I work with a wide variety of luxury and premium cruise lines, and the most popular cruise lines I work with are Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Viking Ocean Cruises, Holland America Line and Oceania Cruises. I know the ins and outs of ocean cruising, and this expertise extends to a growing base of knowledge about expedition cruising.

It's a Pleasure to Book a Cruise Through Joe Lucero
Reviewed By Leonard - Scottsdale, AZ | Traveled to Mediterranean
Joe Lucero is practically always available by phone. If he's not in when I call, he returns my calls promptly or there is someone else present who can help me. He remembers who I am from year to year and usually remembers my travel preferences. He is very careful to make sure everything is booked to our specifications and that we understand the costs. He checks with us before making any alternative bookings. On our last cruise, he knew we were traveling in Spain before embarking on our cruise. He successfully got a message to us in Barcelona of a last minute change in the place to meet our cruise ship and asked us to let him know that we got his message in time. Joe is always enjoyable to talk to and I feel that he cares about our vacation and appreciates our return business.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

No big problems!
Reviewed By Delmor - Long Beach, CA | Traveled to Trans-Atlantic
The whole experience was maybe not as personalized as I might wish, but Joe did help make our recent cruise experience logistically smooth. We started off with Joe, thinking we’d do a river Cruise in Portugal - but he helped us get good rooms on the very different OCEAN cruise... which it turns out was a better fit for the 4 of us. His “welcome gift” was also very welcome!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    My Take on Explora Journeys

    Joe Lucero here from Cruise Specialists. After nearly two decades in this industry and sailing on the world's best cruise lines, I'll be honest: it takes a lot to leave me speechless. I sailed on Explora Journeys’ incredible new ship, Explora I, and I’m still searching for the right words. "Wow" just doesn't seem to cover it. This isn't j...
