Travel Adventures

I have been on over a hundred cruises with friends and family all over the world, including the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, Costa Rica, and the Rivers of Europe, Egypt, French Polynesia, the Arabian Gulf, and Japan. I also have friends that work on cruise ships all over the world, and I’ve had the unique opportunity of sailing with some of them, “Below Deck” as an Honorary Crew Member. Sometimes you find adventure and sometimes the adventure finds you. It’s all about the journey, sharing experiences, and creating memories with the people you care about.

Reviews

I have had the pleasure of using Jamie Grau for all my travel cruising and I have brought a lot of business to Avoya, I run a lot of groups and Jamie has always accommodated us…he truly is the best of the best. I just booked another cruise with Jamie and there is 14 of us and again he delivered. If it were not for Jamie I probably would not be going through Avoya. He is the one I feel confident with our trips, since there is a lot of people and money at stake. - Therese A.
good, fast service - Kenneth R.
Always easy to work with Jamie. Hoping our most recently booked trip a year from now is as enjoyable as our first River cruise a year ago. Didn’t put a 10 rating since would like more guidance regarding travel insurance. But then again we guess it’s not the agents job, or area of expertise, to steer us in one direction or another. - Gary P.
