Cruise, All Inclusive, and Group Travel Specialist

I’m Cara Lockrem, and I specialize in the art of the journey. For over 35 years, my husband and I have made wonder a priority, and today, I bring that lifetime of personal discovery to Lockrem Travel. Whether it’s a medieval castle on the Rhine or a hidden gem in Japan, my mission is to take your vision and turn it into a seamless, expertly tailored reality that is as intentional as it is unforgettable.

A Heritage of Exploration

My affinity for the world’s wild places began at the age of five on the rugged shores of Alaska. Those formative summers instilled in me a deep reverence for nature and a keen eye for detail—traits that now define my approach to luxury travel.When I married my husband over 35 years ago, we made a conscious choice to weave adventure and wonder into the very fabric of our lives. Together, we have spent over three decades seeking out the world’s most captivating corners, ensuring that every year is defined by new discovery rather than routine.

From Military Life to Global Milestones

Life as a military spouse took me across the tapestry of the United States, from the lush landscapes of Hawaii to the peaks of Colorado and the heart of Texas. Each transition was an opportunity to document the world through my lens. We raised our children amidst these adventures, creating cherished memories by taking cross country road trips, summer camping adventures and regular trips to Disneyland and Disney World.  Today, as a grandmother, I find immense joy in orchestrating those same moments of wonder for the next generation, ensuring every family legacy is built on a foundation of unforgettable travel.

The Thrill of Discovery

While I appreciate the finer points of a well-appointed suite, my spirit remains rooted in adventure. I have explored nearly every U.S. state and 14 countries, always seeking the pulse of a destination, whether that means zip lining through a canopy, white-water rafting, or embarking on soul-stirring mission trips to China.Of all my global wanderings, Japan remains my pinnacle. I am deeply inspired by the Japanese dedication to excellence and the profound kindness of its people. It is this standard of "honor in the details" that I strive to bring to every itinerary I touch.

European Elegance & Recent Inspirations

As "empty nesters," my husband and I have transitioned into a sophisticated chapter of exploration. Most recently, we immersed ourselves in the quiet luxury of a river cruise through Amsterdam and the Netherlands. From the vibrant tulip fields to the architectural grandeur of the Rhine, we spent our days exploring the legendary castles and cathedrals of Germany. This firsthand immersion into the continent's most storied waterways allows me to offer my clients unparalleled insight into the world of luxury river cruising.
