About Me

Cunard at Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos
Cunard at Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos

I love being able to see many different beautiful destinations, without needing to pack and unpack your suitcase each time! I love buffets and getting fancy for dinner in the main dining room. The excursions off the ship and activities on the ship keep you busy if you want - or you can just relax and do nothing. Don't miss the talented performers in the theaters and live music throughout the ship! My favorite port stop is Grand Turk OR any private island like Perfect Day at Coco Cay. I've cruised with Royal Caribbean and Cunard, but I'd love to try them all someday! Royal Caribbean is perfect for families or anyone wanting an elevated experience. Cunard was a classy & elegant, slow-paced ship, more suited for older adults, but kids are welcome! I'd love to talk with you about cruising and find out which cruise line would be best for you!

Great Trip!
Reviewed By Phill - Panama City Beach, Florida | Traveled to Panama City | Florida | USA
If you’re looking for a travel agent who truly cares about your experience from start to finish, I cannot recommend Amanda Kostiuk highly enough. Time and time again, she has gone above and beyond to make sure our travel dreams not only come to life—but exceed expectations. What sets Amanda apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients. She doesn’t just book trips; she thoughtfully plans every detail with care, insight, and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences. No matter the destination, we always feel confident knowing she has everything handled. This year, we ran into an unexpected issue with our car rental—something that could have easily added stress and frustration to our trip. But Amanda stepped in immediately and took care of everything. Her responsiveness, problem-solving, and dedication turned what could have been a major inconvenience into a non-issue. That level of service is rare and deeply appreciated. Amanda consistently proves that she’s not just a travel agent—she’s an advocate, a planner, and a trusted partner in making memories. We are incredibly grateful for all she does and wouldn’t dream of planning a trip without her. Thank you, Amanda, for always going the extra mile!

Stress Free Traveling with Amanda!
Reviewed By MartiiLynn - International Falls, MN | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
I’ve worked with Amanda for our annual girls trip the past two years, and she absolutely knocks it out of the park every time. She handles everything — from flights to transfers — and with four of us coming from different areas, that’s no small task. She makes the entire process seamless and is such a breeze to work with. This year we had a small hiccup with one of our shuttle transfers, but I was able to quickly reach out to Amanda by email and she helped get it handled right away without any issues. Having someone that responsive while traveling makes such a difference. Highly recommend working with her if you’re planning a trip!
