European River and Luxury Cruise Specialist

With 35 years of experience in the travel industry so may changes have happened.  When I started in this business there were a handful of cruise lines with just a handful of ships.  Now with the cruise industry booming there are so many different lines and ships offering the latest and greatest amenities all vying for your attention.  With my extensive knowledge of the cruise industry I will match you to the right cruise line, ship and itinerary.  My personal touch and knowledge will help make a memorable cruise vacation for you.  

I have personally cruised all over the world on the smallest ship to the largest ship. From an inside cabin to a suite on a deluxe ship.  My latest love of cruising belongs on the river. River Cruises are so popular now with many lines to choose from.   I have cruised on the Rhine, Danube and Rhone Rivers in Europe on four different river cruise lines.   Cruising through Europe visiting the small towns and villages along these rivers is a completely different experience than what is offered on the large ocean cruises that cruise around the country instead of through it.   Explore the hidden cities of Europe:  Budapest, Nuremberg, Vienna, Bamberg, Cologne, Amsterdam, Prague, Bucharest and Melk just to name a few.  These exciting cities await you with history galore and stories to be told.  Let me help you determine which line and itinerary best suits you.

With years of satisfied clients, I pride myself in knowing the wants and needs of my clients and making sure that their current trip will be the best yet! I look forward to adding you to my long list of satisfied and loyal customers.

John Lane & Cruise Escapes Will Make It All Easy!

Reviewed By Sharon & Bob - Lewisville, Texas | Traveled to Cozumel, Mexico from Galveston, Texas
John helped us on our first cruise 9 or 10 years ago. We have used Cruise Escapes every time we have sailed since. We are now "Diamond" on Royal Caribbean, and I can't imagine not having John Lane arrange all our future cruises.

We took 2 couples with us on our most recent cruise, and John took care of them just like they were longtime clients.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Thanks Sharon for the review and thank you for bringing your friends along on several cruises and introducing them to me. I appreciate your business! John

Our 50th Wedding cruise and wonderful suite.

Reviewed By Willie - Arkadelphia, Arkansas | Traveled to St. John Island ~ Virgin Islands ~ Caribbean
We started with John through traveling with a friend. We were living in Dallas and booked various cruises on different lines before settling on R.C. After moving to Arkansas John provided service by phone. We have booked 9 cruises on R.C. without a hitch. You can rely on John's advice on ports and cabin placement etc. From the planning stage thru booking, form completion and seating for dinner John made it simple to enjoy the cruise. You can't go wrong using Cruise Escapes.

Cruise Escapes Services

Reviewed By Myron - McKinney, TX | Traveled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We have used the services of John Lane at Cruise Escapes for approximately 15 cruises over a period of more than 10 years. [the review form allowed only one destination choice, but we have taken cruises to the Mediterranean, Bermuda, Mexico, the Baltics, Greek Islands, Caribbean, South America, & Transatlantic] We generally do the initial cruise planning research, but John's knowledge of the various cruise lines and ports-of-call have been very helpful in the overall planning of our cruise vacations.

Myron thanks for the review! Looking forward to another 10 years of cruises! John

North to Alaska, Princess Cruise Line style.

Reviewed By ARW - Irving, Texas | Traveled to Fairbanks ~ Alaska ~ USA
John goes above and beyond the call of duty when we call him for our next trip. He searches for the best deals and makes suggestions based on his knowledge and experience. He understands our likes and dislikes and steers us in the right direction. We have cruised with him and his wife and find them both to be delightfully fun and intelligent.

John has been our cruise guide for several years. We have been to several destinations including Hawaii, Panama, Bahamas, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Aruba, and Belize. He has always been very helpful to make sure that our routes, accommodations, and our needs aboard the ships were taken care of.

John is a valuable travel associate.

Reviewed By arttex - Wesley Chapel, Florida | Traveled to Venice ~ Italy ~ Europe
We have booked some 15 cruises through John.

I have recommended John to DFW area potential travelers as an agent providing a valuable service at no cost to the traveler. Even though we moved to Tampa three years ago, we continue to use John as he is as close as our telephone and internet. We had used John for more than five years before we moved to Tampa.

I ask little of John in the planning of our trips. I research, myself, the cruise, cabin, air connection, and price for our trips. When I call John, I am ready to make an immediate booking. Where I find John valuable is in ancillary information as, hotel locations and bookings, day and extended tours at destinations, and general services. These are the valuable details that you, generally, don't get when booking direct with providers.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
John Lane responded:
Thanks Art for the review! I appreciate your business and keeping in touch since moving to Florida! Thanks again! John

Our fabulous Galapagos Cruise

Reviewed By Cruisegal - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Galapagos Islands ~ Ecuador ~ South America
We have enjoyed John's help in choosing our cruises and getting our booking paperwork accurate and timely for over 20 years! When we first looked for a cruise travel agent, our daughter was 13. We went to all the cruise agencies in Dallas. Only John Lane at Cruise Escapes had us sit down and asked not only me but our daughter what she liked to do so he could match us to the cruise line best suited for our needs! He showed us photos of the ship interiors and cabins and helped us choose a quiet stateroom. We had a fabulous first cruise experience!
The most exotic cruise John helped us book was to the Galapagos Islands. What a fantastic and flawless experience! The ship he chose, the specific itinerary, the airfare, the hotel in Quito, and the paperwork was perfect. John always quickly called the cruise line to get any questions answered that he didn't know without making us wait. We really enjoy his vast cruise knowledge and helpfulness.

Thank you Shallen for the review! I have enjoyed planning your cruises and look forward to ones to come! John

Land safari followed by a cruise.

We have taken over 40 scheduled trips with John, by ship, land and river boat. He has consistently given us excellent travel advice, been extremely prompt in responding to any inquiries and thorough in his directions such that we have all the travel materials we need for a given trip. I cannot recommend him or the travel agency he represents strongly enough.

John Lane Review

Reviewed By Dave - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Vancouver ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
John has been my cruise agent for more than 26 years. I wouldn't consider using anyone else to book my cruises. His knowledge of the industry, ships, and destinations have served me and my wife well over the years. He is very professional and works to ensure that we have a wonderful cruise experience whenever we book. Bottom line, John is one of the best in the business, period!

The best cruise agent

Reviewed By Larry S - Lewisville, TX | Traveled to Bermuda ~ Caribbean
Have been booking cruises through John since 1985. Never found a reason to use anyone else. He is up to date, gets us the best prices, if there is a price reduction after booking, he will get the reduced price for us. Have taken at least 32 cruises and have another one booked. Have been all around N. America, including Alaska, E and W Canada, N Europe, Mediterranean, S. America, Panama Canal, many Caribbean Islands, Bahamas and Bermuda.
