About Me

Swimming with dolphins on a Carnival cruise
Swimming with dolphins on a Carnival cruise

Cruises offer one of the easiest and most exciting ways to travel and I specialize in helping you find the perfect one for your style.

I have personally sailed on multiple cruise lines, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian, and have experienced a variety of destinations such as Hawaii, Bermuda, Grand Turk, Nassau, Half Moon Cay, Freeport, Cabo San Lucas, and Ensenada. This firsthand experience allows me to guide my clients with real insight — not just research.

Each cruise line offers a different vibe, experience, and level of amenities. Whether you’re looking for a fun, lively atmosphere, a family-friendly vacation, or a more relaxed and elevated experience, I help match you with the cruise that fits you best.

Based in the Pittsburgh area, I’m a mom and travel professional who understands how valuable stress-free travel is especially when planning for families and multigenerational groups. Cruises are an excellent option because they combine convenience, entertainment, and multiple destinations all in one trip.

In addition to cruises, I also specialize in Hawaii vacations and destination weddings, giving my clients well-rounded expertise across multiple travel styles.

My approach is personalized and detail-oriented. From selecting the right cruise line and itinerary to managing the booking and special requests, I take care of every step so you can simply enjoy the experience.

If you’re thinking about a cruise, I’d love to help you find the perfect fit and create a vacation you’ll never forget.

First Time Traveler
Reviewed By FirstTimer - Peters Twp. PA | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
We had never worked with a travel advisor before, but after working with Nichole we will never plan a big trip on our own again. She saved us time, helped us avoid common travel mistakes, and found us options we would have never discovered online. Her communication was excellent and she made sure we felt prepared before we left. Highly recommend!
Nikki Dowd responded
"Thank you for the great review. Can't wait to book your next trip!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Perfect All-Inclusive Resort
Reviewed By AlTif43 - Cranberry PA | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Nichole helped us find the perfect all-inclusive resort and it was better than we ever expected. She took the time to compare several resorts and explained the differences so we could make the best decision. Her recommendations were spot on. The resort, food, and activities were incredible. Having someone knowledgeable guide us through the options made all the difference.

The Wedding Week Wizard
Reviewed By Beachside Newlyweds - Butler, PA | Traveled to Antigua | Antigua & Barbuda | Caribbean
Nikki is the Wedding Week Wizard we never knew we needed. Planning a destination wedding was overwhelming until she stepped in. She coordinated all our guests, worked with the resort, and kept us calm through the entire process. When everything in Jamaica went perfectly, we realized how much effort she put in behind the scenes. She made our dream wedding come true.
Nikki Dowd responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an honor to be part of such a special moment in your lives. Destination weddings take a lot of coordination, and I’m so glad I could help make the process smooth and stress-free for you. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and adventures together! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Family Vacation Hero
Reviewed By Busy Mom on Vacation - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Nichole is our Family Vacation Hero! She planned our entire Disney trip and made everything SO easy. The kids had the time of their lives, and we never stressed about a single detail. Round two is already in the works!
Nikki Dowd responded
"Thank you! Family vacations are some of my favorites to plan, and I’m thrilled to hear everyone had such a great time — especially the kids! I can’t wait to help you plan your next family adventure."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Autism Travel Expert
Reviewed By ASDMom - pittsburgh, pa | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands | Caribbean
Nichole is hands-down The Autism Travel Expert. Traveling with our child on the spectrum can feel overwhelming, but she made everything feel possible and peaceful. She recommended sensory-friendly resorts, quiet spaces, and even gave us tools to prepare our son before the trip. It was our first vacation where we ALL relaxed. We’ll never forget what she did for our family.
Nikki Dowd responded
"Thank you for trusting me with something so important to your family. Creating a vacation where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and relaxed is exactly why I do what I do. I’m honored to have been part of such a meaningful experience and look forward to helping your family make many more memories together."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
