About Me

Relax....This is Luxury
Relax....This is Luxury

Does the thought of setting sail into the sunset interest you? When you close your eyes and imagine yourself sipping your favorite drink on your private balcony, what do you see? If it's the up close and personal experience you want on an intimate yacht or small vessel, this is your time! Onboard a crowd free experience is much more intimate and social. You can expect so much more from the crew, a much more personalized experience. They are more likely to get to know you and your fellow passengers on a deeper level. Skip the Broadway style shows, kids' programs and endless watering holes, and replace it with destination driven itineraries enhanced by enriched and hosted programs and excursions. Get up close and personal with your destinations and immerse yourself in it all. From barefoot cruises to Un-Cruises to river cruising, this is the way to see the world. This is the way to combine activity, culture, expertise and unique encounters. More exclusivity, service and time to experience your destination with your fellow like-minded travelers. Is it wilderness and wildlife you are seeking, or perhaps it's history, tours & wine? Whatever your pleasure, this is the new way to see the world.

Consistent 5-Star Service!
Reviewed By Meg - Rochester, MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Jody was wonderful about providing a number of different options for our most recent trip. We were somewhat undecided about where we wanted to go, and Jody answered every question we had about different destinations. This high level of service is what we have always received from Jody - she makes planning a vacation almost as relaxing as the vacation itself. We will keep coming back to Jody because she never disappoints!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Hawaiian Honeymoon
Reviewed By Nick & Meg - Bloomington, MN | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Jody planned an absolutely perfect vacation for us! We told her we wanted a mix of adventure, relaxation, and romance and that’s exactly what we got! All of our excursions were great and we really enjoyed the tour companies we were scheduled with. She recommended fabulous restaurants and truly knew how to make the most of our time in Hawaii! We didn’t have to lift a finger which made the trip even better/easier for us! We highly recommend Jody to al of our friends and family - you can trust in her and know you’re going to have a fantastic vacation!

Great Family Vacation
Reviewed By Deb VW - Rochester MN | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Jodi, was very helpful with making our arrangements to Punta Cana as we began our booking process a little later than is ideal. She gave us 3 options to choose from and was helpful and knowledgeable about the site we picked. We would use her services again!
