Meet your advisor

Roger Southard - Army veteran, full-time travel planner.

I spent years in the Army learning that the smallest details - a missed transfer, a wrong document - are what separate a smooth mission from a disaster. I bring that same discipline to every trip I book.

Most of my business comes from referrals. I'd love to plan your next one.

Trusted by Travelers

"We've booked three honeymoons through Roger (for our daughters!) and every one has been flawless. The room upgrades alone paid for using a travel agent."

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Do you charge booking fees?
No. Cruise lines and resorts pay us directly. You pay the same price as booking yourself - but with a personal advisor in your corner.
How does the $250 deposit program work?
For most cruises booked more than 90 days out, $250 holds your cabin at today's price. You pay the balance over time, with no credit check and no interest.
What if something goes wrong during my trip?
You call one number - mine. Missed connections, weather changes, hotel mix-ups - I'll work it from this end while you focus on your vacation.
Do you only book cruises?
Cruises are our specialty, but we also book all-inclusive resorts, custom flight + hotel packages, honeymoons, and group travel.
Where are you located? Can you help me if I'm not in Georgia?
We're based in Lincolnton, GA, and serve travelers nationwide. Everything is handled by phone, email, and video call.
