Hi, I'm Michael Anderson, owner of Travel By Mike, and I believe planning a vacation should be just as enjoyable as taking one.

I founded Travel By Mike in 2019 with one simple goal: to provide honest, personalized service that takes the stress out of planning travel. Whether you're booking your first cruise, celebrating a milestone anniversary, planning a destination wedding, organizing a family vacation, or checking off a bucket-list adventure, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients create unforgettable memories around the world. I specialize in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, escorted tours, European vacations, Alaska adventures, group travel, and custom itineraries tailored specifically to each traveler's needs. I also host a variety of escorted group cruises each year, allowing my clients to enjoy the confidence and camaraderie of traveling with an experienced adviser.

What sets me apart is the level of service I provide. When you work with me, you're never just another reservation number. I take the time to understand your travel style, answer your questions, explain your options, and advocate for you before, during, and after your trip. From finding the right itinerary to handling special requests, monitoring promotions, assisting with documentation, and providing support if something unexpected happens, I'm with you every step of the journey.

I don't believe in high-pressure sales or one-size-fits-all vacations. My recommendations are based on what is best for you—not what is easiest to sell. I want every client to feel confident that they've chosen the right vacation for their budget, interests, and travel goals.

Personally, cruising is one of my greatest passions. I've sailed with many of the world's leading cruise lines and love sharing firsthand knowledge to help clients choose the perfect ship, itinerary, and cabin. Alaska remains one of my favorite destinations because of its incredible scenery and wildlife, but I'm equally passionate about the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Iceland, Northern Europe, and discovering new places around the world.

As an independent travel advisor, I have access to a wide variety of suppliers, exclusive promotions, and value-added amenities that aren't always available when booking on your own. More importantly, you gain someone who genuinely cares about your vacation and your overall experience.

My philosophy is simple: Stress Less, Travel More.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list vacation, or your next family adventure, I'd be honored to help you create memories that will last forever. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you plan your next incredible journey.
