Hey there fellow travelers! 👋 We’re Robert and Erika Novak, the couple behind Novak Travel—and more importantly, lifelong cruise lovers. Over the years, we’ve explored the seas from the sunny Caribbean to the majestic coastlines of Alaska, and we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a cruise truly unforgettable.
If you’ve been craving a vacation that’s easy to plan, full of variety, and offers serious bang for your buck—let us make the case for why your next getaway should be a cruise. And why Novak Travel is the perfect partner to help you set sail.
A Cruise Combines Everything You Want in a Vacation
A cruise isn’t just one type of vacation—it’s several vacations wrapped into one. You get ocean views, tropical beaches, onboard entertainment, fine dining, and new destinations every day—all without lifting a finger once you’re onboard.
Imagine this:
- You board in Miami, Galveston, or Long Beach…
- Unpack once in your comfortable cabin…
- Wake up in Cozumel, spend the day snorkeling…
- Then tomorrow? It’s Grand Cayman or Mahogany Bay…
All while enjoying incredible meals, drinks, shows, and activities on the ship each night.
It’s stress-free, endlessly exciting, and way more affordable than planning each part separately.
The Best Destinations—Right From Your Backyard
You don’t need to fly overseas to experience postcard-worthy views. Cruises sailing from U.S. ports give you access to some of the most breathtaking and bucket list-worthy places on Earth—without needing a passport (on many sailings).
Some of our favorite itineraries for clients (and for ourselves!) include:
- Western Caribbean: Think Jamaica, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. Sun, sand, and adventure.
- Eastern Caribbean: Featuring stops like St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas.
- Mexican Riviera: From Los Angeles or San Diego to Cabo, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta.
- Alaska: Departing from Seattle or Vancouver, with stops at glaciers, fjords, and incredible wildlife.
And yes, many lines now have private islands like Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay or Carnival’s New Celebration Key—offering beach clubs, waterparks, and a totally relaxed vibe.
Cruise Planning Can Be Overwhelming—That’s Where We Come In
We’ve cruised often, and we’ve helped hundreds of clients do the same. We know which ships are best for families, couples, first-timers, or seasoned cruisers. We know how to score the best cabins, where the hidden gems are onboard, and how to help you get more value for your vacation dollars.
Here’s what working with Novak Travel gets you:

- Help choosing cabins (not all balconies are created equal!)
- Insider tips on dining packages, drink plans, and shore excursions
- Access to exclusive offers, upgrades, and group perks
