Excellent trip. You both did a great job! Thank you
Wonderful adventure! Details are everything and it all went so well. And thanks for having distilled water delivered to our stateroom!
Best cruise ever! Look forward to another!
It was a pleasure dealing with Coggin Travels. You were right on top of everything for this trip. We would definitely book with you again. Was also a pleasure meeting and spending time with Jeff and Cindy.
Awesome trip with excellent phone apps from AMA and Coggin travel to plan and execute the many excursions on the River cruise. Flights and airport transfers and hotels for pre-and post-Wine cruise adventures were also fantastic.
It was a blast! The Rhine cruise had great excursions; the food was phenomenal; the wine was great; and the entertainment and activities were so much fun. It was a fabulous cruise!
Thank you, Jeff & Cindy…..our first river cruise experience was perfect!!!
We had an amazing time and thought that Coggin Travel did an amazing job planning and sharing information. Well done!
Being my first river boat cruise, I found the trip to be amazing! Thank you!
It was a seamless trip and we look forward to working with Coggin Travels again!
Having dinners with all the group members was a nice touch
Jeff and Cindy kept everyone apprised of activities and changes in plans onboard. They were on top any issues that occurred.
The boat was new and beautiful, the kitchen was fabulous, all the personnel were highly professional and friendly, evening entertainment was varied and high quality, and most of the on-shore excursion guides were very good. The itinerary was somewhat dependent upon current water levels in the Rhine.
Jeff and Cindy you were amazing. I have already recommended your services. Can't wait to travel with you again.
Loved everything about it!
You exceeded my expectations re: making this trip run without a hitch
The trip was everything we anticipated and more. Cindy took care of everything for us...it was a trip of a lifetime with my son and a long lasting memory for the book!
Cindy fielded many calls and questions throughout our planning of the trip. She was always available. She provided significant information that made our trip enjoyable and very easy.
It was awesome! I would highly recommend.
My husband and I just completed an AMA river cruise with Coggin‘s travel. Jeff and his wife, Cindy were superb- totally engaged and helpful with all trip details, every tour and the Wine learning experience itself! Jeff is a sommelier as well. Highly recommend Coggin travel and we will use them again!!
Jeff and Cindy Coggin are really fabulous travel agents! I can't say enough about how great the Grand France trip I planned with them was. It included two river cruises and several guided tours, including a trip viewing Chateaus in the Loire Valley. Their attention to detail is amazing. One of the first mornings on the cruise from Paris to Normandy Cindy asked how I slept. I just casually mentioned I couldn't sleep because the engine noise was so loud. I realized I made a mistake taking a cabin in the back of the boat. Before I knew it, she contacted Jeff and he changed my stateroom in the wine tasting cruise (next cruise) to one toward the front! I will never travel again without planning with them.
We just returned from a great trip to Spain and France. Jeff and Cindy arranged the entire trip aboard the AMA Waterways ship Dolce. The pre-cruise in Spain took us to Bilbao and St. Sebastian. The cruise was in Bordeaux. The food, wine (especially the wine) was great. Jeff did a couple classes on how to evaluate wine and there were numerous wine tastings. I can highly recommend Coggin Travels to everyone. This was our fourth trip with Coggin Travels and we depart on our fifth one the day after Christmas.
Every detail was planned out perfectly and when I would find a new excursion or restaurant they were extremely helpful in planning out the details to incorporate any extra things we found to do.
We initially started planning our weeklong Sicily trip for our group of seven (7) on our own. We had not been to Sicily before, so we had no contacts (e.g., guides, boat operators, property companies) and were researching things from scratch.
In speaking with Cindy Coggin at Coggin Travels, Cindy said, “why aren’t you asking me to help.” It was a very timely and good question!
Cindy's knowledge and expertise were were instrumental in helping us select our initial European river cruise. The cruise line and itinerary were perfect for us, and I would highly recommend utilizing Cindy's guidance for future trips. This was our first time taking a river cruise. We enjoyed the history, culture and food in the South of France. Cindy your description and experience helped us enjoy a great time and alleviate any concerns we had traveling to France. Thank you so much for all your time. We truly appreciate your service in setting up a special vacation.
My wife and I just returned from an incredible cruise around Italy with Coggin Travels. Jeff and Cindy Coggin were fantastic hosts and they do everything first class. Highly recommend!!!
We had the trip of a lifetime to Italy and Croatia! Many thanks to Jeff and Cindy for arranging the itinerary, and guidance on great wines!!
Cindy was fantastic! Very attentive to our questions. quick to respond, and had great suggestions for our accommodations!! First time cruiser on Virgin! I have been only on two others which was a Disney Cruise out of Orlando and a Carnival cruise out of Los Angeles.
My husband and I met Cindy & Jeff Coggins on our first cruise, and since that time their travel expertise has allowed us to enjoy several more wonderful trips. They truly go the extra mile to be certain your travel experience is worry free and nothing but pleasurable. We have recommended them to many of our friends and acquaintances and would personally use no one else for planning our trips.
I've used Coggin Travels twice and they provide excellent recommendations, prompt responses, great followup before, during and after the trip. I highly recommend Jeff and his team for any travel assistance you might need.
We worked with Coggin Travels to arrange many of our trip details to Athens, Mediterranean Sea and Spain this Fall and we received top notch service. We were given excellent suggestions on where to stay and we were highly satisfied with the hotel selections. We would not have found the fantastic Athens hotel on our own. They recommended Globus for our Spain tour and we were very happy with the itinerary and tour director. We worked closely with Jeff Coggin who was terrific about following up and keeping us informed from our first call to the conclusion of our trip. Mid trip we found a need for some assistance and Jeff picked the phone right up and gave us great advice. Our trip would not have been as successful without Jeff’s knowledge and attention to our needs. Thank you Jeff and Coggin Travels. We highly recommend your services to anyone who is planning to travel. You’ll find working with a professional like Jeff will add more value to your travel experiences.

“We had an absolutely wonderful time on our river cruise set up by Jeff & Cindy Coggin. It was so helpful to have them make all the transfer arrangements ahead of time - and then, due to a last minute change on the embarkment town, they canceled the existing ones and scheduled new ones. We would not have had a clue how to do that on our own. They took care of every single detail and responded very quickly to any of our concerns before and during the trip. I would high recommend them.”
