Starr Levey's Bio:
I've been a travel professional for over 25 years. Developing a love of travel at a very early age, my first plane trip was at age 6 months. I've visited almost all of the countries of Europe, spent time in Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand, Africa and the Middle East, Canada and Mexico and many areas of the United States. Originally specializing in soft adventure, trekking, white water rafting and exotic locales, my cruise experience began with a trans-Atlantic crossing and has included ferries to luxury ships, barges and river boats all over the world.
A stand out cruise experience for me though was with Crystal Cruises from London to Stockholm. I happened to be traveling with my mother and aunt, and the extent to which they were catered and the ease in getting around and enjoying all the same amenities as those much younger travelers was impressive. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with my clients and planning special pre and post cruise itineraries and shore excursions for sophisticated travelers. This is something I highly recommend doing in advance to truly get exactly what you want out of your shore excursions. For us, the most memorable port was St. Petersburg. The beautiful architecture of the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood with its detailed mosaics is a must see. The vast treasures within are simply beyond belief or description; the jewels are breathtaking and overwhelming.
One of my favorite destinations though is India. I spent time in both the north, where the pace of life is comparable to New York City, and the south, where life is a little slower and a bit more humid. The smells of food and spices, the sights: vibrantly colored saris everywhere you look, palatial hotels and beautiful buildings, and sounds of traffic, music and people are a sensory overload. To navigate these bustling cities where driving is a challenge, I suggest a car & driver. The majestic Taj Mahal is done best seen at dawn or by moonlight and the UNESCO world heritage sites should be on everyone's list of things to do. When outside the city and among the wildlife, keep in mind that jewelry is extremely appealing and easily snatched off your person by mischievous monkeys so dress down!

Judy Manton-Jacobson's Bio:
I'm a transplant of 30 years from New York who's specialized in cruise travel for over 12 years. I've taken over 20 cruises to Europe, Mexico, Alaska and the Caribbean. I've sailed on Crystal, Regent Seven Seas, Silver Seas and Windstar several times and can offer you insight based on my own exciting adventures at sea.
Sailing the Queen Mary 2 on a TransAtlantic cruise was among the highlights of my travels abroad. The ship was without a doubt the destination; the luxurious Canyon Ranch spa and its sparkling pools, dining at Todd English Restaurant, and enjoying the most amazing, well-equipped gym. But disembarking in England and having high tea at the Lanesborough Hotel in London was an experience not to be missed.
Our family cruise to Alaska was also an unforgettable adventure. The breathtaking scenery and beauty of the land is incomparable. Our whitewater river rafting excursion in Ketchikan (in the pouring rain!) in August was a thrill..half the time you didn't know which end was up!
