Cruise and Adventure Travel Specialist

Santorini - Magical!

Hi, I'm Kelley Jacobs, a lifelong travel enthusiast who has turned a passion into a mission: to help others explore the world with ease, confidence, and joy.

Traveling has always been a deep part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of exploring Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean:  cultures, landscapes, and people that have shaped my worldview. These experiences haven’t just been vacations; they’ve been transformative. From the cobblestone streets of Florence to the fjords of Norway and the vibrant markets of Taiwan, each journey inspires the custom trips I design for my clients.

A Deeply Personalized Approach

My clients don’t just receive an itinerary, they receive a thoughtfully curated experience tailored to their style, goals, and dreams. Whether you’re spending a week in a boutique villa on the Amalfi Coast, chasing the northern lights in Tromsø, or immersing yourself in the flavors and rituals of Southeast Asia, I take care of every detail. From our first conversation, I work to understand what truly matters to you. Whether you're a first-time traveler or seasoned globetrotter, I’ll design a fully customized itinerary that reflects your interests, be it gliding past castles on the Danube, hiking rice terraces in Vietnam, or enjoying wine in the Tuscan countryside.

Travel is My Craft

Before launching Quinntopia Travel, I spent over 30 years in sales, customer service, and process improvement; experience that sharpened my skills in anticipating needs, solving problems proactively, and exceeding expectations. That level of care and precision now defines every trip I plan.

Each itinerary includes:

A detailed daily schedule with confirmations and logistics

Dining reservations at authentic or exclusive venues

Curated excursions that match your pace and passions

Arranged transportation from flights to ferries

Ongoing support before, during, and after your trip

I also specialize in group travel, milestone celebrations, weddings, corporate retreats, and getaways with friends. I’ve organized travel for more than 30 guests at a time, ensuring every traveler feels cared for and every event runs smoothly.

Cruise Expertise You Can Count On

Cruising is a world I know well. I’ve sailed over 19 times on various cruise lines and hold elite status with both Royal Caribbean (Diamond Plus) and Celebrity Cruises (Elite Plus). These experiences, and countless nights at sea, mean I know the ships, itineraries, and little on board secrets that make cruising extraordinary. 

I also hold certifications with:

Royal Caribbean – Bachelor of Adventure

Celebrity Cruises – Celebrity Learning Certificate

Virgin Voyages – Violet Certification

Carnival Cruise Line – Travel Expert Certificate

Avalon Waterways – River Cruise Certification

From luxury cruises to small-yacht and river expeditions, I know how to match travelers with the right sailing. Whether you're cruising the Galápagos or exploring Europe's holiday markets by river, I’ll help you navigate it all, including stateroom selection, dining times, shore excursions, and pre-/post-cruise stays.

A Partner You Can Trust

When you work with me, you're not just hiring a travel advisor; you’re gaining a dedicated advocate. I stay up to date on travel trends, regulations, and real-time logistics so that you don’t have to.

I equip travelers with:

Helpful apps and travel tools

Currency and tipping guidance

Emergency contact prep

Health and safety protocols

Travel insurance recommendations (and yes—I quote insurance with every trip)

Your peace of mind is always a priority. I want you to enjoy your trip knowing that every detail has been handled, and that I’m just a text or phone call away if you need anything. Whether you're planning a solo escape, a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a celebration trip with your closest friends, I’m here to bring it to life.

Let’s create something unforgettable together. Your next journey is waiting, and I can’t wait to help you take it.
