Our Alaska adventure was truly the trip of a lifetime, and Mayurika S. Sheth with Expedia Cruises - Tigard played a major role in making it such a memorable experience.
This was actually the second major trip Mayurika has planned for us. In 2024, she helped organize our European adventure through the Czech Republic, Belgium, Ireland, and Scotland. After the care and attention she gave that trip, we trusted her again to help us create an unforgettable journey through Alaska--and once again, she delivered.
From the very beginning, Mayurika worked closely with us to develop a personalized itinerary that reflected exactly what we wanted from our Alaska experience. She listened to our ideas, offered thoughtful recommendations, and worked back and forth with us until the trip included the right combination of trains, cruises, wildlife, glaciers, fishing, dog sledding, sightseeing, and time to simply enjoy the beauty of Alaska.
Our journey took us from Anchorage to Seward, Talkeetna, Denali, and Fairbanks, with a new adventure waiting at every destination. We saw whales, sea lions, puffins, eagles, moose, glaciers, and some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable. The wildlife encounters were among the greatest highlights and gave us memories we will talk about for years.
Like any major adventure, the trip included a few unexpected challenges and changes. What impressed us most was that Mayurika stayed in contact with us throughout the entire journey. She made sure we received the most current information from her suppliers, helped us stay informed about schedules and transportation, and was available when hotel or travel issues arose. We never felt as though we had simply been handed an itinerary and forgotten once the trip began.
Her communication, follow-through, and genuine concern for our experience gave us confidence throughout the journey. She helped us navigate the good, the bad, and even a little of the ugly, while keeping our focus on enjoying the fun and adventure around us.
After working with Mayurika on both our 2024 European trip and our 2026 Alaska adventure, we can confidently say that she takes the time to understand her clients and create experiences that feel personal rather than packaged. Her patience, attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to her travelers are why we continue to trust her with these important journeys.
We highly recommend Mayurika S. Sheth and Expedia Cruises - Tigard to anyone looking for a travel agent who will carefully personalize a trip, remain engaged throughout the journey, and genuinely care about the experience her clients receive. We are already looking forward to seeing where she helps us travel next! read more
