Thinking about a cruise vacation but not sure where to start? 🛳️

Here's something most people don't know: NCL's Haven, Oceania, and Regent Seven Seas are actually three sister brands under the same parent company — but they couldn't be more different. One is perfect for families who want a private, upgraded space on a big, lively ship. One is built for foodies who want smaller ships and better dining. And one is fully all-inclusive, no extra charges, no surprises on your final bill.

We broke down exactly who each one is right for (and who should skip it) — plus an exclusive $200 shipboard credit we're offering through September 28 on new Regent Seven Seas bookings. 👇

Not sure which fits your next trip? That's exactly what we're here for — stop by the Kirkwood storefront or give us a call. 💫

Every few weeks a client asks me a version of the same question: "Should I just book a suite, or should I book a whole different cruise line?" It's a fair question. And most people asking it have no idea they're actually asking about three sister brands under the exact same parent company — Norweg...

✈️ 6 REASONS YOU SHOULD USE ANEW TRAVEL FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP ✈️

You can book a trip yourself.

But the better question is… should you?

At Anew Travel, we believe travel planning is about so much more than finding a hotel and clicking “book.”

It’s about having someone who knows the destination, understands what matters to you, knows who to call when something goes sideways, and can create an experience that actually feels like your trip.

Here are 6 reasons our clients choose Anew:

✨ Expertise & insider access — We know the industry, the destinations and the people behind the experiences.

✨ Personalized itineraries — Your trip should be built around you, not a cookie-cutter itinerary.

✨ Peace of mind — We handle the details so you can focus on looking forward to your trip.

✨ Advocacy & support — When the unexpected happens, you have a real person in your corner.

✨ Access to unique experiences — Sometimes the best parts of a trip aren’t the things you find with a Google search.

✨ Supporting a local business — When you choose Anew, you’re supporting a local Kirkwood business and a team that genuinely cares about getting travel right.

Because travel smarter doesn’t mean doing everything yourself.

Sometimes, the smartest thing you can do is let an expert handle it. ❤️

More than a vacation. It’s a well-planned experience.

That’s The Anew Travel Way. ✈️

🎉 Labor Day Closure 🎉

In honor of Labor Day, our storefront will be closed today. This holiday is a wonderful reminder to pause and appreciate the hard work of our team — so today, we’re giving them the gift of time with family and friends.

We hope you also get a chance to slow down and enjoy the day, whatever that looks like for you — a cookout, time outdoors, or simply some well-deserved rest. 🌤️

We’ll be back tomorrow, ready to help plan your next adventure. Happy Labor Day! ✈️

✨ PLEASE JOIN US IN WELCOMING THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE ANEW TRAVEL FAMILY! ✨

We are so excited to officially welcome Lora Becker to Anew Travel! ❤️✈️🌎

Lora and Christina have known each other for 20 years, dating all the way back to their days working together as nurses. Long before Lora ever became a travel advisor, she was already the person everyone turned to when they needed vacation advice.

Coworkers would flock to her with questions about cruises, destinations, resorts, and where they should go next. She has always had a natural passion for travel and a genuine love for helping people create incredible experiences.

Now, she gets to make it official! 🥂

Based in Southern Illinois, Lora will be helping clients plan cruises, all-inclusive getaways, family vacations, and adventures big and small.

We are especially excited to watch her take something she has naturally been doing for years and turn it into this next chapter with Anew Travel. Her years of caring for people as a nurse, combined with her love of travel, make her a wonderful addition to our team.

At Anew Travel, we believe the best travel advisors aren’t simply people who know how to book a trip. They’re people who listen, care, anticipate, problem-solve, and genuinely want their clients to have an incredible experience.

Lora has been doing that for years. Now, she gets to do it as an Anew Travel advisor. ❤️

Welcome to the team, Lora! We cannot wait to see all the memories you help create!

If you’re in Southern Illinois and ready to start planning your next adventure, Lora would love to help! 🚢🌴✈️

Who’s ready to give Lora something to book?! 😉

🎉 Welcome to the team, Aiden!

We’re thrilled to introduce our very first Co-Op Student, Aiden — a Junior at Kirkwood High School who’s joining us to dive into the world of business, entrepreneurship, and travel!

Full circle moment alert: our CEO Christina got her own start in business in 2005 as a co-op student herself. Now she gets to pass that same opportunity forward to her son, Aiden— and yes, she may be a little biased, but she also knows real potential when she sees it. 😉

Aiden has already traveled all over the world, and that firsthand love of exploration is exactly the kind of perspective that makes a great addition to our team. We can’t wait to watch him grow — both in business and in life — and to see everything that’s on the horizon for him.

Join us in giving Aiden a big welcome! 🌍✈️

🌴 A little more about Allison!

She’s not a travel agent, but she sure knows a good trip when she sees one. One of her favorite travel memories is a recent trip to Isla Mujeres with her husband — their favorite tropical getaway, shared with family. After three visits, it’s become a special place full of memories with the people she loves. 🐠
Her dream trip? Italy — the food, the history, the charming towns, and the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

Her underrated pick? Costa Rica — beaches, rainforests, waterfalls, and wildlife all in one trip.

🌴🐠 Island adventure or relaxing beach day — which are you? Drop your answer below!

💡 A tip from Allison Lesher:

One common mistake she sees? Waiting too long to reach out to a travel professional. Having the right information and support early in the planning process gives our agents more time to find the right options, coordinate the details, and create a better experience for the client.

Moral of the story: the earlier you reach out, the better your trip turns out. ✈️
