About Me

Fifteen years ago, while still in college, I began my journey as a travel agent—originally thinking of it as a fun part-time job. Over time, it blossomed into my dream career. Helping clients plan unforgettable vacations and seeing the joy on their faces when they return is truly the most rewarding part of what I do.

Now, as a mother to a toddler, I’ve found the perfect balance between my career and family life—cherishing special moments with my daughter and husband while continuing to explore the world together.

I’ve been on 30+ cruises and traveled to over 20 countries, gaining firsthand experience that helps me serve my clients with expert guidance and care. I genuinely want every vacation I plan to be the absolute best it can be.

What I Specialize In:

• Individual & Group Cruises 

• Hotels & Vacation Packages

• Destination Weddings & Honeymoons

• Travel to the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean, Europe, South America, South Pacific, South East Asia & more

Over the past 3 years alone, I’ve organized more than 30 destination wedding groups (ranging from 20 to over 200 guests), and before COVID served as the lead agent for three annual Country Music Group Cruises, each hosting 2,000+ guests. No group is too small—or too large!

I also work hard to ensure great value—I can often match or beat the rates you see online for cruises and hotels. Just reach out and I’ll get to work on your dream vacation!

In 2025, I took a major step forward by expanding my company into Vacations by Nicole & Associates, LLC—a dedicated team of experienced travel advisors. With our combined knowledge and passion, we now serve even more clients with top-tier service and personalized travel planning.Whether you're traveling solo, with a group, or planning a once-in-a-lifetime event, we’re here to help make it seamless and unforgettable. Let’s start planning your next adventure!

Best Cruise Ever!
Reviewed By Dobby - Huntington Beach, CA | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Nicole was great to work with! She does a great job researching deals and finding great activities that we missed in our research. On our cruise through Haiti, Jamaica and Cozumel, she booked all of the shows and dinners on the ship and all of our adventures at each stop. She was very accommodating and easy to work with. I will definitely work with her in the future and recommend her to others.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fabulous, Fun Filled Foray!
Reviewed By Kstaff25 - Silver City, NM | Traveled to Dublin | Ireland | Europe
Nicole was amazing and helped put together our dream trip! This was kind of a musical pilgrimage and she nailed it. She was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly and even helped with some extra stuff that wasn't really a part of the tour. She did such a good job and I would highly recommend using Nicole to help you plan your next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
