About Me

I specialize in booking ocean cruises, thanks to my advantageous location in Florida, a stone's throw from two of the world's busiest ports - Port Canaveral and Port of Miami. This proximity, along with access to other vital ports like Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, ensures I'm familiar with nearly every cruise line. Each of these lines offers unique features - from their target audiences to the destinations they best cater to, and understanding these nuances enables me to pinpoint the perfect cruise for my clients. One of the most gratifying aspects of my job is the matchmaking element. Identifying the ideal cruise line for a client based on their preferences and desires is one of my talents. No cruise is a one-size-fits-all affair. I love the flexibility cruises offer, especially for groups. Everyone gets the liberty to tailor their journey – from accommodation choices to shore excursions – to their tastes and budget. When clients opt for a cruise, they are choosing a travel format that permits them to sample a medley of destinations in a brief span, spotlighting those special places they might yearn to revisit and delve into more deeply in the future.

{Fantastic Paris & Normandy River Cruise
Reviewed By Marianne F - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Erika Bodwell was the wonderful travel agent who arranged our recent river cruise which went from Paris to Normandy and back. We had never river cruised before, and Erika held our hand through the whole process. She is a very well-informed agent who totally understood our needs as older travelers. She helped us find a river cruise that was financially appropriate and perfectly suited to our interests. Erika was fun to work with and easy to talk to. I highly recommend seeking her advice and guidance if you are interested in traveling conveniently and comfortably with many opportunities to learn about our world
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Italy trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By Bonnie M - Deltona, Florida | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
“My husband and I planned a trip to Italy with Erika. We went at the end of April and took my mom, who is a healthy 83-year-young woman! I explained to Erika what we all wanted to do and see and left the rest up to her. With a few tweaks to our itinerary we set off to Italy! What Erika put together for us was absolutely amazing! From the hotel stays, private tours, and train transfers, I did not have to worry about one thing, except for having fun and relishing in the beauty around us! It was such a special trip with my mom and husband and the memories we made will last a very long time.

Erika is so easy to work with and stressed over and over that she is a phone call away for any questions. Thank you Erika for knowing what we wanted and getting it done for us. We wouldn't have changed a thing.”
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Erika Boswell was wonderful. After we booked our trip, she kept checking back making sure we all set and answering any questions we might have had. She even checked in will us one or two days before we left.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
