Luxury, Small Ship and Expedition Specialist
I began working as a travel advisor after becoming a semi-empty nester with a love for travel! My friend’s agency needed support, and since I enjoy researching and planning travel, meeting new people, and learning about new places, it was a perfect fit. But my role goes beyond just making plans; I help build memories that last a lifetime. My clients include couples, families, and retirees. Travelers seeking expeditions to unique destinations to walk amongst the chinstrap penguins, or quiet gorgeous beaches with all-inclusive amenities, champagne and dancing can all book a dream vacation with me. From 4-day getaways to 55-day adventures, I appreciate the offerings of every journey especially expedition experiences. My love for the tiniest details, sharing in the excitement of new destinations and old favorites with you brings me joy. I always take time to explain thoroughly to ensure your travels meet your preferences and expectations. I look forward to meeting you. Direct 561.810.1920

My Travel Stories
Antarctica
My favorite vacation since becoming a travel advisor was traveling with my husband to Antarctica. The highlights of the trip for me were the penguins, kayaking amongst the sea ice, icebergs, wildlife, and camping overnight on the Antarctic continent. This trip meant everything to me; it was so amazing in every ... Read more from my Antarctica story.

Extremely knowledgeable and super friendly
Reviewed By O.T. - Greenville, SC | Traveled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We called Atlas Ocean Voyages to inquire about a Mediterranean cruise.The operator transferred the call to an agent who was going to help us. It
was our lucky day! Julie Parker was available right at that moment. She
made us feel very comfortable from the start. Since she had been on a few
Atlas Cruises, she made it so real and so complimentary of the cruise line.
She is extremely knowledgeable and super friendly and professional. It
took us a few days to decide on the itinerary. The whole booking process
was very easy with very detailed emails about all the rules and what to
expect. Julie also shared her Instagram pictures of previous cruises. She
loves her job and it shows. She is always ready to answer our numerous
questions and to guide us towards good decisions. We want to keep Julie
as our cruise specialist if we decide to cruise again. We always look
forward to talking to her. Thank You!

We just returned from our trip this past Sunday. Just wanted to let youknow that we had such a wonderful time and everything went as
smoothly as possible. All of our flights were on time and the transfers
were well organized and made everything so easy.
The ship was beautiful and offered just enough activities for such a port
intensive itinerary. Thanks so much for helping us putting together such a wonderful and memorable trip with no issues whatsoever. It was a pleasure talking
everything over with you and getting to know you. Your patience and
insights were so appreciated. I will definitely contact you directly again
or recommend you to our family and friends for any future trips I
certainly would love to travel again as long as we are able and would
not hesitate to have all arrangements made with you again. In the
meantime, J will continue to follow your travels through
