Tahiti and South Pacific Cruises

Planning a trip to the South Pacific is a bucket list vacation and you need an expert who knows the region well.  As a Tahiti Tourism Specialist who has experienced the islands first hand I have both the expertise and knowledge to plan you a once in a lifetime South Pacific adventure.  From my little office here in the great north of Alaska I plan cruises to Tahiti and beyond for clients all over the world looking for a true expert. 

As an Alaskan I truly understand the value of a tropical getaway and no where is more luxurious and romantic than the islands of Tahiti.  Tahiti offers vacationers both the ultimate experience in both relaxation and adventure.   I can help you find the balance between the two and plan your ideal trip to paradise. 

When planning a vacation to the islands of Tahiti I particularly enjoy planning luxury cruises.  A Tahiti cruise gives you the best of both worlds: a luxurious place to stay with exquisite cuisine and the opportunity to visit multiple islands all while only unpacking once.  From the classic luxury of Windstar to the more contemporary cruise lines there is a ship for every type of  traveler and I will help you find the best one for you!

For a pre cruise stay I will help you find the perfect resort on the islands for your interests and budget.  Whether it's the epitome of romance in an overwater bungalow or a more family friendly apartment style accommodation Tahiti has something for everyone. 

As a Tahiti Specialist I can give you specific insight into each island on your itinerary.  I help with everything from picking excursions to answering questions about how to get around or what to wear. Spend a day lazily relaxing on a private beach with a picnic delivered by canoe or hit the ground running with a sunrise hike followed by ATVing through the jungle.  I can help you plan it all!

2 Weeks in Europe

Reviewed By Lisa - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Europe
Mary was great. I was looking for some general guidance on tours in Europe and she provided several excellent resources. She also helped me ID airfare - didn't book it for us, which was fine, but found a great rate that I tracked down. Terrific!

Amazing Trip to Yellowstone!

Reviewed By Kellie - Collingswood, NJ | Traveled to Yellowstone National Park ~ Wyoming ~ USA
Mary was very easy to work with and helped us plan a great vacation to Yellowstone! We booked a few different hotels for our stay and the one offered better pricing if we booked it directly ourselves. I was very impressed that Mary suggested we do this, forgoing her commission on that part of the itinerary, in order to save us money. We will be working with Mary again for future trips!

Dream Honeymoon

Reviewed By Joe - Springfield, VA | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Mary was amazing! We got our dream honeymoon; something we didn't even think was possible for our price range, and didn't have to deal with the hassles of most planning and research. We'd highly recommend Mary for any travel you're planning and could recommend her more strongly, highly or positively.

Amazing trip

Reviewed By Cindy - Vancouver, WA | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Had a wonderful experience with Christopher Travel. They planned our trip to Costa Rica and made sure we had everything to enter this country with Covid restrictions and that we understood what needed to be handled. Mary was very responsive and even attempted to locate tours for us while on our trip and began looking for alternative flights when it looked like United Airlines was going to miss our connection. Would definitely use them again!

The Consummate Travel Agent

Reviewed By Michael - Washington, D.C. | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Really cannot recommend Mary enough. She is the consummate travel agent. Excited by travel, eager to help plan our new travels no matter the idea, and always impressive with suggestions and tips.

Mary was especially amazing when we had to cancel our first trip with her during Covid in 2020 when we had to cancel our wedding and the honeymoon we planned with her. She took the lead on getting our refunds from multiple resorts, worked with us on cancelling our other activities, and honestly could not have been better support during that chaotic time. Also shout out to her husband for helping us on plane refunds and tickets!

When we finally did end up taking our honeymoon 2 years later, Mary was exceptional at choosing some of the most amazing places for us and did a remarkable job at working with our budget to get a perfect mix of luxury and more affordable options during our trip.

Thank you so much Mary!

Mary is the Best!

Reviewed By Joe D - Minneapolis | Traveled to Roatan ~ Honduras ~ Central America
When my wife and I decided to take our 8 & 10 year old girls on our first-ever cruise, we were instantly overwhelmed with all of the myriad choices available for cruises. Which ship? Which ports? Which locations? The list went on and on. Blindly we reached out to some travel site looking for a good travel agent and while the first 2 that popped into my email were no good at all, along came Mary and her wonderful ability to ask us the right questions about what exactly we wanted. While we did not know 'exactly' what we wanted, we did have a good idea of what we did want. From there, Mary was able to expertly craft the perfect cruise for us! Coupled with her connection to the Project Expedition excursion site (so glad we decided NOT to go on the excursions the cruise ship offered...way to many people), we ended up coming back home with the love to cruise and will be planning our next cruise in a year or so, and will totally use Mary again for this next cruise vacation. Highly Recommend!

Wonderful trip to Oman!

Reviewed By Rebecca - Arlington, VA | Traveled to Oman ~ Middle East
Working with Mary was an absolute pleasure! She was super responsive, listened carefully to what we were looking for, and was able to plan a honeymoon for us that fulfilled our vision. We wanted a trip that was both relaxing and adventurous and Mary was able to make that happen! Even though were were Mary's first clients to travel to Oman, she did a great job finding great places for us to stay and fun adventures to go on, and really made sure everything was taken care of!
