Destination Wedding Travel Agent

If you’re searching for a cruise experience that combines elegance, adventure, and a touch of old-world charm, look no further than Star Clippers cruises. As a travel advisor with years of experience, I’ve had countless clients sail with Star Clippers, and every single one has returned with stories of unforgettable experiences. From breathtaking destinations to the unique charm of life aboard a majestic tall ship, Star Clippers offers a journey unlike any other.

What Makes Star Clippers Cruises Unique?

Unlike traditional cruise ships, Star Clippers offers the elegance of classic sailing combined with modern comfort. Their fleet of tall ships, including the Star Clipper, Star Flyer, and Royal Clipper, evokes the romance of the Age of Sail. Guests enjoy a more intimate, personalized cruise experience, with fewer passengers than typical large cruise liners - making it perfect for travelers who value space, serenity, and authenticity.

Some standout features of Star Clippers cruises include:

• Sailing Adventure: Feel the wind in your hair as the massive sails are hoisted and the ship glides across the turquoise waters.


• Intimate Atmosphere: With a smaller number of passengers, you’ll enjoy personalized service and the opportunity to truly connect with the crew and fellow travelers.


• Unique Destinations: Star Clippers often sails to ports unreachable by larger cruise ships, giving you access to hidden gems across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and more.


• Classic Elegance: Enjoy a blend of luxury and simplicity, with spacious cabins, exquisite dining, and a relaxed, casual dress code.

Why Travelers Love Star Clippers Cruises

From my personal experience with clients, the common thread is the sense of magic and adventure that Star Clippers brings. Here’s what guests rave about:

• Unforgettable Sunsets at Sea: Watching the sun dip below the horizon while the sails catch the wind is an experience that photos simply can’t capture.


• Delicious, Locally-Inspired Cuisine: Dining aboard Star Clippers is an experience in itself, featuring fresh ingredients and international flavors.


• Adventure and Relaxation: Whether you want to snorkel in pristine waters, explore remote islands, or simply relax on deck with a book, Star Clippers offers the perfect balance.


• Exceptional Crew Service: Guests often comment that the crew goes above and beyond, creating a welcoming and personalized experience throughout the journey.

Is Your Team Burnt Out? Here’s How to Motivate, Reward, and Reignite Performance - With Travel.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, your team is looking for more than surface-level perks - they want meaningful experiences that fuel motivation and connection. That’s where meetings and incentive travel comes in - and it’s transforming how successful companies reward and retain top talent.

At Time to Travel by Liz with Vincent Vacations, I help businesses design powerful travel experiences that drive real results: higher engagement, deeper loyalty, and better performance across the board.

What Is Incentive Travel?

Incentive travel is a performance-based reward - an unforgettable trip given to employees or teams for reaching goals, exceeding expectations, or celebrating milestones. It’s more than a vacation. It’s a strategic tool to recognize achievements, boost morale, and inspire excellence.

Whether it’s a luxury Caribbean resort, an epic European escape, or a curated cultural tour, I customize each experience to match your brand, goals, and budget.

Meetings + Travel = A Fresh Business Advantage

Offsite meetings are no longer a “nice-to-have.” When planned with purpose, they become the perfect blend of productivity and renewal. Imagine kicking off your next strategic planning session with a sunrise yoga class by the sea, or wrapping up a quarterly review with a sunset catamaran cruise. That’s how leaders spark innovation.

I handle every detail:
✔️ Venue selection and contract negotiation
✔️ Travel coordination and room blocks
✔️ Onsite experiences and excursions
✔️ Exclusive events planning 
✔️ Concierge-level service from start to finish

Why Choose Time to Travel by Liz?

You need more than a travel agent - you need a strategic partner who gets the demands of business and the power of exceptional experiences.

At Time to Travel by Liz, I specialize in luxury group travel, corporate incentive trips, and offsite meetings that feel anything but cookie-cutter. With global connections, award-winning planning, and insider access, I bring your vision to life with professionalism and flair.

Whether you’re rewarding your top salespeople, planning a leadership retreat, or hosting your first international team summit - I've got you.

Results That Go Beyond the Trip

Here’s what smart companies are seeing from investing in incentive travel:

• 
  

  +35% Increase in Employee Motivation

  +27% Improvement in Sales Performance

Last month, our family of three cruised to Alaska on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Encore, and I can honestly say—it was one of our favorite trips ever. If you’ve been thinking about an Alaska cruise, here’s what made it so special (and why I’d do it all over again).

Tracy Arm Fjord and Sawyer Glacier: Worth Every Second

Glacier Bay from Our Balcony = Game Changer

One of the best parts of the trip was just hanging out on our balcony. On the day we sailed through Glacier Bay National Park, we stayed in our PJs, grabbed coffee, and watched the icebergs drift by.

You don’t need to fight crowds up on deck—the view from your own cabin is just as good, maybe better. If you're booking an Alaska cruise, get the balcony. No question.

Skagway: Mountains, Trains & Snow

In Skagway, we rode the White Pass Scenic Railway. It climbs high up into the mountains with wild views the whole way. Tunnels, waterfalls, and even a bit of snow at the top.

It’s a cool way to learn some Gold Rush history while just sitting back and soaking in the views. Our video from this experience is above - check it out!

Ketchikan: Totems & Lumberjacks

Ketchikan gave us a mix of nature and fun. We saw impressive totem poles at Totem Bight State Park and walked the peaceful trails there.

Then we went to the Lumberjack Show, which was way more fun than we expected. Axe-throwing, tree climbing, lots of laughs. Great for all ages.

Victoria, B.C.: A Quick Stop, But So Worth It

We didn’t have long in Victoria, but we made the most of it. We toured around the city, saw the harbor, and walked up Mount Tolmie for the most gorgeous view of the whole city. It’s clean, beautiful, and full of charm.

We all said the same thing: we have to come back.

What It’s Like Onboard NCL Encore

This was our first time sailing on Norwegian Encore, and it really was a great fit for our family. The ship felt modern, clean, and easy to get around, with lots of ways to relax or jump into something fun.

There’s a go-kart track, laser tag, a beautiful spa, and plenty of cozy corners to just sit and watch the waves.

Entertainment We Loved

Every night offered something different, but our favorite show by far was The Choir of Man.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s part concert, part pub night, part musical—and all heart. The cast is full of real talent, and the whole thing feels like you’ve stumbled into a lively, feel-good moment you didn’t know you needed. We were clapping along, laughing, and even got a little misty-eyed at one point.

It was one of those unexpected highlights that stuck with us. Definitely make a reservation early—it fills up fast.

Dining & Vibes

We tried a mix of dining spots during the week. Cagney’s Steakhouse was a favorite for a nice night out, and we loved the teppanyaki experience onboard, but we also had solid meals in the included dining rooms. There’s no pressure to dress up—just come as you are, and enjoy.

Overall, the vibe on Encore is relaxed and welcoming. There’s a lot to do, but it never felt overwhelming or crowded. Just the right balance for a trip where the focus is being present and soaking it all in.

Real Talk: What We Learned

-Alaska is absolutely gorgeous and a must-see. Wild and peaceful at the same time, and full of 'wow' moments.

-NCL Encore was a great ship. Modern, lots to do, great food, and amazing shows.

-Balcony cabins are the move. Especially for Glacier Bay.

-Book excursions early. The best ones go fast.

-Don't overpack (ask me how I know! Ahh... another blog for another day...) Layers are KEY. And yes, it rains.

Ready to Go?

If Alaska’s on your list, I’d love to help you plan it. From picking the right ship to booking those must-do excursions, I’ll make it easy.
