About Me

Led a group through the Norwedigan fjords
Led a group through the Norwedigan fjords

I am honored to have been selected by Travel Leaders to be a Distinctive Voyages host.  What this means is on select cruises each year I will be on-board helping guests have the best experience.  I set up exclusive events like private cocktail receptions, shore excursions, and more that are all included at no additional cost.  

I also organize groups for your friends and family.  You get all the benefits, group rates, and I handle all of the hassle, organization and details.  I use my contacts to set up luxury experiences just for your group that will make it extra special.  

Some cruises I've hosted are:

Mediterranean/Adriatic Luxury cruise on Regent Seven Seas Voyager

Alaska luxury VIP group with Crystal Cruises

Antarctica Ultra luxury cruise with Silversea Cruises

Galapagos VIP group with Celebrity Cruises

Australia/New Zealand luxury all-inclusive cruise on Regent Seven Seas Voyager.

Christmas Markets on the Rhine with AmaWaterways River Cruise

Norwegian fjords with Holland America.

On all, I arranged shore excursions exclusive to our group that went above and beyond what you could see alone. 

 

Instead of being taken to the ship in a packed shuttle, I arrange a private luxury vehicle to pick you up and take you to quaint beautiful villages and stop to sample local food in the French Riviera before taking you to your ship.  I have contacts around the world to make special arrangements for you. 

 

If you have a group you'd like to start contact me.  I promise to take you out of the middle, do all the paperwork, and plan memorable moments that everyone will be thanking you for starting the group.  I love hosting groups of all kinds and making everything extra special.

Fabulous Danube River Cruise
Reviewed By Paul - New York, New York | Traveled to Danube ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Heidi booked us a trip on an AmaWaterways river cruise for the Christmas markets along the Danube to celebrate our 20th anniversary. I had heard of low water levels on the Danube. We received several e-mails from her informing us of the potential changes to the itinerary. These kept us informed of what was going on and helped us to make our final decision on whether to go or not. Leading up to our trip she would reach out to us to see if we had any questions or concerns. She always wanted to make sure we knew what was happening and that there were no issues. We still went and had a fabulous time. Heidi arranged for us to eat dinner one night at the Chef's table which offered unparalleled service and food. After we returned home we received a letter and small gift from her thanking us for booking with her and to keep her in mind when we traveled again. We will and plan to book future trips with her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Focused Adventure
Reviewed By Taylor - Lafayette, CO | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Heidi is a phenomenal and empathetic agent to work with. I recommend her to all of my friends, and my family and I will be planning our next vacation with her.

Heidi helped us curate a vacation that allowed my family to focus on what is most important, spending time with each other. After discussing the main attractions we wanted to see, and goals for our trip, Heidi organized an itinerary where our only concern was showing up and having fun. Heidi also took the extra step to share her inside knowledge of how to make the most of our Disney experience. She taught us how to take full advantage of the Fast Pass system, how to make use of Disney's app, and the steps needed to ride the newest Star Wars attraction.

Heidi was integral to a great family vacation and I am looking forward to booking my next adventure with her.
Heidi Bocianowski responded
"Thanks so much!! I'm so happy you had a great time."

Memory of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Cindy - Poughquag, NY | Traveled to Antigua ~ Antigua & Barbuda ~ Caribbean
Heidi was a pleasure to work worth. From the very first day 9 months prior to our vacation she was right on. We weren't sure exactly were we wanted to go in the Caribbean but we knew we wanted somewhere special to celebrate our marriage of 30 years. We decided Sandals Grande Antigua, an all inclusive couples resort was the place for us!! Heidi was with us every step of the way! We received spa credit for a couples massage that was delightful. She suggested that we may want to "Retie the Knot" which I am so grateful we took the opportunity to do. It was a lovely ceremony, a memory we will cherish forever! We felt well informed about the resort from attire to restaurants, all inclusive water sports etc. If you are looking for a travel agent that cares about your needs Heidi is the one for you!! We will definitely book our next vacation with her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Hawaii for every age
Reviewed By Traveling Nana - Beekman, NY | Traveled to Kapolei, Hawaii ~ Hawaii ~ USA
I kept seeing ads for Disney Hawaii and I called Heidi to plan an amazing week for my grand daughter and myself. She booked a Ko'Olina Beach club in Kapolei about 20 min from Honolulu which suited me and we could take a short walk over to the Disney one. I like this area because not so much traffic as a city but close to see Pearl Harbor. Loved going to a small rural Catholic church where native Hawaiians sang so beautifully. Not everyone in Hawaii is rich but their spirit impressed me. We also had a breakfast away from resorts where the locals stop which was fun. Within a short,easy walk there was a "mall" with free hula dancers and musicians which made for an inexpensive evening out. Thank you Heidi
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
