For any professional in this industry, being well-traveled is a pre-requisite. I have visited more than 30 countries and 49 of our 50 states. However, my experience and perspective extend beyond the places I have seen and the lessons I have learned along the way. My degrees in landscape architecture, mapping and cartography allow me to provide my clients with unparalleled insight into their chosen destinations, giving them a chance to see the world in a whole new way. 

During my studies in landscape architecture and graduate program in mapping and cartography, I spent time living in both Sicily and mainland Italy, where I studied ancient Greek and Roman amphitheater design and its relationship to the landscape. Nothing brings me more joy than being able to share knowledge with my clients who are booking trips to old-world destinations, as there are few other agents who can provide them with information to experience these ancient sites in an authentic and immersive way. 

Every itinerary I create includes special touches that cater to the needs and interests of my clients. Whether I am working with a family who wants to book a local getaway to a nearby National Park or a couple celebrating their retirement with a European tour or river cruise, I strive to create a vacation plan that will organically lead to lifelong memories. I specialize in booking:

• Luxury Cruises — As an avid cruiser who has set sail more than 25 times and experienced all the major cruise lines, I am uniquely qualified to book your next luxurious adventure on the seas. From Caribbean cruises to idyllic tropical islands to river journeys through the heart of Europe, I can show you all the endless possibilities available when you book a cruise vacation.
• European Tours — I rely on my professional knowledge and my educational expertise to craft authentic and immersive European tours that highlight the local culture of the region of your choosing.
• Alaskan Adventures — I believe that Alaska should be on every ones bucket list. This is a destination that includes the majestic beauty of the untamed wilderness and the rich, cultural heritage of incredible communities. My experience designing both land and sea tours of Alaska makes me the perfect agent to book your getaway to the Last Frontier. I am also an Alaska Certified Expert (ACE) and an Anchorage Wild Expert (AWE),

Aside from booking Alaska and luxury cruises, one of my favorite trips I created was for a family embarking on a broad international trip. They wanted to see as much of Europe as possible, in a short amount of time. I worked with them so we could make the most of their time there and provide a well-rounded experience. I also added on exclusive experiences, private tours and private drivers where needed along with visiting the "hidden gems". This allowed them to not only see the most iconic sights in Europe — but to also experience the warmth and beauty of the various European cultures. Your next adventure will be just as memorable.

As a dedicated travel advisor, I have the ability to collaborate with a wide network of travel experts around the world and use their industry expertise and my relationships with them to create the best custom travel solutions for you.

"At the Helm Travel/Pam Helms has planned 2 cruises for me. I've had a wonderful time on each one. I tell her what I want/am looking for and she does the rest. She helps make sure all the details are taken care of. She and her team have traveled extensively, so they have the experience to give you first hand knowledge of many places. I’m still deciding where my next adventure will be but Pam and At the Helm Travel/Dream Vacations will be the ones planning it!"

"Pam has organized our last 4 cruises and has done an amazing job. We've received fantastic deals only a travel advisor can get. She keeps me updated on any changes, sends me required papers and made it so easy. I have referred several people to her and they won't use anyone else now."
