About Me

Expert Specializing in Cruises, Groups & Europe

Hi, I'm Johanna, your personal travel specialist, with more than 10 years experience experience as a Travel Advisor and agency owner. Creating fabulous travel experiences for individuals and groups is my passion, and that enthusiasm must shine through, as I've booked groups up to 220 people! I have extensive cruise knowledge including mass-market lines like Princess and Norwegian, premium cruise lines such as Virgin Voyages and Oceania, and luxury cruise lines including Viking and Regent. Put my personal knowledge to work for you, booking cruises or crafting custom land & rail experiences in the Mediterranean, Baltics, British Isles, Australia, Alaska, Canada, East Coast and Caribbean. For example, last year I cruised the Greek Isles twice, and I would be so excited to share my personal recommendations and tips with you!

She is extremely responsive and always there when we need her, like when travel changes in the middle of an oversees vacation. We have recommended Holiday Planit to many members of our family and to friends, as well!

Goes the Extra Mile to Get the Best Deals
Reviewed By River Cruiser - Las Vegas | Traveled to
Johanna knows that I'm picky and also want to secure the best deal possible. I made her work for getting the best possible deal on our river cruises, but it never phased her. This is the third cruise she has booked for us. Definitely pleased with her services. Will be back again when booking a cruise. Thank again, Johanna.??
