One plan, one contact. I can put a whole trip together: the cruise, hotel nights before or after, transfers and the extras around them. Or just a hotel or resort getaway with no ship at all.

Trip ideas

Each idea is a starting point, not a set package. I'll build it around your dates, your group and what's actually available, with no prices until I've checked them.

Port Canaveral cruise + Orlando parks

A few days in Orlando, then a sailing from Port Canaveral. I'll line up the hotel nights, the move to the port and the cruise.

FAQ

What can go into a vacation package?

Whatever your trip needs: a cruise, hotel nights before or after, transfers, excursions or tours, and travel insurance if you want a quote. Tick what you'd like on the form and I'll put the plan together.

Can you add flights?

Flights can be added on request.

Can I book just a hotel or resort?

Yes. Hotel- and resort-only getaways are welcome. See the hotel pages or tell us where you'd like to go.

Does it cost more to book through an advisor?

Not for cruises and hotels. No Book with the Captain fees and no markup on cruise and hotel bookings: you pay the cruise line's or hotel's rate. I'm paid commission by the cruise line or hotel.

Book with the Captain is an independent travel advisor of Fora Travel and isn't an official partner of, or endorsed by, any cruise line, hotel brand or tour operator.
