I started Departure Time Travel with a straightforward premise: the clients who invest in a premium travel experience deserve an advisor who has done the work to earn that trust.
I specialize in premium and luxury cruises and curated land journeys. Through WorldVia Travel Network’s preferred supplier relationships, I have access to perks, pricing, and expertise that go well beyond what’s available online. I’ve inspected ships firsthand, attended industry conferences, and built the supplier relationships that translate into real advantages for my clients. I work with a select group of travelers. That means your itinerary gets the attention it deserves, from the first conversation through the last port of call.

Premium and luxury cruises, and curated land journeys for discerning travelers. Every itinerary is built around what luxury means to you, not a template of what it’s supposed to look like.
In most cases, no. Many suppliers compensate advisors directly, so my planning services come at no additional cost to you. In many cases, the perks and upgrades I can access through my supplier relationships more than offset any planning fee.
I specialize in premium and luxury cruise lines including Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, Cunard, Viking, Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Oceania, and Explora Journeys, among others. Every line has its own personality, and part of what I do is match you to the one that fits how you want to travel.
For premium and luxury sailings, 9 to 12 months out is ideal, especially for popular itineraries and suite categories. That said, last-minute opportunities do come up and I’m happy to work within your timeline.
Cancellation terms vary by supplier and booking type. I walk every client through the specific terms before confirming any reservation, so there are no surprises.
