About Me

Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House

Since July 2017, I’ve had the privilege of turning travel dreams into reality as a professional Travel Advisor. With years of experience and a true passion for travel, I specialize in all types of cruising—from intimate river cruises to expansive ocean voyages and indulgent luxury sailings. I also love planning escorted coach tours, perfect for travelers who want to explore the world with expert guidance and ease.

While cruises and guided tours are my niche, my true passion lies in helping travelers of all kinds plan their ideal vacations—tailored to their style, interests, and budget. From bucket-list adventures to relaxing getaways, I’m here to handle the details so my clients can focus on the joy of the journey.

Let’s plan your next unforgettable escape!

Why I Love What I Do

Travel is more than just a job—it's my passion. I believe every trip should be as unique as the person taking it, and I love getting to know my clients so I can design experiences tailored to their style and goals.

With first-hand knowledge of river, ocean, and luxury cruising—as well as escorted tours and custom vacations—I provide honest advice and thoughtful recommendations. Whether you're planning your first trip or your next big adventure, I’m here to make the process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish.

Our cruise experience
Reviewed By Seattle Cruiser - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Jill was recommended to me by my sister in law who is a very active cruiser. My husband and I have taken a few cruises but not recently on a big boat and only a river boat in Europe. We took our grown children who had never cruised before. This made our cruise more complicated and Jill was very helpful with the administrative details on our cruise. I appreciated that she helped as questions came up that were not easy to answer based on the internet information. She was very responsive when I emailed her and contacted the cruise lines several times when needed. No questions or concerns were too small to address. I would recommend her to my friends and family and would use her in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The best experience ever!!
Reviewed By CobbsCrib - Lincoln, CA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Being that our family doesn't travel often, we were nervous about planning our trip to Alaska. We found Jill through a local Facebook page where several local families recommended her. We couldn't have been happier with our experience! She listened to what we were hoping to do and gave us several options that checked everything off of our list. She was so easy to work with and handled everything, step by step, with complete competence. She is kind and caring and truly wants to make your adventure a trip of a lifetime. Even after having to cancel half of our trip and start over from scratch, she was never less than gracious, understanding, amazingly helpful. We are very thankful to have found Jill Johns to be our travel agent. We would highly recommend her to everyone! You won't be sorry. And we can't wait to have her help us again on our next trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
