170 - Think river cruising in France means the Seine? Think again. In this episode of Travel Inspired, hosts and travel agents Rob & Kerri Stuart take you along on a seven-day journey down one of Europe's most overlooked — and most rewarding — waterways: the Rhône River in southern France.

Let us help you with your next vacation

From the Van Gogh-painted streets of Arles to the Roman grandeur of Avignon, the UNESCO-listed Pont du Gard aqueduct, and the snow-dusted vineyards of Tain-l'Hermitage, every port stop on this iconic south-to-north itinerary offers something unforgettable. And it all culminates in Lyon — the gastronomic capital of France and a city that deserves far more than a quick stopover.

Rob and Kerri share firsthand experiences from two separate Rhône River cruises (first with AmaWaterways in 2014, and most recently with luxury boutique line Uniworld), offering honest insight into what makes this itinerary so special — and who it's perfect for.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Lyon deserves extra days at the end of your cruise
• Who this cruise is ideal for — couples, empty nesters, foodies, and beyond

083 - On this show Rob and Kerri give you some ideas for traveling in your local area. You will learn about some things to consider doing in your own backyard as the country starts reopening. There are activities like festivals, concerts, dining, and even stay-cation ideas to help you ease back in to travel. Plus it is a good way to support your local economy and businesses.

A lot of what determines when, if and where you travel is based on where you live.  Florida has been one of the most open states in the country, so Floridians are more used to post shut down travel.

If you live in a state that still has crazy shut downs in place, you may have a different view.  You may be a little more reluctant to travel. 

The goal of this show is to get people that have not traveled to "dip their toe" in travel.  Start locally, and then Regionally, Nationally and then eventually Internationally.

Another goal is to help support the local businesses in your area.  They really need you now more than ever!

Plus, learn about one large, well known cruise line that may decide to not sail from Florida because of the latest news around vaccine passports in Florida.

Ron Desantis, the Florida Governor has taken a stand on requiring proof of a Covid vaccination. 

Who will back down first?

Since then they have been on a total of 30 cruises on 12 different cruise lines and have spent 159 nights at sea.

On this episode they tackle two very important questions:

1) Why take a cruise. Spoiler alert...it's the best way to experience multiple places without having to pack and repack each time

2) How to choose the right cruise line, and even the right ship in that cruise line.

From mass market cruise lines like Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, & Norwegian Cruise line, learn how they are different and why you may want to choose one over the other.

Another cruise line to add to this conversation is MSC Cruise lines.  Very European style, and not that well known in America.

This is part 1 of 4, so make sure you tune in next week to episode #79 as they share what you need to know about Luxury Cruising and why it may be a better value.
