Kathleen Anckner

Luxury Resort & Cruise Specialist

I believe life is meant to be celebrated—and there’s no better way to  do that than with meaningful travel. Whether it’s a milestone  anniversary, a long-overdue escape with your partner, or a “someday” trip that can’t wait any longer, I help busy professionals plan luxurious, stress-free vacations with purpose.


My clients trust me to sort through the noise, handle every detail, and deliver  tailored recommendations that elevate their experience—without endless  scrolling or second-guessing. From ocean and river cruises to upscale  resorts in the Caribbean and Europe, I specialize in vacations where  service, setting, and connection matter most.


When you work with me, you get more than a booking—you get a trusted advisor who  understands what’s truly important to you. Let’s make your next getaway effortless and unforgettable.

Amy

Kathleen is amazing! She worked with us through a variety of scenarios, dates, and budgets to plan our trip to Cancun on fairly short notice.  She gave great recommendations and advice including resorts and excursions.  She made our vacation truly relaxing and seamless!

Deanna

Kathleen helped us plan a cruise around Iceland. She made careful arrangements and followed up quickly where there were hiccups. She is highly recommended.

Courtney

Kathleen really knocked it out of the park with her recommendation for our family of 4 to visit The Fives Beach & Residences in Playa del Carmen.  Our kids ages 9 and 15 were thrilled to have their own space in our 2 BR suite.  We found the resort staff very friendly and helpful, our room was clean and maintenance free, and the  food was just delicious (it was hard to choose a favorite between Arezzo, Oka Sushi and Mestizo).  We had many memorable experiences to include participating in the ceviche class at the beach, lounging in the infinity pool, and watching the wildlife.  We especially enjoyed seeing several monkeys, one was even bold enough to stroll across the poolside bar one afternoon and steal a piece of pineapple. Kathleen put together an amazing vacation and was very knowledgeable about this location.  We'd definitely consider returning to The Fives in the future - it set the bar very high for other resorts!

Great trip!! Everything was excellent.

Kathleen does an amazing job tailoring a vacation to your specific wants and needs. She is a great communicator and listener, and truly cares about making your vacation special. I have used Kathleen to plan several vacations in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Christy

Kathleen always plans the best trips for us! She schedules time to discuss what we are interested in and provides many options to choose from. The places she recommends I never would have found on my own! She’s always available to answer any questions and makes the planning process so easy.

Kathleen was outstanding to work with in every aspect. Originally we booked a trip with her in 2019 for travel in 2020, but due to Covid we had to cancel. When we reached out to Kathleen for travel this year she found us the Secrets Cap Cana resort and handled everything for us, including answering many questions we had. Kathleen made traveling a piece of cake and we will be using her services for travel again in the future!

Jonathan

Kathleen was a pleasure to work with! She arranged the best trip for us and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. I really appreciate her personal touch and the add ons that she recommended helped to reduce the stress of traveling internationally significantly. I would recommend her services to any and everyone!

Cathie

Kathleen has helped us book two family holidays to Los Angeles, Disneyland and Universal Studios. In both cases, she has gone above and beyond with her help booking accommodation and car transfers, as well as making numerous helpful suggestions and phone calls about meals and other holiday arrangements. We would definitely recommend Kathleen to others planning a family vacation!

Jamie

Kathleen was on it - from booking to getting us the info we needed before we left, she was a step ahead of all of my questions. It was such a relaxing trip to know we had everything lined up - from the ride from the airport to excursions... Really a great trip. Thanks, Kathleen!
