At Expedia Cruises in Palm Desert, we believe that memorable travel experiences should be accessible to everyone. We are a family-owned business. Gary Kelb and Flavius Garmacea are the Franchise Owners, and our dedicated team is here to transform your travel dreams into reality through personalized, attentive service.
We have a well-traveled team and their expertise spans the entire spectrum of travel experiences. From helping families find the perfect small ship cruise and expeditions from crafting detailed European land tours, organizing African safaris, or arranging intimate river voyages, we pride ourselves on matching each traveler with their ideal adventure. Our clients appreciate that we take the time to understand not only their destinations, but their interests, pace, and travel style.
While we work with all types of travel experiences, our themed cruises have become particularly popular among travelers seeking something special. Our wine voyages on the European rivers combine relaxation with education, offering opportunities to explore celebrated vineyards and enjoy expert-led tastings. Meanwhile, our culinary-focused trips bring the world of fine dining to the high seas.
This year, we are especially excited about our culinary cruise featuring local chefs Philippe Caupain (Si Bon) and Mario Marfia (Il Corso). Together, they bring their considerable expertise to create an approachable yet sophisticated culinary experience. Guests will enjoy hands-on culinary classes aboard the Oceania Vista in their state-of-the-art culinary center. Whether you’re a dedicated foodie or simply enjoy good cooking, these culinary adventures offer something for everyone.
What sets us apart isn’t just the destinations we offer–it’s our commitment to thoughtful planning and attention to detail. Need wheelchair-accessible shore excursions? We’ll arrange them. Traveling with dietary restrictions? We’ll ensure they’re accommodated. Our team handles everything from airport transfers to special celebration arrangements, ensuring your journey is smooth and enjoyable.
We take pride in working with travelers of all backgrounds and budgets. Whether you’re considering a weekend getaway or a month-long exploration, our team brings the same level of dedication to planning your perfect trip. We believe that great travel experiences shouldn’t be exclusive–they should be accessible to anyone with a desire to explore.
