choice for us. 5 star all the way.

She made the process seamless

I wanted to explore the Arctic but have never considered a cruise. Diane explained how expedition ships are not like the cruises I've imagined. They are simply  moving vessels to get to remote corners of the world.The focus is on exploration and soft adventure- not bingo and all you can eat buffets. Her knowledge of the different brands and which would best suit my needs was invaluable. She made the process seamless and I'm already looking at other regions to explore. A+++

I was so pleased with a recent trip that I wanted to share my satisfying experience.

My mother and sisters and I have a tradition of celebrating milestone birthdays by going on a trip together. Our travel agent, Diane Ross, planned a trip-of-a-lifetime for us. We wanted to cruise, but also to tour. Because Mom is 88, navigating around a large ship would have been too strenuous. A river cruise was the answer! Diane had so much knowledge about various lines, and was able to narrow down the selection for us. An elegant environment was important to us, as well as cuisine. She found an ideal itinerary and knew which cabins were the most spacious and well-located. The ship’s staff knowledge of the (60th) birthday made the celebration more memorable (which Diane facilitated). She inquired about our interests to enhance our enjoyment of the trip. As a result, while docked in Paris, she arranged a Walking Tour of chocolate boutiques for us! Everyone loves chocolate, but I think few travel agents take the time to learn about their clients’ likes and dislikes, so that they can personalize their trip in such a lovely and different way. In addition to her professionalism, Diane’s depth of traveling experience allows her to recommend and implement trips for clients on every scale, from a local getaway to an around-the-world voyage. I can’t recommend her services highly enough“

Diane is the best travel agent we've ever had.

She really listened to us and asked a lot of questions so she could arrange the best trip for us. Our trip to Spain was nothing we could have planned ourselves. She took care of all parts of the trip- the air, hotels and tours. She even took care of details that we wouldn't have thought of. We especially loved that she chose hotels with kitchen facilities since we were traveling with our children. That made it easier and also saved us money. Diane even asked about our kids interests and booked tours that they loved. Great experience.

Our Mediterranean cruise fabulous!

When I called Kingsbridge Travel I had so many questions. I had looked online and got so confused with all the reviews of different ships and cruise lines. Diane took the time to find out where we had been before and what kind of activities we like. She chose a ship that wasn't on our radar and took the time to book the best location for us. She also recommended a tour of Akrotiri in Santonini that was one of the highlights of our vacation.

It's my pleasure to say a little about my experience with Diane Ross with Kingsbridge Travel.

Our recent trip to Europe was diverse and somewhat complex. To complicate matters further,we were traveling with another couple. So many moving parts! Hotel reservations, car rentals, tours, you name it, Diane handled it all. We had a lovely, memorable trip to London, Normandy, Germany and a fabulous river cruise on the Danube with Uniworld. With Diane's help and guidance our trip went so smoothly. Traveling , as fun as it is, comes with some angst. Diane absolutely saw to it that our trip was all and more than we'd hoped for.

Diane was great to work with on our trip to Europe

She was accessible to answer our questions and knowledgeable about planning the trip. We had a great time!!

Diane Ross was extremely competent, professional, and always available to assist with any concerns or questions I had.

She always promptly returned phone calls or emails throughout the planning process, and even on one occasion during the trip. Diane guided me every step of the way and attended to every detail to make my dream trip a reality. Thanks to her expertise, my experience was worry and stress free. I will be planning a return trip to Europe, and wouldn't consider anyone else as my agent.

I can't wait for my next expedition!

I can't thank Best Expedition Cruises enough for the incredible journey they orchestrated for me. My dedicated travel advisor, Diane, went above and beyond to make my expedition cruise a truly unforgettable experience. Her expertise and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of my adventure was seamlessly planned and executed. From selecting the perfect itinerary to securing exclusive perks, Diane's guidance was invaluable. Best Expedition Cruises and Diane made my dream of exploring one of the world's most remote destinations a reality. I can't wait for my next expedition!
