About Me

The iconic red hammocks
The iconic red hammocks

Adults only cruising is the new IT thing and Virgin Voyages is the only brand that does it right! I've personally sailed with them 3+ times, been invited to tour new ships, and know when the best itineraries are for the Caribbean and Mediterranean sailings! Virgin Voyages is yacht luxury with fun Vegas entertainment! I love the food - no buffets and all specialty dining is included. I also love the bar tab set up so you don't feel robbed by a drink package. Flexible spending on vacation is key and Virgin lets you choose the way you spend it. Looking for curated and exclusive shore excursions? Virgin is the best at unique and small group tours to get you immersed in the culture. I've personally sailed to Key West and the Bahamas as well as St Lucia, Barbados, Antigua, and British Virgin Islands - I love their San Juan Puerto Rico ports as well. My clients have sailed all over the Mediterranean as well - experiencing Ibiza, Lisbon, Athens, Santorini, Dubrovnik and more! There is a Virgin sailing for everyone from mid 20s all the way up to 70s+, you're bound to love it! I especially love these cruises for bachelor/bachelorette parties or fun milestone birthdays!

Honeymoon Trip
Reviewed By SaboC - Cleveland, OH | Traveled to Lisbon | Portugal | Europe
We truly have Vic's Vacations to thank for our amazing honeymoon. Katie curated a perfect itinerary for our Barcelona, Porto, and Lisbon trip. The app made it so easy to see our schedule for each day. I highly recommend this company and definitely plan to use them again
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Italy Corporate Trip
Reviewed By LaurenCarter - Indianapolis | Traveled to Sicily | Italy | Europe
Vic & Katie were invaluable for our most recent trip to Italy. Sure, I could have planned the trip without them but it wouldn't have been as good and I would've spent so much time and energy trying to decide what to do and where to go. I usually over-research things and end up with decision fatigue. My husband and I knew generally where we wanted to go but Katie & Vic made the magic happen. We encountered a few random hiccoughs over the course of our 2 week trip (none of which could've been prevented and none of which were Katie's fault) and anytime I reached out with an issue, Katie was available to help solve it. If you're thinking about using a travel agent, please do consider Vic's Vacations - they are fantastic!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Europe
Reviewed By ErinV - Indianapolis | Traveled to London | England | Europe
Katie was amazing. She was very responsive whenever we had an issue even though she was on vacation herself. All of the tours went smoothly and the hotels were wonderful. She built an itinerary that was well-rounded and provided a variety of activities that gave our family of five a taste of three countries, which is what I had hoped for. It was not an easy task, but she seemed to handle the logistics and planning with ease. The best part was the app. It was easy to navigate, always updated IRT and accessible which was a game changer for a European vacation. I HIGHLY recommend and I will use Vic's Vacations again.

Portugal Mom and Daughter
Reviewed By Chez - USA | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Katie from Vic’s Vacations came as a recommendation from a friend of mine. I wanted to plan a trip to Portugal with my mom and sister for my mom’s birthday and just didn’t have the bandwidth to do it myself. I gave Katie my very loose idea and she ran with it and planned a flawless trip. I explained to her how hands off I wanted to be and she took things into her own hands and delivered. I would highly recommend using her!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Italy Vacay
Reviewed By KimF - Texas | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Katie was amazing and so great to work with! She took the stress out of planning and did an incredible job with our family trip to Italy. She listened, paid attention to details and was available to talk or text anytime we needed her. Her attention to detail and quick response time were some of my favorite qualities. She’s friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. We will definitely be using her again!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
