About Me

Tibet - Incredible!!
Tibet - Incredible!!

I have had a lifelong passion for travel, beginning with countless family road trips exploring scenic destinations. That early love of adventure led me to pursue a career in the industry, and in 1995 I graduated from the Travel and Tourism program at Mount Royal College. Soon after, I founded my agency, Hooked on Travel, where I’ve been helping clients create unforgettable experiences ever since.

Over the years, I have specialized in multi-generational, family, and luxury travel, designing seamless journeys that bring people together. My own extensive travels have taken me to all seven continents, giving me firsthand knowledge and insight that I bring to every itinerary I plan.

Today, I focus primarily on Viking River and Ocean Cruises, an area where I offer exceptional expertise. Having spent over 900 days onboard Viking ships - including two World Cruises - I provide clients with a depth of experience that is truly unmatched. In recognition of this, I was honored to receive a Viking ship plaque from the Viking Neptune.

I am passionate about delivering exceptional travel experiences, from the initial planning stages through to your return home. With my knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, I look forward to creating a journey that exceeds your expectations.

She brought peace to our chaos!!
Reviewed By Moe - Calgary | Traveled to
We had some special requests (seat for my daughter and her car seat, I was flying out one day my husband a few weeks latter and all returning together etc.) and Karyn not only fulfilled our requests but gave us numerous options and ideas. She had lots of helpful tips about traveling with babies and was over all kind and knowledgeable. Then when life threw us a curve ball and we had to cancel, Karyn never made us feel like we were an inconvenience at all and worked tirelessly to get us a refund and make sure we were taken care of. I will use Karyn for all further travel (and we do a fair bit :) ) and recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional service.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Extremely helpful!
Reviewed By Carlene - Strathmore ab | Traveled to
Karyn has booked multiple trips for me and if I've ever had issues with my trip she has helped me plan around the issues that pop up to still make it a stress free trip. Even if I'm overseas and something happens she's an email away ready to assist. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends or family and will continue to use her as an agent so long as she continues to be one.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
