About Me

Adding meaningful time before and after cruises
Adding meaningful time before and after cruises

The days before and after a cruise can be just as meaningful as the cruise itself when they’re planned well. I help travelers add pre- and post-cruise experiences that create a smoother, more relaxed journey and a deeper connection to the destination.

Whether that means extra time in a city, thoughtfully chosen accommodations, guided sightseeing, or simply allowing space to explore at an unhurried pace, I focus on making the transition to and from your cruise feel seamless. My goal is to help your travel flow naturally from start to finish — so the experience feels complete, balanced, and truly enjoyable.

Carefree Travel Planning
Reviewed By JenP - Orange County, California | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
We had a lovely time exploring the enchanting Celtic lands of Scotland and Ireland. Kathryn helped us plan a trip that truly felt seamless. She was eager to hear our desires and make them happen while offering fantastic suggestions. She was able to bring things to our attention that we were unaware of to ensure we had the absolute best time. We felt taken care during both the planning process and during our trip. This was our first time using a travel advisor and I honestly don’t know why we’ve ever gone without the help! We are currently planning trips to Europe and China with Kathryn. I can’t recommend her enough! Go see the world with the help of a pro :)
Kathryn Skaggs responded
"Thank you so much for these kind words—it truly means the world to me. ?? Planning your Scotland and Ireland adventure was such a joy, and I’m so glad the experience felt seamless and well cared for from start to finish. Helping first-time clients discover how supportive and stress-free travel can be is one of my favorite parts of being an advisor. I’m absolutely thrilled to be continuing this journey with you as we plan Europe and China next—so many incredible experiences ahead! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family cruise (17) to Mexican Riviera
Reviewed By Scoooter - Murrieta, CA | Traveled to Mexico
From the start of planning to setting sail Kathryn was all over it. She helped and gave support all along the way answering every question and concern. Coordinating 17 of us was stressful but Kathryn made all go smoothly.
Kathryn Skaggs responded
"Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Coordinating travel for a group of 17 is no small feat, and I’m so glad I could make the process smooth and stress-free for you. Being there every step of the way and making sure you felt supported is exactly what I strive for as your advisor. It was a pleasure working with your group! ???"
