About Me

Accepting my award from my favorite cruise line!
Accepting my award from my favorite cruise line!

Hi there! I’m Johanna, your go-to Travel Advisor for all things ocean cruising! I have gained a wealth of knowledge through my personal experience on seven different cruise lines. My expertise includes all the ins and outs of each of these cruise lines, their ships & policies, and insider tips that I would love to share with you!

Some of my experience with ocean cruises includes five personal cruises and three inaugural events with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). My dedication has earned me the prestigious Haven award on one inaugural voyage, and I'm pleased to share exclusive discounts, onboard perks, and invaluable tips and tricks with clients. I am a seasoned traveler with Virgin Voyages: I've explored all their ships, received top awards, and hosted large groups, unlocking substantial benefits for my clients, including an additional $300 savings and $600 in free perks on top of Virgin's best offers.

Royal Caribbean is no stranger to me either, as I've sailed on both smaller ships like Jewel of the Seas and largest vessels such as Wonder of the Seas. My experience extends to booking numerous clients on Royal Caribbean, including successful coordination of a family reunion group.Yearly, I host large groups with Princess Cruises since 2017, building intimate knowledge of their ships, itineraries, cabins, promotions, and policies. Through these relationships, I offer exclusive discounts and onboard amenities to provide clients with unparalleled cruise experiences.

I have traveled to the top cruise destinations all over the world and can offer custom crafted pre and post-cruise itinerary recommendations to ensure that my clients have the best possible travel experience. I have personal relationships with drivers, tour guides and hotels, offering personal service you won't find anywhere else.

My responsive customer service is what sets me apart from other travel agents. I strive for the highest level of service that garners the best compliments of repeat business and referrals. Additionally, I offer deep discounts on business class airfare, often beating the prices offered by the cruise lines themselves!

As an expert certificate holder from multiple cruise lines, I am confident in my abilities to help my clients find the perfect ocean cruise experience. I am excited to work with you to plan your dream vacation and create memories that will last a lifetime.

All my best, and I look forward to working with you ~Johanna

Great South America and Antarctica Voyage
Reviewed By Beth - Las Vegas NV, | Traveled to South America
We have worked with Johanna for several years and will always return to her care! She is thoughtful and always has details at her command. She is extremely responsive and always there when we need her, like when travel changes in the middle of an oversees vacation. We have recommended Holiday Planit to many members of our family and to friends, as well!

Goes the Extra Mile to Get the Best Deals
Reviewed By River Cruiser - Las Vegas | Traveled to
Johanna knows that I'm picky and also want to secure the best deal possible. I made her work for getting the best possible deal on our river cruises, but it never phased her. This is the third cruise she has booked for us. Definitely pleased with her services. Will be back again when booking a cruise. Thank again, Johanna.??
