Cruise & European Travel Specialist
I specialize in ocean and river cruises as well as thoughtfully designed European land journeys. With a strategic, detail-driven approach, I guide clients through the many options available and create travel experiences that reflect their individual style, priorities, and comfort level. From Mediterranean sailings and Alaska cruises to immersive cultural itineraries across Italy, Greece, and beyond, I focus on seamless coordination and meaningful travel experiences.
My role is to simplify complex logistics, manage supplier relationships, and provide informed recommendations that align with each client’s goals. Whether planning a milestone celebration, multi-generational trip, or a refined cruise experience, I deliver attentive service and steady guidance from the initial conversation through your return home. Travel should feel exciting and well-executed — not overwhelming — and I am committed to making that process smooth, confident, and rewarding.

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!
