Looking for a destination that blends breathtaking landscapes with world-class hospitality? Welcome to Alberta, Canada!

Whether it’s canoeing on Lake Louise, stargazing under some of the clearest skies in North America, or indulging in farm-to-table cuisine, Alberta offers an unforgettable mix of nature and comfort!

Alberta isn’t just a trip — it’s an experience you’ll carry with you forever. We're here to help when you're ready to experience all it has to offer!

What makes a cruise truly unforgettable? For some travelers, it’s not the size of the ship. It’s the access and experience.

With Oceania Cruises, guests enjoy the luxury of small-ship cruising. That means:
- Visiting boutique ports that larger ships can’t reach
- Dining on some of the finest cuisine at sea
- Personalized service with fewer crowds onboard
- Immersive itineraries designed for travelers who want to dive deeper, not just check destinations off a list

From the cobblestone streets of Europe to the turquoise waters of the South Pacific... and from the wildlife and glaciers of Alaska to the white sands of the Caribbean... Oceania blends comfort and discovery in a way that feels effortless.

Where would you love to go first: a Mediterranean classic like Santorini, an adventurous location like Alaska, or the warmth of the Caribbean?

Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a bucket-list adventure, the memories you make while traveling last far longer than the trip itself.

✨ Why the Dominican Republic should be on your travel list ✨

Think turquoise waters, powdery beaches, lush mountains, and vibrant culture - the Dominican Republic truly has it all. Whether you’re dreaming of an all-inclusive resort getaway, a golf retreat, or exploring charming towns and waterfalls, this island offers something for every traveler.

Peak Season: December–April brings the best weather with sunny skies and low humidity (perfect for escaping Oregon winters!). Shoulder seasons in May–June and September–November mean lighter crowds and often better rates, but also some chances of rain showers.

Getting There from Oregon: You can typically fly on a red-eye from Portland (PDX) with one connection — most often through hubs like Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, or Houston. Popular arrival airports include Punta Cana (PUJ) for resort stays or Santo Domingo (SDQ) if you want cultural immersion.

The Dominican Republic is more than just beaches (though the beaches are incredible) — it’s a chance to mix relaxation with adventure and culture in one unforgettable trip.

Would you rather sip a cocktail (or mocktail) on the sand, hike to a hidden waterfall, or explore a colorful colonial city?

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of hosting KC from Abercrombie & Kent, Carson from A&K Sanctuary Retreats, and Tracey, Head of Australia & New Zealand Product at A&K, for an inspiring lunch-and-learn with our team.

These sessions keep us connected with the very best in travel — giving our advisors insider updates, firsthand destination knowledge, and the latest on A&K’s incredible offerings, from Small Group Journeys and Luxury Expedition Cruises to their world-class DMC network on all seven continents.

It’s these strong partnerships that allow us to create the kind of unforgettable, one-of-a-kind journeys our clients dream about.

📸 Thanks to KC, Carson, and Tracey for joining us — here are a couple of snaps from their visit!

We love updates from travelers while in-destination! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Of course, we never expect them and want you to fully immerse yourselves in your experiences - but when you are having a great trip and are excited to share then of course we are equally as excited to follow along!

Currently, this couple is experiencing the wonders of Colombia, exploring Medellin, Cartagena and finishing things off at a private island resort outside of Baru! It looks so lush and vibrant, and they are raving about the food and culture.

You can always tag us in your travels so we can follow along from afar!

Our Story

At the Travel & Cruise Desk we understand that every travel experience and client is unique. For over 50 years our agency has offered services and products that add value, enhance experiences and provide support to each and every trip our clients take with us. With over 300 years combined experience in travel planning, our luxury travel specialists are among the most experienced in the industry. Whether you are planning for a once-in-a-lifetime special occasion or you are looking for an upscale booking and travel experience, our team is looking forward to assisting you with your business and leisure travel needs.

Our story starts when Julie Shipley founded Julie’s Travel Desk in 1965. Back then, a desk was pretty much all that was needed. Julie’s attention to detail, creativity and a desire to help others made selling travel a natural choice for her. The original ‘Team Julie’s’ consisted of three members, who all worked hard making travel arrangements for their clients to any place in the world or around it. Over the past fifty years the travel industry and the way people travel has changed considerably. By keeping up with this ever-changing industry, the TRAVEL & CRUISE DESK has not only survived but has thrived. Originally, almost every journey started with a visit to a local travel agency. These days there are other options available, but by offering expert advice, while providing the highest quality of customer service, we continue to add value to every travel experience that we help to create.
