About Me

Cliff Dwellings of Mesa Verde NP, Colorado

Travel has always been about more than just getting from one place to another for me. It’s about the experiences you have along the way and the memories you bring home. As a Global Destinations & Cruise Travel Advisor, I focus on helping travelers plan smooth, memorable vacations while taking the stress out of the planning process. 

Cruising is one of my specialties. Most of my bookings are on the major cruise lines; however, I work with ALL cruise lines. I’ve spent years learning the details that can make a cruise vacation better - from choosing the right ship and cabin location to understanding the little tips that can make the entire trip run more smoothly. I particularly enjoy working with group cruises, helping coordinate multiple cabins while making sure each traveler still gets the experience that fits their preferences and budget. Keeping both each family and the overall group in mind always. 

I love helping groups travel together because it turns a great vacation into something truly memorable. Whether it’s a group of friends, several families traveling together, or a celebration cruise, I work directly with each traveler to help them find the best value and make sure the logistics stay organized so the group leader doesn’t have to manage everything alone. 

Beyond cruising, I’ve helped travelers plan trips to destinations throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe, including cities like London, Rome, and Venice, as well as popular U.S. destinations such as Florida and Sedona, Arizona. I also frequently help families plan trips to theme park destinations like Universal Orlando Resort, where planning ahead can make a huge difference in the experience. 

My background as a Scouts BSA leader for more than 23 years has also given me extensive experience organizing youth and group travel safely and efficiently. Through Scouting, I’ve traveled across the United States with youth groups and participated in adventures at Philmont Scout Ranch, Florida Sea Base, and Summit Bechtel Reserve. Those experiences taught me how to manage logistics, communicate clearly with groups, and keep travel plans running smoothly, skills that translate directly into the travel planning I do for my clients today. 

What I enjoy most about being a travel advisor is helping people discover how much easier travel can be when someone is looking out for them. I work hard to help my clients find the best value, avoid common pitfalls, and feel confident about their plans from the moment they book until they return home. 

If you’re thinking about a cruise, a group trip, or your next adventure, I’d love to help you start planning.

Kathryn took all the guess work and stress out of trip planning
Reviewed By MeaganS - Fredericksburg VA | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Kathryn was a tremendous help in booking our cruise last year. She did all the travel planning and booking for our 26 person group and made everything so seamless. She was quick to respond to any questions and helped me with several carnival website questions, etc. Also, she took the time to frequently check back for new carnival deals and saved us a significant amount of money on our cruise in OBCs and such. We will definitely use Kathryn again when we plan our next cruise!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Kathy provided my team of four with amazing hotel accommodations, a nice rental car and more importantly, great flights with reasonable prices. She is my new go-to resource for our future trips, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make their booking reservations as easy as possible with great results. Thank you again for helping to making our experience a wonderful journey.

Walking us through Insurance and becoming our TA
Reviewed By TA fan 5152 - Quincy, Washington | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Kathryn Holmes replied online about insurance for a cruise we had already booked. So I asked her if I could PM her. She sent me her phone number and walked me through many insurance plans and we are buying 1 through her. And there are no Travel Agents in our area anymore. So Kathryn Holmes is going to be working with us on our trip to Bonaire Island.
Kathryn Holmes responded
"Thank you for the kind words! I look forward to working with you on many more trips to come! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
