Travel Advisor Jolin DaPrato was on
the same cruise. “It was such an amazing
opportunity to experience and learn about
luxury ocean cruising,” she said. “The ship
docked into ports that are off the beaten track,
which allowed for more unique experiences.
We saw a turtle sanctuary in Bequia, hiked to
a waterfall in Guadeloupe and snorkeled in a
turtle cove in St. Thomas. These cruises are
ideal for our clients, for they fit the luxury
lifestyle while visiting multiple destinations.”
Like a cruise vacation, safaris provide a level
of mobility that gives you the freedom to follow
your sense of adventure. “I was in Tanzania
during the southbound wildebeest migration
coming in from Kenya,” said Travel Advisor
Judith Kitzes. “We stayed at a mobile tented
camp that moves to follow the migration. I
helped collar a lioness with a GPS tracking
device for research. This trip was invitation
only, so I was able to visit 11 countries in Africa
in one amazing journey.”
ADVISOR’S
POV
“
What inspires me the most
about this job is putting all of
the pieces together to bring
a client’s dream to life. I am
always excited when a client
tells me this will be their first
adventure in a new part of the
world. This allows me to ask
questions, get answers and
create the Andrew Harper Travel
experience for them that will be
memorable for years to come.”

While cruises and safaris are known for
their exceptional service and advantageous
mobility, the same can be said for luxury
train travel, according to Travel Advisor Ann
Parent. “I recently traveled on the Belmond
Grand Hibernian Train in Ireland. I’ve been
to Ireland a number of times, but this time
was unique. We toured different places and
enjoyed private tours. The food onboard was
fabulous, and the entertainment each night
after dinner was so enjoyable. It was unlike
any other trip I’ve taken.”
