About Me

Sun, sea, and Disney Cruise Line
Sun, sea, and Disney Cruise Line

Hi! I’m Brandi Parker, a Certified Travel Associate (CTA), full-service Travel Advisor, and cruise-loving planner who knows there’s nothing quite like the joy of waking up in a new port—whether it’s kissed by ocean spray or nestled along a winding river.

I’ve sailed across all the major ocean cruise lines, including Disney Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival—across multiple ship classes and itineraries. From festive Caribbean getaways to elegant Mediterranean voyages and Alaska explorations, I’ve helped match travelers with ships that suit their travel style, budget, and dream destinations.

But the adventure doesn’t stop at sea. I’ve also helped many clients plan unforgettable river cruise journeys with top-tier brands like Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, and Uniworld. Whether it’s a romantic Danube Christmas market cruise, a springtime tulip tour through the Netherlands, or a wine-themed Rhine sailing, I’ve worked closely with clients to curate extraordinary, immersive river cruise experiences packed with local flavor and cultural discovery.

As your Ocean & River Cruise Specialist, I offer:

  • Expert matching to the ideal cruise line, ship, itinerary, and stateroom
  • ?? Pre- and post-cruise planning (flights, hotels, transfers)
  • ?? Shore excursion advice—both guided and independent
  • ?? Dining and entertainment planning tips
  • ?? Access to promotional perks, limited-time offers, and exclusive extras

Whether you’re dreaming of:

  • A luxe adults-only ocean cruise with fine dining and private beach clubs
  • A multigenerational sailing with built-in fun for all ages
  • A river cruise that blends history, wine, castles, and cozy charm

I’m here to take the guesswork out of planning and help you embark with confidence, excitement, and ease.

I’m also a Certified Autism Travel Professional, which means I’m trained to support travelers with sensory sensitivities, ensuring more inclusive and comfortable cruise experiences for neurodiverse families and individuals.

Cruising is about more than just travel—it’s about connection, discovery, and unforgettable memories. Let’s find the perfect voyage for you.

Great first cruise experience, we are now hooked!
Reviewed By HappyCruiser1 - Fredericksburg, Virginia | Traveled to Caribbean
Brandi is very professional and is quick to reply to questions or concerns. This was my first cruise, so I wasn't sure what to expect. She was able to provide me with enough information to make me feel informed and comfortable but not too much information to overwhelm me. She is attentive and anticipated many needs before we even voiced them. I would definitely recommend her planning expertise to anyone.

Canada/Alaska trip
Reviewed By DJP - Punxsutawney, PA | Traveled to Banff | Alberta | Canada
Brandi was very helpful planning a trip to Banff then boarding the Rocky Mountaineer to Vancouver to board an Alaskan Cruise to Fairbanks. I planned a lot of my vacation but decided to ask Brandi for help. She gave her expertise and suggested things that I hadn’t thought about, like a shuttle from Calgary to Banff. She reminded me of deadlines and gave an organized itinerary of each part of the trip. I recommend Brandi to anyone planning a vacation and I expect to use her on future trips.
Brandi Parker responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! ? I loved helping you bring your adventure together — from Banff to the Rocky Mountaineer, and then onward to your Alaskan Cruise! What an unforgettable journey. I’m so glad my suggestions and reminders helped make things smoother so you could focus on the fun. Knowing you’re already thinking of future travels means the world to me, and I can’t wait to help you plan your next incredible getaway."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
