In this episode of Luxury Cruising, Dr. Krystal Sodaitis chats with Dr. Jean Armstrong, a family physician, coach, and avid traveler, about her journey aboard the Norwegian Epic. Jean recounts how her 2016 Mediterranean cruise became a bucket list trip with her husband and close friend, thanks to the exclusive amenities of The Haven. Jean shares how this "ship within a ship" experience provided unmatched privacy and comfort, from private excursions through Italy and France to the personalized butler service and dedicated Haven restaurant.

Tune in to hear about luxurious details like the panoramic soaking tub, private elevator access, and her memorable evening of room service pizza and a movie marathon. Whether you dream of sipping cocktails by a secluded pool or having your butler remember your favorite pastry, this episode showcases how The Haven delivers a first-class experience at sea.

Three Key Takeaways:

1. Prioritize Privacy and Convenience: Booking accommodations like The Haven provides access to private areas, priority boarding, and exclusive dining, enhancing relaxation and avoiding crowds.
2. Customize Excursions: Consider private tours for a more personalized and luxurious experience, often comparable in price to group excursions when traveling with companions.
3. Balance Spontaneity and Planning: While some activities benefit from careful planning, leaving room for flexibility can add to the luxury of slow, enjoyable travel.
