Take time to experience the destination
I specialize in thoughtfully designed cruise and European travel experiences tailored to each client’s individual goals, preferences, and travel style. With a detail-driven and relationship-focused approach, I help travelers navigate the many choices available and create journeys that feel seamless, well-paced, and meaningful.
From ocean and river cruises to immersive European land itineraries, I focus on strategic planning, trusted supplier partnerships, and attentive coordination from start to finish. My role is to simplify the process, anticipate logistics, and ensure each element works together cohesively.
Whether planning a milestone celebration, a multi-generational trip, or a carefully curated European journey, I provide steady guidance and personalized service so clients can travel with clarity, confidence, and ease.

Cyndee Knows Her Stuff and Is Always There
Reviewed By Russ - Maui, HI | Traveled to Israel ~ Middle East
For many many years I arranged all our own travel plans. One day though, on a Facebook site, Cyndee responded to someone who had posted. I liked what she said and how she said it. So, I decided to see if I would like to work with a travel agent. Cyndee booked a cruise we just took last month and has us on three other upcoming cruises. She’s already gotten us extras that I would not have known about. Cyndee is very communicative and quick to respond. Plus, she’s just a happy person!

"Mahalo Russ and Viola!
You continue to be such a joy to connect with and I love your recent travel photos. Knowing you have traveled so extensively and trust me with your plans is a huge blessing. I want to create many more opportunities for the two of you to experience this world and to bring you joy too!

Literal Travel Superhero!
Reviewed By Melanie - Orlando, Orange, Florida, USA | Traveled to Colorado Springs ~ Colorado ~ USA
I have had to reschedule my trip to Jamaica two times! First I got covid the day before my trip and second I ended up in the hospital the night before my trip. Literally crazy!!! But Cyndee was able to help me out both times so that I didn't waste my money. She got me travel credit so now I'm going to Colorado instead 🤣Cyndee has got your back no matter what happens.
Cyndee Vanderford responded
"I'm thrilled you will be able to travel to Colorado for your sisters' wedding. Just a heads up: I created a group to Jamaica in November and I think third time will be a charm for you this time!
See you there!

Cannot Recommend Send Me Cyndee Enough!!!
Reviewed By Alex - Orlando, Orange, Florida, USA | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Cyndee will absolutely slay as your travel agent. I have personally seen her take on the burden of all her clients unexpected travel woes like fricken Iron(wo)man. She works tirelessly to ensure her clients KNOW that she has their back when away from home. Cannot recommend enough 11/10??
Cyndee Vanderford responded
"You are a ROCK STAR yourself! I know it was hard having to reschedule your travel twice and it's a joy to know you will finally be going soon. ? Your next adventure awaits you and it will be incredible too!

My Travel Stories
Experiencing Northern Europe: Coastal Towns, Canal
One of the things I love most about cruising is discovering places I might not have chosen on my own — and then realizing they end up being some of the most memorable stops of the trip.This sailing began in Southampton, England, and took us along the coasts of Belgium, France, and the Channel Islands. Each stop had its own personalit...

Mediterranean Cruise Celebration: Exploring Europe
Standing along the Amalfi Coast with a group of close friends celebrating my husband Scott’s 60th birthday, it struck me how special travel moments become when they’re shared. For many in our group, this Mediterranean cruise was their very first time visiting Europe — and watching them experience these incredible destinations for the first time ...
