Why people believe in us

Samuel Spencer provided excellent advice with helping with our cruise arrangements as well as flights to the start of cruise start destination.


Whenever we had questions requiring clarification or unexpected changes to our itinerary, he responded very quickly and was able to help provide us with a solution to all situations that we encountered - often at times, outside of normal business hours.


We would highly recommend Samuel  to anyone that is planning a cruise along with their associated travel arrangements.

Kevin has designed several travel packages for us, the most recent being a Crystal cruise adventure in the Adriatic, Ionian, and Tyrrhenian Sea's.


Kevin took care of us at every step of the journey, from pre and post cruise hotel packages and hotel transfers, to day trips, and a behind the scenes tour of St. Mark's Basilica. He made travel planning easy for us, and came up with suggestions for activities that we would not have known about.


We are looking forward to our next adventure in the spring of 2022.

Samuel and David went above and beyond in helping our group arrange our 30 day cruise vacation with flights, hotels, transfers, additional tours - everything.


Then, when the last part of our cruise was cancelled, they continued to keep in touch and advise us until we were safely home, getting us new flights rebooked and working daily with us to ensure we were taken care of.


They did this while they were onboard hosting a cruise themselves, so we were so thankful for their quick service and would highly recommend!

Joseph was very helpful and always responsive to our questions, and his assistant Thomas was always available for any questions about our invoices and payments.


We would highly recommend Joseph and the team at Ocean River Cruises when booking a cruise vacation!
