About Cruise Planners - Amy Watkins & Erin Bryant



Look, let’s be honest. When you’re staring down the barrel of planning a big, expensive trip—the kind you’ve been dreaming about since roughly 1987—you don’t need another corporate jargon machine. You need a functioning human being who won't lose your passport or your mind.


We are Amy & Erin. We're the multi-generational, woman-owned travel agency duo behind Ur Next Vacay, and yes, sometimes we think about your trip more than we think about what we're having for dinner. It's a problem. But it's a very good problem for you.


 


Confession: We’re Just Trying to Keep Your Trip Afloat (and We’ve Got the Life Vests)


 


The world of Custom Itineraries for World Exploration is full of tiny, sharp details designed to trip you up. That’s where we come in. We turn that overwhelming complexity into a ridiculously simple phone call and one elegant digital file.


Let's break down the skills running the operation:


Amy: The Talk (The Empathic Strategist) Amy, bless her heart, is the reason we’re still here. She’s my mother, the classic planner, and the one who believes a real conversation is the only way to book a Luxury Group Tour for Seniors. She’s the antidote to the internet's noise. If you're looking for an app, that's my job. If you're looking for a person who will talk through your irrational fear of turbulence for 45 minutes, she’s your gal. She recently wrangled 14 grown adults (a feat unto itself) through an African safari with nothing but a notepad and sheer willpower. She is your Experienced Travel Agent for Retired Couples who actually listens, not just clicks.


Erin: The Tech (The Analytical Obsessive) I (Erin) spent years as a fancy UX Director, building digital experiences that were "seamless" and "intuitive." Now I use those skills to build those perfect Custom Itineraries for World Exploration. My brain works overtime making sure your high-end trips include all the curated extras and none of the surprises that make you want to drink heavily before noon. We call this our White Glove Travel Planning Service because, frankly, you shouldn't have to Google a single thing.


We bring together Amy's old-school "just get it done" grit and my modern "let's obsess over the typeface on the custom map" tech smarts. It’s an effective, if slightly unhinged, combination that delivers results.


 


Why You Should Trust Our Family Network of Support


 


When you hire us, you’re not just getting two professionals; you’re tapping into a duo whose lives are dedicated to planning and problem-solving (even if sometimes the problem is just finding mommy's glasses).



  • There's my teen daughter, who believes a curated snack bag is the pinnacle of luxury. She also keeps our ears to the ground on what this generation is looking for in an epic vacay.

  • There's my oldest daughter, the BMW mechanic, who can diagnose a cruise ship engine issue (in theory) faster than I can find mommy's glasses.


  • And then there's Dido, my airport-savvy dad who not so occasionally consults on optimal luggage-to-human ratios.




We understand that what you really need is a Personalized Travel Advisor for High-End Trips—someone who gets that the only thing worse than a missed connection is a boring trip. We’ve managed the complexity of our own chaotic lives for decades. Managing your unforgettable vacay? Well, that's just a Tuesday.


We take your dreams seriously so you don't have to take the planning seriously. Let's make that trip happen before another year slides off the calendar and you realize you spent it Googling what you should be doing.


You just pack the comfy shoes. We’ll handle the existential dread. And the bookings.
