About Jennifer Baptista, Full Service Travel Advisor

Thank you for visiting my page.  My love of travel began as a child when my beloved grandmother took me on a month long trip to Italy to see where she was from and to experience the beautiful Amalfi coast. That trip was life changing and made me realize that traveling with your family and friends makes for a beautiful life.  So it made sense for me to become a travel planner.  I've been planning travel for 23 years now. I have had the great privilege of working with family and friend groups, wedding groups, honeymooners, empty nesters, clubs and organizations who love to travel together, companies who reward their employees with travel and more. Fortunately my business has grown year over year mostly from referrals but I welcome new clients. 


I handle ocean and river cruises, customized land packages all over the world, all inclusive resorts throughout the Caribbean and specialty travel such as Galapagos cruises, Safaris, customized European packages and rail journeys.


My goal is to match you and yours with a terrific vacation that fulfills your dreams and aligns with your budget.

We could not have been any happier working with Jennifer at Cruise Planners! Being new to cruising and our first trip to Europe, Jennifer walked us thru every step. We loved the ship, our cabin and the ports were amazing. I have already recommended Jennifer to a friend and I will absolutely continue to use her!! Thank you for our dream trip, Jennifer!! - Shelley R.
Great Trip, weather was perfect, Alaska was amazing. Jennifer was wonderful to work with, also helped with items I couldn't handle.
Great time in Alaska The tours Jennifer recommended were much better than the ship tours
We suddenly decided on a cruise leaving in less than a week (we live in western Canada) and sent a note to Jennifer. She responded immediately and had the thing all booked in an hour or two even though it was after her quitting time. As always, Jennifer goes the extra mile to make it work.
Jennifer did a a great job helping us plan our NZ trips
Jennifer did a great job helping us plan our Celebrity Cruise
As usual, Jennifer got everything arranged well. It was a delayed 50th anniversary cruise for us, and she had entered that into the system. Using the Specialty Dining voucher she provided, we dined at the Bistro Sur la Mer and were surprised by a special anniversary cake, and the waiters singing Happy Anniversary. It was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you. - FREDERICK C.
Jennifer is the best travel agent ever! We’ve been using her for years and she gets us not only the best deals but arranges everything for us so we can sit back and relax! - TERRI L.
Jennifer has been a huge asset helping us plan several vacation over the past years. We were able to go to Europe and Israel in 2019 with a group rate that was very affordable. She has alway been available and remained in the loop for our travel plans. We just recently booked another cruise for next February and she was able to save us money and got an upgraded cabin. I can't say enough about her service and personality. A true joy to work with. - Stanley F.
We love Jennifer - Bryna S.
Jennifer has never steered us wrong in the 20+ years we’ve used her. Wouldn’t trust our travel arrangements to anyone else! - TERRI L.
Jennifer got me a great deal on the first cruise in North America. She also kept me informed of anything that was happening related to our cruise. Jennifer was super patient with me when I was planning that cruise.
Jennifer has always gone way above to help ensure out vacation was always top-notch! We have used her for booking cruises, land trips, and family trips. Through the Pandemic, she booked and rebooked for us with so much patience. If you need a FABULOUS travel agent, Jennifer Baptista is your agent! - Maryann K.
I’d been waiting several years for a trip to Alaska. I’ve traveled all over the world but never made it to this beautiful state until Summer 2019. Jennifer did a wonderful job in planning a trip for 4 of us. She made sure to get to know us a bit before she planned everything and WOW what a wonderful job she did. You can tell travel planning is her passion! We did a land and cruise trip. Alaska is well worth the planning. I’m ready to go back!! - Cynthia F.
There's no one else i want booking my trips! I've never been disappointed with the itinerary Jen has put together for me. Land and sea they've all been amazing trips and exactly what i was looking for!! - ASHLYNN W.
Jennifer -The hotel was nothing short of spectacular. It is just a few steps from Alfama and to downtown. The staff was beyond good. They went out of their way to help my niece who has food allergies by making special dishes for her every morning. In another example our Christmas Eve dinner fell thru for a variety of reasons, so, we went out and got some wine/cheese/treats/protein etc, the staff set up some tables/set-ups in the room overlooking part of the archaeology site. The experience was better than any formal dinner, it was a special thing. The hotel conducts a 1-2 hour tour of the archaeological site that they are built on Monday thru Saturday at 10am. It is conducted by an archaeologist. Our archaeologist was very charming and knowledgeable, it was a spectacular tour. The two tours conducted by Ana Nunes were wonderful, I cannot say enough good about the tour. As always the guide makes the tour and she was spectacular. We took your advice on Tuk Tuk tours, fantastic. Best Dan - Daniel W.
Just want to Thank You So Much for the Royalton Blue Waters recommendation! Everyone absolutely loved everything that was offered there. Delicious food, beautiful pools, water slides, lazy river and, of course, the beach! Each staff member we dealt with was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable....we’d go back any time!???????? Thank you again....Linda - Linda G.
Jen is a great travel agent to work with. Helpful and quick to respond!
Hi Jennifer! The cruise was very good, we had luck with the weather, it rained only in Valletta and in Corfu made a wonderful day of sun, we rented a car and spent all the day at the beach, everything we love... All the ports were fantastic, it was a Dream Cruise... Thank you so much once again for the Pinnacle Grill dinner, it was the best, no words... Oh, we also ran the checkin today from Meraviglia, it’s all done. For the last, I’m sending some pictures of the cruise for you, thanks again all the work you had with us, it was a really unforgettable cruise... Sandra F - SANDRA F.
Hi Jennifer, We had a wonderful trip! Everything was great including the tours, food, weather and fellow travelers. Kaz met some of his distant relatives in Lithuania and they were genuine and welcoming and were so happy to meet us. Russia was very different then what we expected. It was very cosmopolitan, clean and loaded with friendly people. Thanks for everything and we can’t wait for the next adventure! Fondly, Diane and Kaz - DIANE K.
Hi Jennifer, I wanted to send this out to you awhile ago but things here have been crazy busy. We want to thank you so much for everything you did to make our Alaska trip a dream come true. There are no words to describe our experience. On the last day, and after 20 days away from Maryland, Ray and I still did NOT want to come home. The longer we were in Alaska the more we wanted to stay. The weather was wonderful and the cruise part of the trip was phenomenal. We are so glad that we upgraded to the mini-suite. Needless to say, I don't think anything will top our first cruise experience. The memories we have will last a lifetime and we are so very grateful we had you there to help us every step of the way! If we ever need an agent again you will be the one we call. Take care, Peg and Ray - Margaret L.
Jennifer has been arranging trips for us for many years, mostly cruises. This year, we are taking an extended cruise, land tour, and sightseeing in Canada. She arranged it all, getting great price on cruise, even better prices on first class airfare and excellent prices in upscale hotels. The only reason we can afford all of this trip is because of her experience and vast contacts. She is always so professional and pleasant, even when you keep changing your mind. I would recommend this couple to any and all. You will not regret it. KD
Thanks for all your help Jennifer. You truly made organizing this trip painless :)
Just got back from an awesome cruise on the Adventure of the Seas. Thanks so much for all your hard work getting our group together. You guys are awesome! - AMY B.
I humbly thank you for taking of all my travel needs. You are amazing! - SHARON L.
Jennifer, First, Mel and I want to thank you so very much for the bottles of wine you left in our cabins. That was so thoughtful of you and we cannot thank you enough. The trip was great. We did a city tour and Pearl Harbor. The cruise was great as well as your recommendation for the Hilton Hawaiian Village where we stayed our first few days. Thanks again for another great vacation! Terri & Mel - TERRI L.
HOLY COW, Jennifer!!! WE LOVE YOU! I looked them up and it looks great!!!! Can't believe it, this is going to be a fantastic trip! (Just called the fam and they wanted me to pass on that they love you too!!!) As usual girl, you came through for us, in a big way this time! THANK YOU so much for your effort. All is good in the world.... You have definitely put a huge smile on 7 people's faces today! You're the best! Rhonda
Hello Jennifer, This is a great cruise year for me. I can't wait until my next cruise. I will go on six cruises this year for a total of 52 days. What a year. I want to thank you for making this possible for me for helping me get excellent prices. Sharon - SHARON L.
Jennifer, Words can't say how we trust and respect you. Being a teacher takes a lot out of me. Cruising helps me rewind, retool, refresh, and renew my personal self. I look forward to each cruise as a blessing and an opportunity to read. That is my favorite pass time. I try and better myself with new adventures. I will continue to book my cruises with you. I know you love your job. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU! Sharon from Chicago - SHARON L.
That is extraordinary!! I am so happy, thank you for that. I cannot wait to see what they are like, you may have spoiled us and we'll want it on all our cruises!! I know I've told you before, but you are the best!! We'll take another cruise in the fall, so I'll be emailing you again. Thanks again, Karen
