Drinks with the Captain on Viking Rolf

I'm Chris Clement — a U.S. Navy veteran and travel advisor based in Maurepas, Louisiana.

During 20 years of active service, the Navy took me to 23 countries, 3 U.S. Overseas Territories, and through both the Panama and Suez Canals. That kind of firsthand experience doesn't come from a brochure — and it's the foundation of everything I do as a travel advisor.

I founded my Dream Vacations franchise with my business partner Claudine, who brings 35+ years of sales and relationship-building experience to our work. Together, we operate a veteran-owned, home-based agency with one focus: making your trip as good as it can be, without putting the burden of planning on you.

My specialty is cruises and hosted group travel. I'm certified at the highest levels with the suppliers I recommend most — NCL University Masters (their top credential), Platinum-certified with Holland America, Commodore with Princess Cruises, Heart of the River Specialist with AmaWaterways, Expert-certified with Viking Rivers, and certified with Disney Cruise Line and Virgin Voyages. Those aren't resume items — they mean I know the ships, the cabins, the itineraries, and the details that separate a great trip from a forgettable one.

I work with veterans, retirees, church groups, civic organizations, and anyone who's been meaning to take that trip but doesn't have the time to sort through the options. You want to travel. Life is full. I do the hard part for you.

If you're ready to start planning — or just ready to start thinking about it — I'd love to help. Reach me at [email protected].
