About Me

Enjoying Dave's in Halifax, Canada
Enjoying Dave's in Halifax, Canada

Hi there! I’m Marcus Thomas, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this—I absolutely love cruising and helping others experience the magic of travel. My wife and I first set sail back in 2003 on the Carnival Conquest, and from the moment we stepped onboard, we were hooked. That trip opened our eyes to new cultures, flavors, and friendships, and it sparked a passion that’s only grown stronger over the past 20+ years.

Since then, we’ve sailed through the Caribbean, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, and all over the U.S.—each journey reminding us that travel isn’t just about seeing new places, it’s about growth, joy, and making unforgettable memories with the people you love most. And the best part? No matter how many cruises we’ve taken, that same spark of excitement for the “next adventure” never fades.

That’s the very feeling I want to share with you. Planning a vacation can feel overwhelming at times, but that’s where I come in. With patience, honesty, and genuine care, I take the stress out of the process so you can focus on what really matters—soaking up every moment. Think of me as your guide, cheerleader, and detail-handler all rolled into one.

Whether you’re setting sail for the first time or you’re a seasoned traveler chasing your next horizon, I’d be honored to help craft a getaway that allows you to explore, connect, and refresh. The world is waiting, and your next chapter is just a boarding pass away.

Excellent advisor
Reviewed By Edna T. - Jacksonville, FL | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Marcus has been my personal travel advisor, even before he was an official agent. He is patient and helps me with every little detail from booking the trip to helping me order a wheelchair. Every time I travel I know everything has been thought of and taken care of. I recommend him highly!

First cruise!!!
Reviewed By Nesbitt Family - Searcy, AR | Traveled to Mexico


Marcus served as our travel agent for our cruise, and we can’t say enough good things about him! Since we had never cruised, we had no idea what we wanted. His excitement ignited in us a fun anticipation for cruising! He walked us through every step of the planning process, and any questions we had were quickly and thoroughly answered! We had a fabulous cruise for our anniversary celebration, and attribute our love of cruising to the amazing experience Marcus helped to create! We highly recommend using Marcus for any travel needs!

Final formal dinner with our awesome wait staff..

Unforgettable 8 Day Getaway Family Cruise

Culinary Highlights One of the standout features of our trip was the amazing food on the Lido Deck. We couldn’t get enough of Guy’s Burger Joint and Blue Iguana—two of Carnival’s crowd-pleasers. For a truly special treat, we dined at the Chef’s Table, which quickly became one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The expertly crafted di...
