About Me

If embarking on a massive ship with 8,000 other people doesn't sound appealing, then you may want to explore the world of river cruising and small-ship sailing. Unlike large ships that travel around a country, small ships navigate through a country, allowing for an intimate connection with people and places.

Personally, I have found river cruising and small ship sailing to be an exceptional way of travel. It provides a unique perspective of a country, allowing you to see it from the inside out. These vessels offer luxury, comfort, personalized attention, and cultural diversity. To date, I have been on five river cruises with AMA Waterways - the Rhine, the Danube, the Lower Danube, Paris to Normandy, the Duoro - two sailing with Atlas World Voyages - to Antarctica & Spain - Seabourn to South America and Windstar to Turkey & Greece. Each cruise was extraordinary, and I'm excited to experience more.

It's important to note that not all river cruises and small ship cruises are the same. There are expedition cruises that take you to remote areas like Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galapagos, and Iceland, where you can explore the region in rafts and get up close to the animals. Culinary and wine cruises celebrate the food and drinks of a region, while cultural immersion cruises offer lectures and visits to ancient ruins.

My role is to help you find the perfect cruise that fits you and your family's preferences. So, why not switch to small ships and try something new? I guarantee you will fall in love with the experience!

Highly Professional
Reviewed By Ash C - Austin ; TX | Traveled to Netherlands ~ Europe
We were delighted with the personal attention to detail as Sheryl planned our trips to Alaska and also to Holland ( Tulip Cruise ). She was detailed in her approach and thorough in follow up --and when we ran into snags (missed connections) she promptly jumped in and made alternate arrangements --all with one phone call.
We are happy to recommend Sheryl to you

Awesome Trip
Reviewed By Khristyn - Ridgeland, Mississippi | Traveled to Roatan ~ Honduras ~ Central America
I want to say this is my 4th trip booked with Sheryl. Out the country and stateside trips have all been a success. My recent visit to Roatan with family to celebrate their bday was amazing. As always, Sheryl was easy to talk with, gave out great recommendations and followed up with any updates needed. Can't wait to book my next adventure

Fantastic Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Aaryn - Cedar Park, Texas | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
Sheryl is not only a fantastic travel agent, but an amazing and inspiring person as well. Upon meeting her, I could tell that she had a passion for travel and that she would be a great resource.

Sheryl helped me book two trips wildly different trips, putting together details of both with ease and guided me through the many choices I had for tours, flights, hotels, and different cities to visit. It was a lot, and I definitely could not have done it without her help!

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, I was unable to make both journeys. Sheryl worked quickly and efficiently to help me obtain my refunds for all of the travel I had booked. She constantly made herself available to answer all of my unending questions and made sure that I understood my options, and what was going on which I truly appreciate!

I will definitely use Sheryl's travel services in the future - she's an amazing resource and treasure to the travel community and I am glad to have found her!

Felt Like Being In A Wildlife Documentary
I was privilege to work with Sheryl Baker from Your Passport to Travel for and unforgettable journey to Kenya. In working with Sheryl to plan the trip, her expertise and dedication were evident. She meticulously crafted an itinerary ensuring that we had the most enriching and immersive experience possible. Our safaris were extraordinary, offering us breathtaking encounters with majestic giraffes, elusive leopards and cheetahs , lions, majestic rhinos, and hippos: the list goes on and on. Each day felt like a page out of a wildlife documentary, and it was all thanks to Sheryl's meticulous planning. Sheryl and her team's attention to detail ensured that from the moment we left home until we returned, our Kenyan expedition was a magical experience that exceeded our wildest dreams. Your Passport to Travel and Sheryl Baker truly delivered an exceptional journey that will remain in our memories forever.

A Graduation Trip of A Lifetime!
Sheryl Baker helped to make our trip one we will remember and share with our future generations of family. Sheryl is customer centric. She listens, she asks questions and then comes back with options that fit your needs exactly. Our safari trip far exceeded my expectations and was worth more than the dollar amount spent. We spent time in Kenya and Tanzania. All accommodations were first class and our guides were fabulous! All connections and transfers well planned and smooth. She worked directly with a company to create a custom experience for us which all my friends tell me they wish they would have had when they went on safari. I highly recommend working with Sheryl and have referred customers to her already!
