The best education occurs when you travel.
As an educator, this is something I share often with my students and their parents.


Experience breathtaking landscapes. Savor fresh, tantalizing cuisine. Connect with people whose worldviews challenge and inspire you. Walk among the ruins of ancient civilizations and creatively communicate with communities whose languages are new to your ears. Wander vibrant cities, discovering their rhythms and hidden treasures. Along the way, you’ll celebrate the differences that make cultures unique and cherish the common threads that bind us all.


At Emerald Moments Travel, this spirit of exploration is at the heart of what we do. The emerald, with its rich green hue, symbolizes growth, renewal, and prosperity. As you travel, you grow—individually, relationally, and spiritually—enriching your life and the lives you touch. Like the rare and precious emerald, each journey creates memories that shine brighter with time, transforming the way you see the world and yourself.

Cruising is our niche...

...but its not the only thing we do.

Cruising is a great way to experience the world. Your hotel and restaurants move with you as you awaken each day in a new city to explore. Cruises also offer a great option for getting the most luxury for your budget, many times including food and lodging. Some cruise lines include beverage packages and exciting excursions.


Choosing a cruise also can be an excellent choice for people of all ages, offering specialized activities for children and relaxing adult-only options for parents that need a break. Vacationing on a ship also offers great support and assistance to those with limited mobility. Various cruise lines also provide a plethora of experiences from fun and playful to sophisticated and chic.


However, whether you like to be on a boat or travel the countryside by car, stay in a large city or find a secluded cabin in the woods, our team can create the right experience for you!
