All Inclusive and Cruise Travel Specialist

I have been traveling the world since I was ten years old, experiencing much of what the United States and several different countries have to offer. I have found that once you go on an amazing vacation, you catch the travel bug and have it for life!

When it comes to traveling, cruising is my favorite way to see the world. I am certified with many of the major cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Norwegian. One of my favorite trips I helped book for a client was a river cruise to Paris and Normandy for a mother and daughter. They loved it so much that they booked a second one along the Danube River in Europe.

My professional training allows me to provide my clients with the most accurate information about their options for their vacation. In addition to my cruise line expertise, I also have the following certifications:

• ASTA Verified Travel Agent

• CLIA Certified Cruise Counsellor (CCC)

• IATA Accredited Agent

• Sandals Specialist

• Royal Caribbean Master Agent

I will work with you to find the perfect fit for your interests that also works with your budget. My goal is always to make sure you have the best time at the best price. I can also help you make wonderful memories at all-inclusive resorts, theme parks, and visiting different landmarks all around the world.

I know how to customize your vacations. No two vacations should be the same. I am committed to getting to know my clients on a personal basis, and I enjoy finding unique opportunities that are catered to their own interests. For example, I can recommend one-of-a-kind excursions, such as swimming with baby sharks, to those who want to enjoy an adventurous vacation.

No matter how carefully we plan, sometimes unforeseen issues arise during your journey. I am here to help you through it all. Once, I had a client whose travel was interrupted by bad weather. I immediately worked with the vendor and the resort to make sure we could get a travel credit for her. Another time, I had a client who initially booked a cruise on their own but when they met with me, I informed them of a special offer they were missing out on. I ended up being able to waive their airfare costs and save them a lot of money.

While I love to plan vacations for every type of traveler, I am particularly passionate about working with those who want a once in a lifetime adventure. I love to showcase the travel lifestyle, helping clients enjoy the entire journey just as much as the destination.

Your adventure awaits. Contact me today to learn more about the amazing vacations that are available right now.

    Jackson's Journeys planned a perfect multi family cruise last summer. Karen thought of every detail down to the travel bag tags and communicated every step of the way. Best trip I have been on and would highly recommend Jackson's Journeys for any vacation planning.

    Karen was a pleasure to work with. She always got back with me asap. She made changes for us with ease as we requested. She got us a great SUV rental car. It was just perfect. Nice hotel in downtown close walking to restaurants and welcome center. We will use Karen again in the future.

    Reviewed By Bee - Joplin Missouri | Traveled to Negril ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
    She is top notch professional. She stayed two steps ahead of us giving us suggestions and answering questions before we knew to ask them. She made sure we could reach her with any questions the entire trip right down to return home. She definitely made the trip worry free. Oka
