Hi, I’m Marci Cantrell, an independent travel professional who loves to travel and help others do the same.

I started my career as a corporate travel professional in Seattle, where I worked with various business accounts throughout the Pacific Northwest. I also traveled weekly to assist with accounts across the US, giving me firsthand experience as a business traveler.

After a few years, I took a break that led me to Alaska, where I served as a purser on large fishing boats in the Bering Sea. This experience not only provided a fascinating chapter in my life but also resulted in several wonderful journeys to Norway.  Having worked at sea, my deep-rooted passion for maritime travel provides me with a unique and invaluable perspective as a travel professional, enabling me to craft exceptional cruise experiences for my clients.

Later, I moved to Panama for three years, where I fell in love with the culture and its people.  This chapter marked my entry into being a business owner.  In 2012, I became an independent travel professional, assisting expats with their travel arrangements. Upon my return to the Pacific Northwest, this led to the establishment of my own travel management company, which I continue to run.  I remain an avid traveler, constantly seeking new experiences and revisiting treasured locales.

Specializing in custom-designed travel, from domestic adventures to international explorations – including my love for intimate small ship cruises – I utilize my in-depth knowledge and experience to offer comprehensive travel services for my clients, ensuring a seamless journey from start to finish.

Travel is my life and lifestyle, and I love sharing it with my clients. Many of them have become my friends over the years. If you’re looking for a friendly and experienced travel professional who is here to get you there, please reach out to me. I’d love to hear from you!

Marcia Cantrell's services are exceptional, a true professional every step of the process. I've relied on her travel expertise for two international trips, one that included travel with family members living in four different USA cities. She knows her industry and her keen attention to all the details gave me peace of mind, everything from advantages in choice of airlines, managing time zone logistics, pricing and fees, insurance, hotels, nuanced travel tips -- and she was especially helpful to me with cybersecurity matters. I'll never go back to arranging travel plans online on my own. Her fees are very reasonable for the incredible value.
