About Me

Bora Bora Exclusive Shore Excursion
Bora Bora Exclusive Shore Excursion

In 2023, I was selected to be a Distinctive Voyages Host. Distinctive Voyages is a Travel Leaders Network exclusive hosted cruise collection of sailings that features complimentary added amenities, including the expertise of a Distinctive Voyage Host on board each sailing. Bringing an intimate feeling to even the largest of ships, Distinctive Voyages cruisers will also be offered a private welcome reception and a private shore excursion only for Distinctive Voyages passengers.

I was fortunate to begin my 'DV' journey in the fall of 2023, aboard Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Edge with Mediterranean sailings back to back from Barcelona to Rome. 
It was a great experience and I met some amazing people on both cruises.

Winter of 2024 I sailed solo on Windstar Breeze, Dreams of Tahiti Cruise. Windstar is one of my favorite cruise lines and I have sold them for many years. This was my first time to experience them and it was a trip of a lifetime!

Spring of 2024 was my first time on Celebrity in the Caribbean. We sailed on the Celebrity Equinox for 10 days with an itinerary that was port intensive. It was a dream itinerary, from the white sands of Antigua to the pitons of St Lucia.

Summer of 2024 will take me to Alaska on the MS Noordam, Holland America Line. We will be cruising Glacier Bay with our private shore event in Juneau.

Spring of 2025 I have 2 exciting sailings, 3/21/25-04/04/25 with Regent Seven Seas, Vibrant Hues of Blue on board Seven Seas Navigator. The itinerary is Caribbean & Panama Canal for 14 nights. In April 4/08/25-4/15/25 we will set sail on Seabourn Ovation and cruise the Spanish, French, Italian Riviera for 7 nights.

It is an exciting time to be a Distinctive Voyages host. Please contact me for information on all Distinctive Voyages and how you can be an exclusive guest on board your next cruise!

The best belated honeymoon
Reviewed By Eddie and Abby - Bakersfield, CA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kathi is amazing at helping with every aspect of planning a trip. My husband and I had some thought of where we wanted our next family vacation to be, but Kathi gave us multiple options, answered a million questions for us, and ultimately booked us a dream come true vacation that we will be taking in June. Excursions, airfare, hotels, and airport transportation can all be booked through Kathi. She is amazing at finding the best deals at the lowest price. And if there is a question she might not have an answer to, she spends her time finding it.
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Thank you Abby! It has been so rewarding planning your trips for you and Eddie. I can't wait to hear all about your summer vacation. I look forward to many more trips with you! Your kind words are very appreciated. Sincerely, Kathi"

Wonderful and fun!
Reviewed By Courtney - Marina Del Rey, CA | Traveled to
Kathi was amazing! She took all the stress of planning a vacation away. My husband and I are vacationing to Hawaii for our 10 year Anniversary. We have two little ones, and I was feeling overwhelmed at the thought of narrowing down where to stay, and which excursions to do. I got in touch with Kathi, and that overwhelming feeling went away immediately. She did the research for me, sent me just a couple options to see what I liked better, and booked it from there. It was great just having a top two or three to choose from instead of the hundreds of options in Hawaii. Thank you Kathi! We'll be using you again. Can't wait to be sipping my mai tai at Duke's!
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Hawaii is the perfect destination for a romance vacation! Thank you for trusting our agency. We are thrilled that you had a great travel experience. We look forward to many more vacations with your family!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

"...exceeded expectations "
As someone that owns a service oriented business, I rarely find an entity that meets the standards and expectations that I put on my own staff and team members; especially when it comes to being responsive and following through with prompt and proficient communications. Kathleen has both met and exceeded those expectations and I highly recommend her for any and all of your travel plans.
