About Me

Group Travel, Europe & Cruise Specialist

Hi, I’m Jessica Yarbrough—, group travel expert, chaos wrangler, and full-time believer in life-changing adventures. I help couples, families, and curious wanderers plan trips that actually mean something - whether it’s your first time stepping foot in Europe, a 100-person group cruise packed with personality, or a dreamy wedding on a Caribbean beach. 

Why Travel by Jess is Different

I’m not just another travel agent who “loves to travel.” This is deeper than that. I build trips that spark joy, create connection, and turn casual plans into unforgettable stories. My superpower? Group travel that flows, Europe itineraries that feel cinematic, Destination Weddings that leave people in awe and cruises with energy, edge, and emotion.  I'm with you every step of the way—reminding you to pack, cheering you on when you're nervous, and making sure every detail is handled so you can just show up and enjoy.

My Specialties:

Group Travel Done Right – From multi-gen families to big friend groups, I make it easy for everyone to have a great time. Europe Like You’ve Never Seen It – WWII trails, fairy-tale villages, bucket-list landmarks and hidden gems… all in one trip. Cruises That Hit Different – Themed group cruises, epic onboard events, and port stops that make your highlight reel. Cruise Port Weddings & Elopements – I’ll help you get married in paradise—legally, beautifully, and without the stress. I can even officiate and bring a photographer onboard.

Why People Keep Coming Back

Because I get it. I get that travel isn’t just about logistics—it’s about meaning. I’m a mom, a homeschooler, and someone who built this business to help other people live more of their real lives—not just wait for someday. My clients trust me with their biggest dreams, and I take that seriously. Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip or organizing a big group adventure, I’m here to make sure it’s seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

 

If it’s bold, meaningful, and a little bit magic—I’m your girl.

Why Clients Work With Me

Travel Boldly
Travel Boldly

While I’ve helped plan everything from family adventures to themed cruises, what sets me apart isn’t just the destination—it’s the experience of being cared for every step of the way. Clients come to me because:

  • I’m organized, responsive, and easy to work with
  • I understand the pressure of planning a “trip of a lifetime” and make it feel exciting, not overwhelming
  • I will make sure your destination wedding is flawless 
  • I specialize in group travel, Europe itineraries, and themed cruises that are bold, seamless, and stress-free

Whether it's a surprise birthday cruise, a custom UK trip for a Harry Potter fan, or a Halloween sailing with 100+ guests, I bring heart, hustle, and strategy to every detail.

Made our trip to Disney easy
Reviewed By ScottC - Pocatello idaho | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Jessica is really great at what she does, she takes an interest in your dream and helps make it happen. It was very helpful to have someone with experience fine tune my idea, it allowed us more time at Disney for less than what I found on my own
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
