Meet Tessa Sledge, Travel Advisor at Embark Cruises, based in Salem, CT. 👋

As part of a military family, Tessa brings something to the table that most advisors simply cannot. A firsthand understanding of the sacrifices military families make and a passion for helping them make the absolute most of the time they get to step away and just be together. She knows the military exclusive deals, she knows how to navigate the planning process, and most importantly she knows how to take the stress completely off your plate so you can focus on what actually matters, making memories.

But Tessa is not just your go-to for military travel. She is a well-rounded advisor with a genuine love for helping all of her clients find the perfect getaway.

When it comes to her favorite destination, Tessa said, "That's an easy one, Alaska! There's truly nothing like it. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the peaceful, untouched beauty instantly connects you to nature. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and just take it all in."

And her dream destination? "The Nordic countries. I can't wait to experience the stunning landscapes, the culture and the history. It's very high on the list!"

If you are ready to start planning your dream vacation, Tessa would love to help make it happen!

Did you know that every cruise ship is christened by a Godmother (or Godfather)? It is one of the oldest maritime traditions in the world and each one brings their spirit, story and blessing to the ship and everyone who sails on her.

Here are just a few examples:
✨ Audrey Hepburn - Star Princess
✨ Oprah Winfrey - Nieuw Statendam
✨ Jennifer Hudson - Disney Dream
✨ Simone Biles - Celebrity Beyond
✨ Meghan Trainor - Utopia of the Seas
✨ Katy Perry - Norwegian Prima

And we had the honor of watching Astronaut Kellie Gerardi Christen Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas this past August.

To the Godmothers of the Seas and mothers of the world, you set things in motion, you send people off with love, and you are with them during the calm and storms.

Cheers to you, and Happy Mother's Day! 🥂 💐

To every mom out there giving her kids the adventure of a lifetime, whether that looks like exploring the world together, getting lost in a great book, or turning an ordinary Tuesday into something magical through playtime and imagination.

Cheers to you. 🥂💐

You are the reason they dream big. 💫

Happy Mother's Day from the Embark Cruises family. 💙

In honor of here is another fun train excursion.

We took a double-decker train ride around the island of St. Kitts. The narrated train ride was a great way to see the island and learn more about its history and culture.

Dancers also came on board and preformed a traditional dance, and we enjoyed cocktails throughout the journey.

It was a very cool experience, but if you are prone to motion sickness or weary of rocking and heights, you might want to skip this one.

It's and we couldn't let the day come and go without sharing not only our favorite excursion in Alaska, but one of our all-time favorite excursions from around the world!

The White Pass & Yukon Route is often called the "Scenic Railway of the World", and it lives up to that name. With breathtaking views of the mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, and gorges it is one of the most incredible experiences we have ever had.

If Alaska is on your bucket-list, put this on your must-do list and star it, because this is an adventure you will never forget. Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures we took on our trip - and trust us, the pictures don't do it justice.

Here are a few facts for our train loving friends:
🚂 Built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush, it is known as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
🚂 The project cost $10 million, and had over 35,000 workers facing extreme conditions including -60 degree weather, snowy and rocky terrain and were required to blast through mountain cliffs.
🚂 The 110 mile track was completed in 1900 and linked Skagway to Whitehorse.
🚂 The route includes a 16-degree curve and passes over numerous bridges and through tunnels.
🚂 The line closed in 1982 after the Faro Mine shut down and was revived in 1988 focusing on tourism.
🚂 The line was purchased in 2018 as a joint venture between Survey Point Holdings and Carnival Corporation.

If you want to experience it for yourself, or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us - we LOVE talking about this trip!

It's and we have something to say.

AI is incredible. Booking platforms are convenient. And yet, the demand for travel advisors is growing, not shrinking. Why?

Because information is not the same as guidance. Because the cheapest option is not always the right one. And because when something goes wrong at 11pm in a foreign port, you want a real human being in your corner, not a chatbot.

That is what a travel advisor does. That is what WE do. Every single day.

This is one of our favorite posts because it is honest, it is real, and it answers the question we hear all the time: do I really need a travel agent?

Spoiler: if you want a vacation that actually fits your life, yes. Yes you do. 😄

In today's world, planning a cruise, an all-inclusive resort stay, or a theme park vacation has never been easier. You can compare ships in seconds

Today is and we would like to take a minute to celebrate the people who turn vacation dreams into real, unforgettable experiences. And yes, we are a little biased, but we think our team at Embark Cruises is pretty special. 🥂

Here is what a travel advisor actually does that no app, AI, or booking site can replicate:

✅ They know which cabin location will ruin your sleep and which one will make your trip
✅ They sit on hold with cruise lines for hours so you never have to
✅ They catch the fine print before it becomes your problem
✅ They are your advocate when something goes wrong
✅ They match you to the right trip, not just the cheapest one

To our team of nine amazing advisors, thank you for everything you do. And to anyone still booking travel on their own, there has never been a better time to have someone truly in your corner.
