Travelers recognized Aurora Cruises and Travel as one of the most reliable travel agencies during the COVID-19 travel shutdown.

We helped hundreds of our (and not ours!) travelers to return home safely when countries closed their borders.

When travel is back, our clients return to us with their friends and family. As a result, we must be careful when accepting new business. That is why we don’t have a choice as pre-screen travelers before investing our time and efforts in their vacations.
