About

Hi, I’m Karen Holland, an independent travel advisor based in Hagerstown, Maryland, and I’m here to make vacation planning feel a whole lot easier — and a lot more fun.

I specialize in helping travelers find the right trip for them, especially when it comes to cruises. Whether you already know exactly what you want or you’re starting with “I think I want to take a cruise, but I have no idea where to begin,” I’m here to guide you through it in a way that feels clear, personal, and never overwhelming.

Cruising is one of my biggest passions, and Virgin Voyages is a special favorite of mine. As a Virgin Voyages First Mate, I love helping clients discover what makes this adults-only cruise line so different — from its elevated dining and modern vibe to the fact that so much is already included. It’s a fresh, fun option for travelers who want something a little less traditional and a little more unforgettable. Virgin Voyages is designed as an adults-only experience with elevated dining and a modern onboard atmosphere, which makes it especially appealing for clients who want a more stylish, relaxed cruise experience.

That said, I’m not here to push one cruise line or one type of vacation. I’m here to listen, ask the right questions, and help you sort through the options so you can choose a trip that actually fits your style, budget, and travel goals. I love taking care of the details that can make planning feel stressful.

Whether you’re dreaming of a Caribbean cruise, an adults-only getaway, a group trip with friends, or your very first vacation where someone else handles the details (honestly, a solid life choice), I’d love to help you plan it.
