About Me

Secrets Cap Cana, Punta Cana. My all time favorite
Secrets Cap Cana, Punta Cana. My all time favorite

 Hi, I’m Heather Proulx, and I believe travel should be about more than simply booking a flight and hotel—it should be about creating experiences you’ll talk about for years to come.As a travel advisor, I take pride in getting to know my clients personally so I can design vacations that truly fit who they are, what they enjoy, and what they want their trip to feel like. No two travelers are the same, and I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to travel.I specialize in cruises, river cruises, ocean cruises, group travel, destination weddings, honeymoons, romantic getaways, luxury vacations, family vacations, and unforgettable Caribbean escapes. I also love helping clients experience bucket-list destinations such as Alaska and Europe, whether that means an incredible cruise, a land-and-sea adventure, or a fully customized itinerary.One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is helping turn an idea into a real vacation. Maybe you’ve always dreamed of cruising Alaska, celebrating an anniversary at a beautiful Caribbean resort, taking a girls’ trip with your closest friends, planning a destination wedding, bringing the entire family together, or exploring Europe on a river cruise. Whatever the dream may be, I’m here to help make the planning process easier and the experience more memorable.I understand that planning a vacation can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are countless resorts, cruise lines, ships, room categories, destinations, excursions, flights, transfers, travel requirements, and details to consider. That’s where I come in. I take the time to research the options, explain the differences, and help you make informed decisions based on your priorities and budget.For my clients, my service doesn’t stop once the reservation is made. I want you to feel confident knowing that you have someone in your corner throughout the planning process. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, I’m here to help with the details so you can spend less time worrying about your vacation and more time looking forward to it.I especially love creating group travel experiences. Whether it’s a family reunion, friends’ getaway, girls’ trip, spring break group, destination wedding, or a special celebration, group travel can create memories that last a lifetime—and I love helping organize all the moving pieces that come with traveling together.I also have a special passion for cruising. I love helping travelers find the right cruise experience for them, whether they are first-time cruisers or experienced travelers looking for their next adventure. From relaxing on an ocean cruise to exploring Europe by river or combining an Alaska land tour with a cruise, I enjoy matching travelers with the itinerary, ship, accommodations, and experiences that fit them best.Most importantly, I want my clients to feel like more than a reservation number. I build relationships with the people I work with, listen to what matters to them, and strive to provide personalized service from beginning to end.Travel is an investment in experiences, memories, and time together—and I would love the opportunity to help you make the most of it.Whether you already know exactly where you want to go or you simply know that you need a vacation, let’s start planning. Tell me where you’ve been dreaming of going, and I’ll help you turn that dream into a trip you’ll never forget.

Travel Made Personal. Memories Made Unforgettable.

I believe planning your vacation should be just as exciting as taking it! I specialize in cruises, river cruises, Caribbean getaways, luxury vacations, honeymoons, destination weddings, group travel, Alaska adventures, family vacations and more. I take the time to understand what you’re looking for, match you with the right options, and handle the details from planning to your return home. My goal is to make travel easier, more personal and truly memorable. Whether you’re planning a bucket-list adventure or a much-needed getaway, let’s make your next trip one you’ll never forget!

Client Testimonials

An Incredible Journey from Paris to the Alps
Heather helped us plan an incredible Viking journey from Paris through Europe to the Swiss Alps. From the beautiful scenery and historic towns to cruising the river and experiencing the incredible destinations along the way, this was truly a trip we will never forget. Heather made the planning process easy and took care of the details so we could simply enjoy the experience. She was always available to answer our questions and made us feel confident every step of the way. If you’re considering a European river cruise, we highly recommend working with Heather to make your dream trip a reality!
Happy Viking River Cruise Travelers
Amazing Hawaii multi Island Trip
Heather planned an unforgettable multi-island Hawaii trip for us! In Oahu, we explored Waikiki Beach, hiked Diamond Head, and visited Pearl Harbor—packing two days with the perfect mix of history, adventure, and relaxation. Then we spent seven amazing days in Maui, where we drove the scenic Road to Hana, snorkeled at Molokini Crater, watched the sunrise at Haleakala, and enjoyed some of the best beaches and local cuisine. Every detail—from flights and accommodations to activities—was perfectly organized. It was truly a dream vacation, and we couldn’t have done it without Heather!

Spring Break Group Trip
Our spring break trip was absolutely amazing thanks to Heather at Gulliver’s Travel Duck Creek! From start to finish, she handled every detail — flights, resort, transportation, and even special requests for our large group. Everything went perfectly smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about a thing. Heather found us the best deals and the perfect resort for our vibe. We made unforgettable memories and can’t wait to book our next group trip with her. Highly recommend her for any vacation — she truly goes above and beyond!”
