About Me

Personalized Cruise & Small-Group Travel Planning

I’m a Canadian travel advisor with 9 years of experience and a genuine passion for personalized cruise and small-group travel planning. As a cruise specialist and avid cruiser, I bring firsthand experience with professional training to help clients choose the right ship, itinerary, and overall travel experience.

Our travel needs change over time, and I believe every season of life calls for a different kind of trip. From adventure and exploration to rest and relaxation, or meaningful trips with family and friends, I help clients find the experience that fits — whether that’s an ocean or river cruise, a guided small-group tour in Europe, or a five-star all-inclusive getaway in Mexico or the Caribbean.

As a member of the Association of Canadian Travel Advisors (ACTA), I’m known for honest advice, clear communication, and detail-oriented planning from start to finish.

Let’s start planning your next great adventure — reach out by email to get started.

What Sets My Travel Planning Apart

My Thai Islands Small Group Adventure
My Thai Islands Small Group Adventure

I take a highly personalized, hands-on approach to travel planning, with a strong focus on cruises, small-group adventures, and carefully selected all-inclusive vacations. I work closely with trusted suppliers and local partners, and I communicate directly with cruise lines, tour operators, and resorts to ensure every detail is thoughtfully managed.

Clients appreciate my organized planning style, clear timelines, and easy-to-use digital itineraries that keep everything in one place. From choosing the right travel style and pacing to coordinating excursions, special requests, and logistics, my goal is to make the entire process feel seamless and stress-free—so clients can travel with confidence and truly enjoy the experience.

Such a great week away!
Reviewed By Hawkes - Huatulco | Traveled to Huatulco | Oaxaca | Mexico
The entire process from booking to travel was seamless. Donelle was quick to respond and answer questions. So many great tips as well. This is our 3rd time to Las Brisas in Huatulco and we will definitely go back. It’s clean and I felt safe. The people are friendly and welcoming. Best to take pesos as opposed to CDN or USD. Visa was easily accepted. I also really liked that Nexus tours charged in CDN as in the past they always charged USD. I highly recommend Las Brisas an Donelle as your travel advisor.

"Thank you for sharing your experience — I truly appreciate it. I’m so glad your return to Las Brisas in Huatulco was seamless from booking through travel. It’s wonderful to hear you felt safe and welcomed, and that the resort continues to live up to expectations. Your tips about bringing pesos and Nexus Tours charging in CDN are helpful for future travelers as well. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to planning your next vacation!

It was such a pleasure helping you plan your Royal Caribbean Eastern Caribbean sailing on Star of the Seas, especially getting to see you travel with your son and grandchildren. Multi-generational trips create such special memories, and I’m thrilled it all came together seamlessly. I always enjoy working with your family and look forward to planning the next adventure!"

Stress-Free All-Inclusive, Dietary Needs Included
I loved the whole process of working with Destinations by Donelle. From choosing our resort to booking everything to communicating with the resort it made everything stress free. I loved Destinations by Donelle Trip Itinerary app and all the reminders to keep us on task so that we remembered all the essentials for our trip. Highly recommend working with Donelle.

First River Cruise Experience, Beyond Expectations
Our river cruise lines was the BEST!! The customer service is beyond exemplary, they learn your name and when they found out it was our anniversary we received royal treatment, gifts and handwritten cards. Destinations by Donelle was the BEST! Your apps and all the organization you did saved us so much stress, especially me as the organizer of vacations! We loved the excursion links and the tours were lead by amazing local guides who were all very knowledgeable and helpful. We loved the river cruise so much, we took advantage of a voucher promotion so we can set sail again. Donelle we will be back to you for more travel bookings and i will encourage all my friends to use you too.
