My team has grown and I'm thankful to be joined by people that share my passion and desire to help you with your Dream Vacation
A little about us.....
Denise Canavan... All my life I have dreamed of traveling all over the world and have been blessed with the ability to fulfill many of those dreams. I have traveled independently as well as with escorted tours to Europe and Hawaii. I have cruised on sea in the Caribbean, Alaska and the Mediterranean as well as river cruising in Europe. All have been a great adventure. My Bucket List never stops growing. How about yours?
One of my specialties is group travel. Do you have a group of family, friends or people that share your interest? I can help put together a great vacation for your group, take all the work off your shoulders and allow you to shine as the vacation hero! I organize many Geocaching Cruise and Land Adventures around the World. Are you a Geocacher or do you know one? If so, check out my Groups Page for details. For 2016 we have trips planned to Alaska, Bermuda and Brazil. 2017 we'll be heading to the British Isles and the Mediterranean. Join us for a Geocaching Adventure. If unsure what that is go to Geocaching.com and join the fun!
Steve Hayes.... I worked 39 years in the high tech industry. During that time I traveled throughout the United States along with Puerto Rico, Ireland and Holland. 12 years ago I began planning vacations for our family and friends. We have cruised to most of the Caribbean Ports of call and to Alaska. Vacationed at Disney World and Disneyland, Universal Hollywood and Universal Orlando. Built memories at Guest Ranches in New Mexico and Arizona. Travel has become my passion. As we traveled I became reliant on Cruise Planners and their experienced travel agents to help our family make informed choices when it came to our travel and now I have those tools at my finger tips also.
Cruise Planners provides us with outstanding training and tools which enables us to provide you with the most up-to-date information on the choices you have when planning your vacation. I look forward to working with you to help you plan your next vacation.
Heather Leonard... Travel is in my blood. When I was just a young girl, my mother took me to the local travel agency to plan our first trip to Mexico. I still remember looking at the brochures and watching the agent work on her monochrome computer screen and issuing our plane tickets. I began traveling by plane as an unaccompanied minor when I was just 6 years old to visit family over school breaks and traveled to London on a high school field trip. I have taken many road trips both close to home and cross country as well as visiting our US National Parks. As an adult, I have visited Canada (BC/Quebec), Mexico (Cancun, Cozumel, Acapulco), England, Wales, Jamaica, Haiti, Bahamas, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Barbados, St. Kitts, Nevis, Martinique, Turks and Caicos, and Bermuda.
I have a diverse work background as I have worked in IT for US DoD, retail, customer service providing benefits administration support for a top financial firm, and have with worked developmentally disabled adults and with at risk youth after obtaining my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I found Cruise Planners several years ago when I needed help planning a first cruise for my family who have a number of mobility challenges and my agent was my much needed expert in the travel world. Now I have the knowledge of the special needs resources that exist for families looking to take their loved ones on vacation while accommodating everyone from Grandma who needs a scooter, individuals on the autism spectrum and everyone else in between. I have escorted groups of mobility challenged individuals and continue to do so on select itineraries. I would love to help you and your family plan your next vacation and make sure everyone's needs are met whether they are walking, rolling or just need a little extra support to get through a special vacation.
Andrew Cirrone... Since a kid I loved to travel. In 2012 I learned how much I love to go on Cruises. It has become a passion of mine to explore and see the world. The more I travel the more I learn that I know so little about the planet we live on! In 2019 I started with Denise and looked forward to an exciting opportunity to help people plan and enjoy their vacation. With the start of covid in 2020 I learned a lot of the travel industry and how it can change so fast. This time gave me the opportunity to learn the industry and be a better advisor for you! I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to help you plan a memorable vacation!
