In a world where travel options are endless and time is limited, seasoned travel agent Michele Harkins is making dream vacations seamless and unforgettable. With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, Michele specializes in luxury travel and cruise vacations—and brings a unique edge: she personally cruises 6–10 times a year, offering clients insider knowledge that goes far beyond brochures and booking engines.
“I don’t just know cruises—I live them,” says Michele. “I can tell you what it’s really like to sail on a particular ship or visit a specific destination because I’ve done it myself.”
Whether it's the pristine turquoise waters of Tahiti—her personal favorite destination—or exploring the majestic landscapes of Denali National Park, Michele designs tailor-made experiences based on in-depth conversations with her clients. “I offer a true concierge-level service,” she explains. “My job isn’t to sell a vacation. My job is to craft the right vacation—whether that’s a romantic getaway, a multi-generational family trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime group adventure.”
Her expertise spans the most prestigious cruise lines and ship classes, from the elevated MSC Yacht Club experience—her top pick for couples—to the high-energy, family-friendly Oasis-class ships by Royal Caribbean. With group trips already planned through Japan in 2027 and Alaska in 2026, Michele is no stranger to curating unforgettable global adventures.
A Myth-Busting Approach to Travel Planning
A common misconception is that booking directly will save travelers money. “That’s just not true,” she says. “Because I work with the largest seller of cruises in the world, I have access to exclusive, unpublished rates and perks travelers simply won’t find online.” Case in point: she recently saved a client $6,000 on a Viking River Cruise.
Her services don’t cost clients extra, but they do save them hours of research—and avoid costly mistakes. “You don’t have to watch 60 hours of YouTube videos. Just call me,” she adds with a smile.
Plan Less. Experience More.
Whether you’re planning a group cruise, family vacation, or an exotic escape, working with [Your Name] means getting more value, more insight, and more joy out of your journey. "Trust me with your bucket list," she says. "You'll never vacation the same way again."
