Hello, my name is Marcus Thomas! I proudly consider myself a seasoned cruiser. My wife and I have been cruising for over 20 years, ever since our very first voyage aboard the Carnival Conquest in 2003. That trip was a revelation and our first real taste of different cultures, languages, and cuisines all in one incredible vacation. From the thoughtfully curated itinerary to the unforgettable service and welcoming crew, we were instantly hooked on the cruising lifestyle.Since then, we’ve explored the Eastern, Western, and Southern Caribbean, the Bahamas, New England and Canada, Alaska, and the Mexican Riviera. Each journey deepening our love for travel. And yet, despite our experience, I don’t yet consider myself a “well-seasoned” cruiser. There’s still so much more of the world to see, and I get excited just thinking about the next destination on the horizon.


There’s something magical about being out on the open ocean, disconnected from the routine of daily life, yet more connected than ever with each other and the world around us. Travel, for me, is about more than just vacation, it's about growth, reconnection, and creating lasting memories with loved ones.


I’m passionate about helping others discover that same joy. Whether you're a first-time traveler or a fellow seasoned explorer, I would be honored to help you plan a getaway where you can EXPLORE, CONNECT, and REFRESH. I take pride in offering patience, availability, honesty, care, expertise, and attention to detail throughout the planning process.Let me take the stress out of the logistics so you can focus on what matters most: making unforgettable memories. I invite you to allow me to walk alongside you and your travel companions on your next adventure.

Unforgettable 8 Day Getaway Family Cruise

Culinary Highlights

One of the standout features of our trip was the amazing food on the Lido Deck. We couldn’t get enough of Guy’s Burger Joint and Blue Iguana—two of Carnival’s crowd-pleasers. For a truly special treat, we dined at the Chef’s Table, which quickly became one of my favorite...Read more.

Excellent advisor
Marcus has been my personal travel advisor, even before he was an official agent. He is patient and helps me with every little detail from booking the trip to helping me order a wheelchair. Every time I travel I know everything has been thought of and taken care of. I recommend him highly!

Stress free planning
I enjoy stress free planning every time I work with Marcus to plan my vacation. From customizing excursions to fit my personality to suggestions of fine dining, he always a plus service. My job requires me to plan every detail but for my vacation, Marcus plans it all. I recommend!

First cruise!!!


Marcus served as our travel agent for our cruise, and we can’t say enough good things about him! Since we had never cruised, we had no idea what we wanted. His excitement ignited in us a fun anticipation for cruising! He walked us through every step of the planning process, and any questions we had were quickly and thoroughly answered! We had a fabulous cruise for our anniversary celebration, and attribute our love of cruising to the amazing experience Marcus helped to create! We highly recommend using Marcus for any travel needs!
