Once we booked and were connected to our travel coordinator, Alison, the whole process went very smoothly. Our travel coordinator always answered her phone and was able to answer our specific questions and handle any concerns/issues that arose. It was very nice to speak directly with someone who understood our needs and was accommodating.
We loved the itinerary as well as the educational experience on board. This was our first adventure on Atlas cruises and we were very pleased with the comfort of our suite and the size of the ship in general. The staff of the ship were helpful, pleasant, and very hard working. The variety and quality of the food was excellent.
The travel experts on board were always attentive and helpful.
Overall we were extremely pleased with our cruise and are very happy we chose to travel on this very special journey with Gohagan. Hopefully, we can experience additional adventures with Gohagan in the future.

Wonderful! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the ship, lectures and guides. Thank you for letting us know. We look forward to traveling with you again!
The people with Gohagan were wonderful! Our booking/pre-trip period was over the holidays and I had inadvertently let some decisions slip by. They stayed on top of us so we made the appropriate decisions for our excursions before it was made for us. Then when we were in hilly Lisbon, a staff member arranged for me with poor knees and another traveler (using a Rollator because of recent, unexpected surgery) to take a taxi to a traditional dinner everyone else was taking the bus to get to. That bus trip in the narrow streets would have necessitated a half block walk uphill (and downhill going home which is the worst for bad knees) to enter the restaurant. And when we offered to pay he said don't worry about it. So very thoughtful all around! What they don't tell you in the brochure about rating the difficulty of the "hikes" is that they are used to having people with canes and have incorporated "relaxed walks" into the choices which made it possible for me to see alot more than I thought I would be able to and not get left behind nor feel like I was slowing down the group. Just professional, thoughtful people who never showed any frustration or irritation with a situation.

Inconsistent support. Males were preferred. I am referring to defective water bottles. I requested assistance and was told to ask ship staff. A male friend asked for assistance and was immediately given a new bottle by gohagan.
Overall, not worth the hefty price tag. I do not recommend.

We are very sorry to see your one-star review, and apologize that the trip did not meet your expectations. We regret that the ship’s water bottle was defective and hope the replacement was all in order.
First, events were canceled that were advertising the pre-trip of Rome. This bothered us a lot. Local guides that were hired or not as knowledgeable as on our other trips. There are two guides that were very good, but the rest were not.
Another reason, my husband wanted to go on this trip was to hear more about the Italian invasion by Allied troops. But Mr. Eisenhower got off on tangent, and talked way more about other things. It was clear his knowledge of this area was not sufficient.
The GOHAGEN tour directors on our ship were not very helpful. Seem to be an extraneous cost. The Canadian Tours Director, a male, I can’t think of his name, didn’t seem to do anything on the cruise. He said he had over 30 years of experience. I have no idea what he did to help.
Even though the world traveler was a beautiful ship, the service and food was well below our expectations.

We are sorry that this trip fell short of your expectations. Our office already reached out to your husband directly to apologize for disappointment that you felt.
On board speakers. Tour guides on excursions. Ease of travel because of excellent coordination of buses. The Gohagan trip directors were experienced, helpful, organized and knowledgeable.

The trip was spectacular. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful going out of their way to assist us. The boat crew was very friendly and the kitchen crew did a wonderful job. The region was beautiful and I have recommended this trip to all my family and friends.

Before the trip was good. Staff on boat was not organized. Had difficulty dealing with lady with Hawaiian hat. She was disrespectful and disruptive. Had problems with times for activities.one day we had 4 guides on a tour . The last few days people stopped going on tours. Very confusing.

We apologize for the delay in responding to your comment; we were investigating what happened on board. The reviews for this program have been so positive, and no one seems to have experienced disorganization on board. However, we want to sincerely apologize for any rudeness you may have experienced; that is, of course, unacceptable. Thank you for traveling with us and for sharing your feedback.
The cruise staff, Rudy, Dragon, Celeste, & Teresa were all excellent. Very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. All crew members were outgoing, helpful and attentive. We were extremely pleased with our whole cruise experience with Wind Star and will travel with you again. Thanks.
