About Claire Arca

About Claire Arca

My Agency is an Independently Owned and Operated Affiliate of Avoya Travel / American Express.

My love of travel started at a young age, and I already knew in middle school that I was studying to become a travel agent. I always loved to travel and explore the world, but most of all, I love to help people plan their trip, the excitement as it all comes together.

I enjoy planning honeymoon, European Custom packages, Australia, Caribbean, Cruise, All Inclusive resorts. With over 14 years of travel experience, there are few places I can't help you explore.

I care about my clients, and I care about their vacations. I like to make myself accessible at all times - before, during and after the trip, to make sure you have a great experience, from beginning to end.

My Travel Adventures

My most memorable trip is Australia, I enjoyed that country very much, great people, beautiful beaches, never ending rainforest. I travelled to Australia with Contiki, and that is what made it so wonderful at that time, as I was young, and exploring the country with people my own age.

Costa Rica was another country I enjoyed very much, monkeys crossing the streets, coffee plantation, amazing waves, beautiful and still super cheap hotels, and best of all, the Skywalk!! That was so scary, but the best urge of adrenaline I ever got, a must before you die! In the mountains of Monteverde, what a view!!! And on the way down back to Arenal Volcano, a swim in the hot water springs is another must.

I explored many parts of Mexico, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, I love Mexico and their welcoming attitude.

Jamaica was another nice trip, with the longest ever stretch of beach, their beautiful huge resort, all inclusive. I enjoyed the ride from Montego Bay to Negril, it allowed some sightseeing of the people outside the tourist areas, like some old men sitting on his porch with super long rasta, or a group of kids in school uniform walking to school, I almost felt like I was in Africa, I enjoyed it.

Of course, France, my native country, is my yearly trip, I can't say enough about France, the cheese, french baguette etc....but of course what I love the most is the beautiful Medieval villages, the gigantic cathedrals, the Med, and the Farmers markets on Sunday morning.

Spain is another place where I spent my childhood vacations. North of Spain and South of Spain, I love it all. The north in Galicia is gorgeous, with his own dialect, folkloric dances in the summer, Pilgrim celebration, and all the bars with those tapas!! Octopus in marinara sauce, mussells, shrimps....
South of Spain with his white house villages, old ladies "en lute", means their husband passed, and they will dress in black for the rest of their life, you don't find this anymore but in the Mediterranean countries. Hot sun all summer, tractors full of tomatoes all over the roads, cactus and olive trees everywhere, siesta in the afternoon, Spain is another lifestyle all together.

Claire Arca Reviews

"This rating was a direct result of Claire Arca, the travel agent we dealt with from start to finish. From the start, she understood what we were looking for and then was very prompt in delivering, from the cruise, to airline tickets, to car rental. In addition, she has gone above and beyond our expectations. One specific example is when we were looking to get off the ship after the cruise was over, we felt we were not informed and therefore, did not pre-order tickets to shuttle us from the ship back to the airport and our flight left only a few hours after we docked. Royal Carribean was unable to do much, although did indicate that we should contact our travel agent...this was Sunday and we were to get off the ship on Monday at 8:00 am with our flight leaving for the States at 11:00 am. Her office was closed and frantically I remembered she gave me a personal phone number, which I did call, and as I was leaving her a message, she called me back before I could even leave her a message. I relayed our dilemma on to her and she called me back within a couple hours with a ride from the cruise ship back to the airport...Phenominal service!!!" ~ Kenneth M.
