, Destination : Antarctica
The experience of the Antarctica cruise was unforgettable. Luxury and concern were the hallmarks of the cruise company and KareVoyage who made all the travel arrangements under the superbly watchful eye of Shefali Jain Mishra must be commended for no detail being too small for their attention and no want being too large for them to handle.
Shefali's warmth had the right blend of making you feel independent yet not taking her eye off the ball as seniors do need and expect. All in all KareVoyage is highly recommended for seniors' travel.

You had made very sincere effort to make this trip a memorable experience which indeed it was. The planning and execution were commendable. What impressed me was the way you took care of the elderly and those who needed some support. The tour was paced well to take into account the age group and you had also ensured that those who were fit did have activities to keep them engaged like the morning trek for bird watching and the visit to a tribal house at the Gir resort.
, Destination: Mediterranean Cruise ( Spain, Italy, Monaco, France)
We my husband Ranjit and I went on a Mediterranean Cruise with KareVoyage. Wonderfully arranged and with superb shore excursions at all places . The itinenary was well planned covering most places of interest and the choice of guides was spot on. Finally at Barcelona we had a surprise package of Flamenco dance, dinner on the side walk, visits to winery and medieval quaint towns around Barcelona. It was not just a pleasure tour but also a fantastic learning experience because of the guides. They took great care and went out of their way to see we were comfortable. We highly recommend KaraVoyage . Do go with KareVoyage and you are sure to come back with stars in your eyes. All the best.
