Congratulations to our giveaway winner, Peter May!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Portland Bridal & Wedding Expo on Sunday. We loved meeting so many happy couples and hearing about your travel plans for the year ahead!

Peter is the lucky winner of a three-night stay at Secrets Playa Mujeres, one of our favorite adults-only all-inclusive resort just north of CancĂşn. This property is great for both couples and groups... romantic, beautifully designed, and offering full access to the neighboring Dreams Playa Mujeres for even more dining and entertainment options.

It’s Monday, which means it’s time to spotlight some hands-on travel experiences from our advisors. This first edition takes us to Alaska, where one of our team members just returned from a 12-day sailing with Oceania Cruises — and wow, what a trip!

Here were some of their key takeaways and highlights:
- Catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights as we left Skagway
- Visiting the Fortress of the Bear rescue center in Sitka
- A rustic salmon bake in Juneau (with s’mores in the woods!)
- Rolling up our sleeves for an Oceania cooking class (yes, we got to eat everything we made!)
- Whale watching with plenty of tails and sprays to spot
- Stunning views of the Inside Passage under blue skies

With sunshine and mid-70s temps every day, it was the perfect reminder that late summer is a fantastic time to visit Alaska!

What they loved most? It’s the little included luxuries that add up. Think: cappuccinos from the Barista bar, smoothies by the pool, specialty dining that doesn’t come with an additional price tag, and even complimentary laundry (because packing light is a win!). Oceania really nails the balance between elegance and ease.

✨ Sometimes it’s the little luxuries that make a big difference at sea.
Would Alaska be on your bucket list? We're here to help find the perfect option for you!

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

Here, you’ll find the postcard-perfect turquoise lakes of Banff and Jasper, endless hiking and wildlife viewing in the Canadian Rockies, and cozy luxury lodges where you can unwind by the fire after a day of adventure. They also have excellent interpretive sites and museums that tell the stories of their lands and important Indigenous tribes.

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?

✨ “Travel isn’t always about escaping life… it’s about making sure life doesn’t escape you.” ✨

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

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.
