Past Hosted Journeys
A Northern Lights Experience
Norway - March 2025
Thirteen people joined Vacation Artisans on a voyage of a lifetime, filled with beauty, culture, and history. They embarked on an unforgettable journey in Norway for a Northern Lights Cruise.
With 34 port stops over 11 days, they crossed the Arctic Circle, starting from Bergen to Kirkenes and concluding in Trondheim. The adventure began with a pre-cruise stay in Bergen and concluded with a post-stay in Trondheim, all meticulously planned by us. Some guests even opted to continue their magical journey on to Oslo.
We specifically selected 2025 for this trip due to it being a peak Northern Lights cycle, ensuring an extraordinary celestial experience.
Spring Break 2024
Caribbean Cruise - March 2024
We had the pleasure of taking 20 guests on an extraordinary MSC cruise to the Caribbean over spring break. This sun-kissed adventure included visits to the vibrant destinations of Belize, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and the breathtaking MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve. Together, we sailed amidst azure waters and lush landscapes.
Our guests enjoyed the privilege of exclusive, private excursions and delightful events onboard, all thoughtfully planned to enhance their experience and create unique, memorable moments.
Girls Celebration Trip
Virgin Voyages Cruise - October 2023
To celebrate our owner Laura's birthday in style, we organized an unforgettable Virgin Voyages girls' trip, filled with laughter, fun, and cherished moments. This extraordinary escape took place aboard one of Virgin Voyages' vibrant ships, cruising to the beautiful destination of Key West. To make the trip even more special, we added unique touches throughout the journey and orchestrated a one-of-a-kind excursion in Key West.
