Cruise and Group Travel Specialist

After going on a wonderful family vacation brilliantly planned by a travel advisor, I felt an undeniable pull towards the profession. My clientele is largely comprised of mature millennials and older individuals who have grown weary of standard travel options. These clients want more, whether it’s an exclusive suite or a personalized land tour, and many travel with their teenage children or groups of friends. I love curating trips that immerse travelers in their surroundings, propelling them from mere spectators to active participants. This can range from preset journeys to tailored experiences, brimming with historical, cultural, and adventurous experiences. For cruises, I love organizing trips that offer numerous port and minimal sea days. My goal is to discover and fulfill my clients’ dream vacation. This commitment ensures that when wanderlust grips my clients, I'm poised with the right knowledge to guide them to their perfect travel match.

    {Fantastic Paris & Normandy River Cruise
    Reviewed By Marianne F - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to France ~ Europe
    Erika Bodwell was the wonderful travel agent who arranged our recent river cruise which went from Paris to Normandy and back. We had never river cruised before, and Erika held our hand through the whole process. She is a very well-informed agent who totally understood our needs as older travelers. She helped us find a river cruise that was financially appropriate and perfectly suited to our interests. Erika was fun to work with and easy to talk to. I highly recommend seeking her advice and guidance if you are interested in traveling conveniently and comfortably with many opportunities to learn about our world
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Italy trip of a lifetime
    Reviewed By Bonnie M - Deltona, Florida | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
    “My husband and I planned a trip to Italy with Erika. We went at the end of April and took my mom, who is a healthy 83-year-young woman! I explained to Erika what we all wanted to do and see and left the rest up to her. With a few tweaks to our itinerary we set off to Italy! What Erika put together for us was absolutely amazing! From the hotel stays, private tours, and train transfers, I did not have to worry about one thing, except for having fun and relishing in the beauty around us! It was such a special trip with my mom and husband and the memories we made will last a very long time.

    Erika is so easy to work with and stressed over and over that she is a phone call away for any questions. Thank you Erika for knowing what we wanted and getting it done for us. We wouldn't have changed a thing.”
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
