About Me

River & Ocean Cruise Specialist and Family Trips

I have been in the travel industry for over 11 years and have extensive knowledge in planning incredible and memorable vacations. I am a Certified Travel Counsellor. I decided to combine my love of travel and desire to help people with my strong organization, experience and research skills to become a Destination Wedding Specialist, River Cruises Specialist and Family Vacations. I am delighted and proud to be a part of the McPhail Travel team and looking forward to connect with you and develop a great long-lasting relationship. Having first-hand tips and memories to share with clients is another bonus of having a cruise specialist who is hooked on travel! Some of my favorite globe-trotting highlights include doing a flight seeing tour and dog sledding in its surrounding glaciers in Alaska. I recently travelled to Peru, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Cuba and Costa Rica and prior to that I've been to Jamaica and on a Avalon Waterways River Cruise.

Nette was our holiday hero!
Reviewed By Jennifer - Virden | Traveled to New Orleans ~ Louisiana ~ USA
Nette booked our flights, hotels, a cruise and a 5 day stay after in New Orleans. She worked hard before our trip to get us a good deal and to make it a trip we would never forget. However, the services she provided was so much more than just booking the trip- she actually saved it too!

While we were travelling she was following our flights from her office and noticed that due to flight interruptions that we were at risk of missing connections and, ultimately, our cruise! When we got off the plane she notified us by email , and called, and was already working to give us instructions on how we could reconnect and get to get back on track to where we needed to be. She was so helpful behind the scenes to get us new hotels and cancel old ones and to help chase luggage on our behalf and to help with insurance claims later.

I was very impressed by her service and professionalism. Nette was our holiday hero!
