Dawes Glacier as seen from my cruise ship
Hi there and welcome! I can't wait to get to know you and your unique travel dreams.
My name is Ann and I've been fortunate to have spent the last 18 years exploring over 20 different countries throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and North America, by land and sea! Now I want to share my love of travel with the world, and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
I specialize in cruises, and have not only the experience, but the industry education to support your vacation from start to finish. You can have someone in YOUR corner when navigating the world of cruising.
I’ve seen the best cabins, the most family-friendly ships, the quiet corners adults love, and the ports worth coming back to again and again. My clients get straightforward guidance, clear answers, and a personalized plan that fits exactly what they need. My goal isn’t just to book a ship—it’s to help you have a vacation where everyone actually relaxes, has fun, and makes memories. If you want dining that works for picky eaters, connecting cabins for larger groups, the best beaches in port, or excursions without the stress, I can make it happen. Ready to stop stressing and start cruising? Let’s build a trip that fits your family, your budget, and your style—without the headaches.
Whether you’re:
- coordinating a family or large group
- trying to find a cabin for 5+ guests
- choosing the right ship for kids and adults
- comparing itineraries, drink packages, and ports
- or just not sure how to begin…
I know the shortcuts, the strategies, and the small details that make a big difference.
As a travel advisor, my goal is to create personalized experiences that reflect your individual interests and desires. I don't just want to plan a trip for you – I want to create an unforgettable journey that resonates with your soul and leaves you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Travel is the gift that lives with us forever and I cannot wait to work with you!

The best Alaska Cruise experience!
Reviewed By Breanne - Spokane, Washington | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Ann is an amazing travel agent! She helped us plan our first cruise. Anyone who has cruised knows the overwhelming amount of options and information to sort through. I was lost, but she helped us to pick and plan what was right for our family at the stage we are in and what she knew to be the best overall- from highlighting the options/cruise lines that go into Glacier Bay National Park (which was AMAZING), to the special packages, the route, recommended excursions, events and food to look out for on the ship…all of it! Ann has a fantastic combination of personal cruise experience solo and with and without kids along with trip planning knowledge/skills to help you plan your perfect trip. Following our initial meeting, she was always there to answer my questions and would often go a step further than I expected with her answers and recommendations. She provided reminders along the way (like making sure we had applied for passports on time!) to make sure we stayed on track for a smooth experience. I highly recommend using Ann to plan your next cruise or trip!

Ann is the BEST!
Reviewed By DanaB - Spokane WA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
We had the absolute best experience with Ann planning our trip! She took all of the stressful components off our hands and we were able to just enjoy the vacation!
Ann went so far above and beyond for our whole family. We were traveling with family friends, two grandparents, a young kid, and a baby, and Ann STILL managed to make the trip magical for every member of our party! Ann arranged a cabin in the most convenient location, with the perfect view of Alaska’s sights!
I can’t imagine booking a cruise without Ann’s help and am already itching to go on another trip with her help!
Ann Gillet responded
"Thank you, Dana! I loved helping you with this cruise and I look forward to making the next just as magical! "

Amazing Trip! Thank you, Ann!
Reviewed By Erica - Georgia | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Ann helped me find a great cruise option for a mother and daughter cruise. We had an amazing time and are now booking through Ann again for our upcoming Thanksgiving cruise with family and friends. Ann makes the process so smooth and goes above and beyond-sending luggage tags and always responsive and helpful. Thank you, Ann!

Great Europe Adventure
Reviewed By New fan of Ann - USA | Traveled to London | England | Europe
We are back from our Europe trip and I have to tell you, it was AMAING!! We started in London and our kids and granddaughter met us there. We stayed at the Other House Kensington. What a great hotel and 2 minute walk from the subway, which we rode often! The first night we went sightseeing including Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park and so much more! Then had meat pies for dinner!! YUM!
Saturday we took the Big Bus Hop on Hop Off, tour where they have audio, to hear about everything you are seeing, We actually rode for a while in the morning and then again at night since you can hop on at your own schedule. We went to High Tea at the Park House, holy cow, that was such a great experience, beautiful place, amazing food and the service was top notch!
We rode the London Eye, at night. What a beautiful experience! Highly recommend!
We then took the train to Germany to stay with our kids for a few days since they live there.
To catch our flight back home we took the train to Amsterdam to see a bit of the Netherlands as well,
We stayed at the Park Plaza Victoria. Such a great hotel! Location, is perfection! Right on the canal, tram and subway and plenty of shopping and restaurants outside the door, Beautiful hotel and the people were so incredibly nice!! They make great drinks too! LOL
We took a canal tour that included wine and cheese, made our own candy bars with personalized labels at Tony's chocolate, had Dutch Apple Pie at Winkle 43 (must do) for lunch and Dutch pancakes for dinner! And then did the Heineken tour and personalized our own beer, and of course , enjoyed he free one that they offered! Don't worry, we got our steps to make up for all of the great food!
I will never try to book my own trips again!! Ann is my go to person for life! I just tell her what I have in mind and just like that, we have a wonderful experience!! Its magic!!

Client Testimonials
Europe Trip Planning Success!
Before you start devoting time to the Herculean endeavor / task of planning a trip, I recommend that you call Ann Gillet and learn from my experience.
My original plans were to visit Italy for 7 days for the anniversary and return….easy enough. After visiting with Ann I knew that I could extend that trip, stay within a realistic budget, and create an event in my life worth celebrating. In the end I will be gone for 21 days to visit Germany, Italy, and France, while also fitting in a 7 day cruise. Ann took my safety into consideration when choosing the location of lodging coupled with the ease of getting transportation to that venue.
She presented a cruise option to me and provided excursion and sightseeing opportunities to make this trip memorable from start to finish. Everything was scheduled to make sure I had the maximum time in any location to explore the culture and history. The final level of confidence in her ability to plan your trip likely will exceed “your expectations”
