Luxury Cruise & Travel Advisor FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most from travelers planning a luxury cruise or rail journey.

What does Star Class Journeys do?

Star Class Journeys is an independent luxury travel agency. We plan personalized, end-to-end trips, from early-stage planning and securing the best suites to arranging bespoke experiences and helping if anything goes wrong while you travel.

What do you specialize in?

Suite-level cruising and luxury rail, with particular expertise in Celebrity Cruises' The Retreat, Royal Caribbean's Star Class, and Silversea, including expedition voyages to places like the Galápagos and Antarctica.

Does it cost more to book through a travel advisor?

In most cases, no. Cruise lines generally pay advisors directly, so you typically pay the same fare you'd find booking yourself, plus you get expert guidance and an advocate if plans change. We'll always be upfront about any planning fees before you commit.

What's the difference between The Retreat, Star Class and Silversea?

The Retreat and Star Class are premium suite programs on large resort ships, while Silversea is a small, ultra-luxury line where every guest has a suite and a butler. See our full comparison guide for the details.

Who founded Star Class Journeys?

Star Class Journeys was founded by a veteran traveler who has visited all 7 continents and more than 47 countries, so the advice you get comes from first-hand experience.

Can you help if my trip is disrupted?

Yes. Handling travel interruptions and issues is part of our service, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.
