The first time, she sent me on a once in a lifetime Tahitian cruise aboard the Paul Gaugain. I woke up every day at a new island that looked and felt like paradise. I am well-traveled and believe that Bora Bora is heaven on earth. Very recently, Cathy sent me to Beaches in Negril. I was pleasantly surprised by the kind staff everywhere I went. I always wanted to get dive certified and the staff at Beaches helped me with that.
It would be a mistake in my opinion not to call Cathy for your next vacation. She has 37 years of travel experience that can make your vacation memorable. Cathy has valuable knowledge that you just wouldn’t know about if you booked travel by yourself."

"I have attended a few vacations booked by Cathy with my family in the past, and thought that those experiences could not be surpassed until I worked with Cathy myself. My boyfriend and I just got back from what was truly the best vacation of my life, and that's all thanks to Cathy! With her expert opinions and skills in planning our vacation, we were able to really sit back and relax as she planned everything seamlessly for us. I couldn't have asked for anything more from her services and was beyond impressed with her communication skills throughout the process.
Cathy did everything in her power to make this the best trip for us, and she did so with flying colors. I wouldn't even think of booking another vacation without her. Her friendly personality and willingness to help were just the cherry on top to the excellent service we received with Travel by the Sea LLC. If you haven't booked with her yet - you're truly missing out on making your vacation one in a million!"

"The trip was fabulous – better than we ever imagined it would be! Our bus driver, Pasquale was delightful and our guides, Roberto and the local guides that we had were excellent....I’m including Fr. Mike & Fr. Dan with them also as they added so much to the spiritual aspects of the presentations, in addition to local highlights and historical facts, and making sure none of their flock ever got lost! Such a thrill to see Pope Francis and to be present for Matt’s ordination and to go on the special tour of the Scavi Excavations tour that he arranged for us! The tours provided us with a perfect blend of city & country life. Of course, we were so fortunate to be traveling with such a lovely and amiable group.
The weather was perfect so we were very happy it worked out that we could be in Italy this time of the year....so pleasant! We kept up a very busy pace but got to see and experience so much.
Pat & I want to thank you for all the planning you did to make this such a wonderful experience. Spiritually and educationally it was exceptional...and it was so much fun! Once again I have to mention our fearless leader Roberto was informative, flexible, good natured and patient. He’s a gem!"

"We have been extremely impressed by the thoroughness and insight that Cathy uses in preparing our excursions (whether big or small). She pays great attention to the smallest details, personalizes every trip, and saves us valuable time and money.
Cathy stays in contact with us right up until we leave, makes herself available while we are there, and follows up with us when we get back. Cathy’s attentiveness to her clients is exemplary and very hard to find with most travel agencies. It is with the utmost sincerity that we highly recommend anyone to utilize Cathy for “any” travel “anywhere” around the world!
You won’t find anyone else who takes care of you the way she does. She puts great energy and enthusiasm into each of the plans as if it were her own trip and her money. We look forward to working with Cathy and By the Sea Travel for many, many, more years/vacations to come."

I have used By The Sea Travel for several family vacations, and have had wonderful experiences with each trip. Our agent was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and offered a wide range of activities and accommodations to fit our particular budget for each trip. It was especially helpful that our agent had been to these places and knew from her own personal experiences the quality and value of her recommendations. We will use By The Sea Travel for all our future travel plans!

Cathy at By The Sea Travel has booked several cruises for us, including Caribbean and Alaskan trips. Thanks to her excellent service, all trips were most enjoyable and trouble-free. Cathy goes the extra mile to make sure all the details are taken care of, there are no surprise charges, and the cruise exceeds expectations. We've even had chocolate-covered strawberries awaiting us in our cabin! We can't wait for our next trip!
