About Me

At Dawn of Adventures, we believe the world is best explored by water, where every sunrise brings a new horizon and every port holds a story waiting to be discovered. Whether you're setting sail on a luxurious ocean liner, navigating the winding rivers of Europe, or indulging in a themed cruise experience, we craft voyages that go beyond the ordinary—immersing you in adventure, culture, and relaxation. Our ocean voyages span the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean, the stunning fjords of Northern Europe, and the breathtaking glaciers of Alaska, while our river expeditions take travelers through Europe’s most iconic waterways, from the fairytale villages along the Danube to the rolling vineyards of the Rhône.

Sailing is more than just a vacation—it’s an experience, and we specialize in matching our clients with the perfect cruise, whether it’s an intimate boutique voyage, a world-class luxury experience, or a thrilling expedition cruise. We partner with renowned cruise lines, including Virgin Voyages, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, Viking, and AmaWaterways, ensuring that every journey offers the highest level of comfort, entertainment, and immersive experiences. For those with a passion for food and wine, we curate sailings that highlight gourmet dining, wine pairings, and exclusive culinary tours in port. Families and multi-generational travelers can enjoy fun-filled experiences both onboard and ashore, while couples seeking a romantic getaway or destination wedding at sea will find breathtaking options for celebrations. Wellness-focused travelers can unwind with spa treatments, sunrise yoga, and rejuvenating itineraries, while adventure seekers can set sail for destinations like Antarctica, the Norwegian fjords, or the Galápagos.

At Dawn of Adventures, we go beyond simply booking a cruise—we design complete, worry-free travel experiences. From curated shore excursions with trusted vendors who ensure you return to the ship on time, to personalized pre- and post-cruise extensions that allow you to explore your embarkation or disembarkation city in depth, we handle every detail. Whether you're planning a corporate retreat, a family reunion, or even a private ship charter, we offer exclusive group rates and personalized planning services to make your journey seamless. While we can’t advertise them directly, we also secure VIP perks, onboard credits, and special amenities whenever possible.Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or setting sail for the first time, Dawn of Adventures is here to help you find the perfect ship, itinerary, and experience tailored to your travel style. From adults-only luxury escapes to family-friendly adventures, our goal is to create an unforgettable journey from port to port. Where will your voyage take you next?

First time out of the country- Costa Rica Bound!
Reviewed By Aj - Springfield, Illinois | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
We were so thankful for all the help planning our trip. As this was our first time out of the country, we weren’t 100% sure what to expect and Ashley and Nathan made it a breeze. From the email updates as we got closer to the trip with reminders and to dos, to making the trip once in Costa Rica as easy as it possibly could be for transport and check in, we couldn’t be happier. They were so detailed on what we needed for trip, what to expect once there, and responded in a prompt manner. We felt confident if we needed anything during our stay, they would be available and able to help.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A once in a lifetime trip!!
Reviewed By Jadyn M - guanacasta | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
My husband and I planned and booked our entire destination wedding with Nathan and Ashley, and they made it the smoothest trip of our lives! We had 42 guests to coordinate with, and these two handled it so well! Any minor inconvenience we came across, they took care of quickly and with very good communication throughout. They were thorough with booking transportation, excursions, and the wedding details. It was truly the most enjoyable, least stressful vacation / WEDDING we could have ever imagined! Thank you Nathan and Ashley for your hard work!!!

Our dream honeymoon
Reviewed By IanA - Elk River MN | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
My wife and I booked our honeymoon through this travel agency, and it was perfect from start to finish. They helped us choose a Royal Caribbean cruise that fit exactly what we wanted—relaxation, adventure, and great service. Everything was smooth and well-organized. It was the perfect way to kick off married life, and we’ll definitely use them again for future trips!

    Sailing Through Serenity

    From the moment we boarded the MSC ship in Lisbon, we were ready for an adventure that would take us across the Mediterranean and immerse us in different cultures. Cruising has always been one of our favorite ways to travel. Waking up in a new destination each day, exploring cities by foot, and enjoying the luxuries of a ship. But what ma...

    Surprise Disneyland Getaway
    Hi Ashley! We are having the BEST time and we’ve only had one day in the park! The girls are in HEAVEN. Being there for rope drop made a huge difference yesterday. We were able to do 5 or 6 rides before the Princess breakfast (which was incredible by the way). Thanks so much for setting this all up for us!!
