Planning a cruise? I’ll do the hard part — free.

Free vacation planning — no cost, no obligation. Tell me what you have in mind and I’ll send two or three real options with prices.

Booking through Cruise Brothers — a travel and host agency since 1972, and a member of CLIA and ASTA.

Melinda Pearson · cruise planner in Newport, Oregon. Mom of three. Most people tell me the planning is the part they dread — that’s the part I take off you.

What people say

“Melinda took us around the Oregon Coast and knew exactly where to go — the wharf, the seals, the best clam chowder, the beaches worth stopping at. She made it easy and we didn’t have to plan a thing. I’d trust her with any trip.”
Markelle Moser · Oregon Coast trip

What happens next

You tell me the rough idea. No need to know the ship, cabin or exact dates.
I send two or three options. Real sailings, real prices, and why each might suit you.
You pick, or you don’t. If you book, I handle everything after. If not, you’ve lost nothing.

Why use me at all

1I don’t charge you. The cruise line pays my commission, so my help adds nothing to your fare.
2$100 onboard credit or a perk of equal value on your first cruise with me each year.
3Every major cruise line. Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess, Norwegian, Holland America, Celebrity, MSC, Disney and more.
4You get me after you book. Changes, questions, problems at 9pm — a person, not a hold queue.

There’s almost always an offer running

The lines rotate promotions constantly — kids sail free, second guest free, drinks or wi-fi included, onboard credit, reduced deposits. They rarely all run at once, and they change monthly.

Tell me your dates and I’ll check every line at once and tell you which offer is actually worth having.
