Cruising with tara's travel
Are you looking for a great cruise vacation? Cruising is HOT and ships are in HIGH demand! Below you will see a list of cruises that I am sailing on and/or have group pricing for. With pricing and availability changing so much, please contact me for the most up-to-date pricing and specials. You will see a box with each cruise listed below...just click for more information.
If you have another cruise that you are interested in that isn't listed below, just let me know and I'm happy to send you information! I work and personally sail with all cruise lines...the ones listed below is just a small sampling. :)
One question I get all the time is, "Why should I book so far in advance for a cruise?" You'll see we already have a cruise booked into 2028! There are several reasons why...
1. Best Availability
2. Best Pricing (I always watch pricing for you - even after you are booked- so if the price drops on your cruise...I'll get you the better price!)
3. You can make payments and have everything paid off well before final payment is due.
4. Your deposit is refundable up until final payment is due (unless otherwise noted)
