“Ten years ago, my husband and I walked into a business called “Cruise and Travel Specialists”. We were hoping to find someone who might take the mystery out of booking a cruise. Turns out we hit the jackpot that day and we’ve felt the same on numerous cruise planning endeavors ever since. I doubt there’s anyone more knowledgeable and passionate about cruising than Beth Schulberg! We’ve also thoroughly enjoyed a couple of group tours in Europe with Beth as our escort and look forward to more.”

I refer all of my friends and family to Laura Dodson when it comes to cruising as Laura takes the utmost care in planning an excellent cruising experience and communicating with her clients along the way.  She takes great care to provide excellent customer service.

My husband and I have taken several trips with Laura Dodson and we have been most pleased each time with her arrangements. Two of the trips were designed around dragon boating races for a portion of our dragon boat paddling club. Her knowledge and experience with different cruise lines and tours ensured we had the best experience possible. Her willingness to work with us on a self-driving tour in Iceland, with a company she hadn’t previously worked with, was very helpful since we had never done a trip like this before. Our continuation of this trip on the Danube featured a wonderful cruise line which was even better than the one we originally requested. Her knowledge of different destinations allowed us ample information to make informed decisions about where we wanted to go to make the most of our travel time. We most certainly will travel with her again.

Laura’s ability to deal with the details and ensure everything works the way it should, creates less aggravation and problems for me as a traveler.  Laura is the only Travel Agent I will do business with.

“Beth Schulberg is the one of the most customer service oriented people I know – and I taught customer service skills for over 20 years! Beth’s attention to detail, her ability to listen, and her passion to make everyone feel comfortable and have fun. Add her million dollar smile and sense of humor, and you have a win/win for everyone. I would recommend Beth’s travel services to anyone who wants to create lifetime memories without the stress.”

Hi Laura- We had a fantastic time! We are so happy we did this trip & we loved Uniworld! Hopefully we can be in-touch soon!

I thought I had an excellent travel agent when I lived in CA… that is, until moving to OR and was introduced to Laura thru a mutual friend. Not only is she great at what she does, but deals with her clients in an upbeat manner and an ever-present smile. No matter how busy she gets, each of us is made to feel like we’re the only client she has. In all of my travels over the past few years – both with Laura and on solo cruises – I’ve always been amazed by all of the surprises that take place along the way. She has a special knack for finding unusual places to go and things to see and do, no matter the city. Don’t miss your chance to have an amazing experience – let her plan your next adventure, once we’re all able to again travel to faraway destinations. Wherever you dream of going, Laura can make it happen!

I have had the pleasure of working with Laura Dodson to arrange a South Pacific cruise on Holland America. Laura has over a decade of first-hand travel expertise and is a hands-on agent. She arranged everything from excursions to special dinners. In addition, she insured that our accommodations were exactly what we asked for. Every detail of our cruise was addressed. You can count on Laura to see that all your cruise requirements are covered, from ticketing to transportation to insurance. She provides a worry-free cruise experience.

“Beth was an absolute pleasure to work with. Besides being extremely knowledgeable of our destinations, she always was efficient with every task we asked of her. She gave us wonderful suggestions and recommendations, which we used and they always were perfect. She made our 15 day vacation in the Mediterrean a trip of our lifetime.”

“Beth has taken care of all our needs in a professional matter, whether it was a large or small request.”

Laura Dodson is the finest travel professional we have ever worked with. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, caring, and has wonderful attention to detail. We will not leave home without her. She is a cruise expert; she knows every line, every itinerary, even which staterooms are the best. Ask her about shore excursions too, she knows! Laura Dodson will make your travel experience seamless and memorable. We are proud to call her “ours”.

I first met Laura Dodson a few years ago on a Windstar Cruise. When I decided to go on a Danube River cruise, I contacted Laura. I knew she had first-hand experience on the rivers of Europe.

Laura couldn’t have been more thorough and caring when it came to finding a cruise that would be best for a solo traveler. She worked tirelessly to get me the best flights and cruise including pre and post options. Once Covid-19 canceled out any and all travel, Laura, once again, worked endlessly making sure that my travel plans were taken care of. Laura is available either by phone or email. She is conscientious and always keeps me up to date on what is happening. She is the best travel agent I have ever had.
