AMY PADGETT
Where do you want to go next? I specialize in North American Ocean and River Cruises (that means Alaska, Panama Canal, Canada/New England, and Mississippi, Columbia/Snake Rivers), Arts and Culture Travel, and Group Tours, but I'm able to help you with your travel plans no matter where you are going or how you plan to get there. Is Iceland on your bucket list? Do you want to ride a train through the Swiss Alps? Sailing in Australia? I can get you there. It's like having a personal assistant handle all of the details for you and a best friend to chat with about the fun parts of dreaming about your next adventure. Why spend hours upon hours getting lost in the internet, when you could have a customized vacation planned that's backed by a reputable professional?
MY STORY
Growing up in Florida, the vacation capital of the world, I've experienced Disney World in my backyard, Cruise Ports within 2 hours drive, and some of the best beaches the United States has to offer. Vacationing is just something you do here. It's a part of everyday life.
​
As the former Executive Director of the the Center for the Arts, my time was spent diving deep into the arts and culture that makes this world such a spectacular place. Throw in event planning and group management, and a new career was born! Planning interesting and meaningful travel for my clients became my passion.
​
I've spent countless hours becoming educated, certified and experiencing as much as possible first hand. I love meeting with suppliers to find out what's new in the travel industry. I even found myself fully immersed in travel and tourism while working as an Excursions Director on an American river cruise ship sailing the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Most of all, I love meeting with my clients who have become friends and family to help them dream their dreams and make them a reality.
​
My affiliation with Cruise Planners as a franchise owner gives me access to some of the best pricing and availability, cutting edge booking and planning tools, and great perks for all of my clients.
