Kind Words from Happy Travelers

“Lise-Marie at Sterling Journeys has organized several wonderful trips for our family throughout the US, Europe, and Asia covering a number of different venues including luxury train excursions, private drivers and tour guides, river boat vacations, and top-end cruises. In all cases, her attention to details; extensive knowledge of the various locales and venues; and ability to coordinate as well as facilitate every aspect of the travel went beyond our (very high) expectations. Lise-Marie is the consummate professional who understands the needs of her clients and never fails to deliver impeccable service.”

- Linda N.

“While we had been providing incentive trips for several years, Lise-Marie helped us take them to a whole new level with her attention to detail and experience in the luxury market. Her professional connections were particularly beneficial with our international trips. Her ability to anticipate our CEO’s needs and his vision for the experience ensured a successful trip and delighted guests.”

“Lise-Marie is a fantastic travel specialist! This was my second trip that she has planned and she has always fulfilled all of my travel needs & provided excellent client service. Her attention to detail in planning my family reunion Cruise last year for 28 people was beyond amazing, especially with ages ranging from 2-81years of age. Lise-Marie’s vast knowledge of Cruises, travel destinations and her personal attention to details is why she will be planning my next trip.”

- Lisa W.

“Lise-Marie planned a dream wedding for us and 60 of our closest friends and family onboard a cruise ship. She took care of every detail so my bride and I could enjoy our special day.”

- Matthew A.

“It was so wonderful to not have to think about a thing. Lise-Marie organized beautiful hotels in Barcelona, Venice and our fabulous boutique hotel in Paris. Everything was seamless. We had an extraordinary time and can’t wait to rebook with her for our next adventure.”

- Kathy O.

“At 2am I called Lise, amazingly she answered. “We missed our connection from N.Y. to Paris.” Yes, we were at the wrong gate in the wrong terminal and our flight had left an hour ago. “Lise, what do we do now?” Lise walked us thru the process of navigating the airline, called our car and hotel in Paris, moved all our tours and well thought-out plans back by a day and the next morning we were on our way to Paris. Lise was there for us and without her we would have been in a panic and not had a very romantic trip. The planning for Paris took about two weeks for me to secretly plan with Lise. I wanted the trip to be romantic and effortless on our part. We saw everything that was on our list. Lise arranged everything, we always got around the lines, it was flawless. Could not have asked for more, she was right about the hotel and how to make it the best trip, and the most romantic.

- Michael D.

“My husband and I simply told Lise-Marie that we wanted to visit the distilleries in Scotland and to see the landscape as well as castles. She did an excellent job planning and developing our itinerary. All of the places we stayed were excellent and absolutely beautiful. She was in contact with us the whole time through her app and was up to date with everything we were doing.”

- Laura W.

“As soon as my (now) husband and I decided to get married on a Celebrity cruise ship, we knew we needed a travel agent who could help us. Lise-Marie came highly recommended from a friend, and she truly went above and beyond for us. She secured amazing group rates for our entire wedding party (45 guests!), got us lots of perks, and liaised with Celebrity to help us plan an incredible, memorable wedding onboard the Constellation. Our friends and family commented on what a pleasure it was to book the cruise through Lise-Marie, and we highly recommend her.”

- Victoria R.
