Gen X empty nesters hire me as their travel advisor because I've personally walked 50+ ships across 40+ countries and booked 200+ Alaska cruises, so every trip you take lands on the right ship, the right cabin, the right week.


Picture night three. 🌅 You and your husband are on a deck somewhere in the Mediterranean with a glass of something, and it's the first real conversation you two have had in about six years.


That's what the right ship buys you. A quiet enough room to actually hear each other, a cabin you don't want to leave, intuitive service and food you're still talking about on the flight home.


When You Know It's Time To Hire Amy Kilbreath

Imagine that relief when you hand off the thing that's been sitting on your list for eight months. Or don't have to keep making decisions... Does this sound like you?

  • Twenty tabs open and still no decision. I narrow it to the two or three that actually fit you, and tell you why the others don't.

  • The fear of guessing wrong on a trip you've waited years for. I've stood on it. The ship, the hotel, the route, the guide.

  • Planning that turned into a second job. You go back to looking forward to it instead of researching it.

  • You're tired of trips that are "fine."  You want to feel something when you travel, to reconnect with loved ones, or even yourself. To see the world from new eyes - but have the peace of mind

If I haven't experienced your ship or destination myself, I'll say so out loud before you book. I'm on the road 10+ weeks a year on my own dime, so you can take it to the bank that what I tell you is current.


What Is It Like To Work With A Travel Agent Like Me?

Working with a travel agent like me is like having a friend in the business, who happens to have walked the ship. đź§­

You get a person, not a portal. One direct line, and it's mine. No hold music, no case number, no explaining it twice.

I'll also talk you out of things. If a ship is wrong for you, you'll hear it before you book, even when it costs me the sale. That candor is the whole reason my yes means anything.

And this stays your trip. I bring the judgment, you tell me what you actually want, and the perks show up without you asking for them.

What Does It Cost To Hire Travel Agent Amy Kilbreath?

  • Cruises: no planning fee. I book enough of them, with the systems to do it that way.

  • Complex land trips: usually $150 pp. Those I build from scratch, so there's a small fee for the time.

What my clients get instead when they hire a travel agent: the better cabin, the onboard credit, the amenities that don't appear when you book it yourself. 🥂


What Kind Of Trips Is Amy Kilbreath Right For?

  • Luxury small-ship cruising. Ocean, river, expedition and yacht. Explora Journeys is what I book most.

  • Alaska. 200+ cruises booked, and I know which lines get into Glacier Bay and which don't.

  • Land journeys through Europe and the South Pacific. For travelers who want depth over a checklist.


Most of my clients come back and book the next one before they've unpacked. Why wait to enjoy this peace of mind that your trip will be elevated and I have your back.


❓What's the trip you've been saying "next year" about?
