We met Danielle a few years ago on a cruise to Australia. since then she has gotten us to Hawaii, South America and our latest cruise to Norway and Iceland. She also has handled quite a few cancellations and rebooking during COVId. Communications and actions are always immediate. Have to give her highest recommendation. The photos are from our Norway and Iceland trips in July 2022- Vincent C.
She did great job helping with my vacation plans!
Danielle's dedication and personalized, friendly professionalism is outstanding. In spite of the many last-minute travel changes that impacted our travel to and from our destunations, she diligently worked through them while keeping us informed as to risk, impact, and alternatives to get us to our destinations on time and to get back home with as little inconvenience as possible. In an environment where the airline industry was canceling flights left and right at the last minute, Danielle devoted many unseen hours working behind the scene to make sure she did all she could to ensure we had the best alternative that kept us on track to make all connections and our vacation experience a big success.

We just returned from a fantastic 24 day cruise to Hawaii. We were aboard the Carnival Miracle…the first in their fleet back to Hawaii since Covid. Danielle had our group of eight well prepared to travel. What we needed to do, how, the shuttles, flights, excursions, etc.! Would not book a trip through anyone wlse!- Holly W.
Danielle is absolutely the best travel agent ever and I have tried many. She not only took care of all the details and they were many and changing daily, she held my hand and reassured me through out it all. It was my first solo cruise and my longest. She handled all the Covid protocols and made sure I had the correct forms. She even filled them out and sent the QR codes to me because of the unreliability of ship wifi. And she made sure all my many flights were correct and got me the best fares. She stayed on top of everything so I could relax and enjoy my vacation. You can never go wrong with Danielle. She enabled me to have a safe, worry free, unforgettable cruise experience.
This is my first solo trip since my husband passed. I have had nothing but fantastic support and encouragement from Danielle Peterson, probably the best travel agent I have ever worked with. Not only does she take all the stress of choosing and panning a cruise vacation, but she offered suggestions on excursions, insurance, flights , Covid requirements, and everything else you could think of. In these challenging Covid times its so reassuring to have someone so knowledgeable and proactive son your side. She has taken care of everything and I feel releveled and empowered to explore on my own.
Cruise planners other best , always looking out for our best deals and
watches prices for price drops. They go out of their way to find whatever you are looking for.
Danielle was fantastic as always....we had issues with the hotel itself, but it was in no way connected to Danielle.....
The best travel advisor around, DANIELLE PETERSON, always willing to help with any and all travel concerns before and after travel.
I wouldn’t plan a trip without Danielle Peterson’s help! She’s is fabulous and so knowledgeable. Everything goes so smooth. She thinks of all the details to make the trip spectacular.
THANK YOU to Danielle Peterson for helping us with our longest, most wonderful trip of a lifetime!! With 33 days plus travel, she understands my ocd for planning and made sure everything was covered! Her vast knowledge of where to find excursions helped many bucket list items get checked off our list! The sights and sounds of New Zealand, Australia, Komodo Island, Bali, Indonesia, and Singapore will forever be in our hearts â¤ï¸ xoxo- Holly W.

We recently lost our beloved son in September 2017- a parents worse nightmare! Knowing we had to get away for the first year mark- wereached out to wonderful Danielle to recommend and totally navigate a beautiful river boat cruise down the Danube. We were a bit skeptical as we had never been on a cruise of any sort. Even though our pain is constant- Danielle took care of EVERYTHING down to the smallest detail and took away any added stress- Danielle made it so easy for us. Everything was planned perfectly and we are forever grateful that Danielle made this time that we knew would be especially difficult more than bearable. The trip was not only perfection but of great solace- we hated coming back to reality. It’s our hope to plan another Riverboat cruise through Danielle- her empathy and attention to detail and follow up was perfection! Needless to say- for any occasion or just any vacation we highly recommend Danielle as your personal Cruise Planner! Thank you our dear friend.
Danielle is the best agent in the known universe!- Sue B.
