Let me assist with your dream vacation!
I Love Travel! I began working in the travel industry in 2001 and opened my agency Lawler Classic Travel, LLC in 2002. My promise to you is to listen to your travel wishes and dreams and make them a reality! I personally travel extensively to keep informed with resorts, cruises & destinations! It is so exciting and love sharing my knowledge and experiences with my valued clients. My goal is to provide the very best customer service to my clients and make the process easy.
I have been on 40 plus cruises to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Alaska, Hawaii and Europe. I believe cruises, like my clients, have many different facets. Depending on your interests I will tailor your vacation to meet you needs. Whether you are interested in a family cruise or more upscale elegance I can put you on the cruise that is perfect for you. River Cruising is a very popular means of cruising now. River cruising is a relaxing, immersive and thoroughly enjoyable form of travel where you can enjoy ever-changing scenery along the banks of waterways. Many of the River cruises include excursions in your package. Whether these cruise ideas appeal to you, or you have others in mind I have experience in all the major cruise lines. Let's find your ideal cruise vacation.

We had an amazing week at Exuma in the Bahamas! We booked our trip through Cathy. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the resort.

Wonderful travel agent!
Reviewed By KB - Winchester, Va | Traveled to Barcelona ~ Spain ~ Europe
Cathy makes traveling easy. She has booked multiple trips for us and I couldn’t imagine planning a trip without her expertise. Cathy brings a level of enthusiasm that is unmatched because she loves what she does and wants you to have the best experience. Knowing that Cathy is there to answer questions or offer suggestions is very calming and so is knowing that you have someone to call if something goes wrong. I can’t imagine planning a trip without her.

Cathy has been working with my family for years. We first worked with Cathy in planning our honeymoon over 16 years ago. Since then, she has planned multiple trips to Disney for our family, in addition to several anniversary trips, including Bermuda, Hawaii, and the Bahamas. She makes planning a vacation an easy task. We have referred Cathy to several of our other family and friends and they agree....that Cathy is the best!

Years of Excellence!
Reviewed By Alex C. - Williamsburg, Virginia | Traveled to Sorrento ~ Italy ~ Europe
My family and I have been using Cathy for over 15 years to plan a majority of our trips! She is always SO helpful, convenient, responsible, and trustworthy! She jumped in and handled a situation in 2006 where a hurricane hit our destination and we were stranded at an airport overnight. Fast-forward to today, I recently was married and we loved using Cathy to plan our international honeymoon. She always provided the best places to stay and is so helpful in adding little touches to our trips (roses, communicates with the hotels about special events). I trust Cathy wholeheartedly and we've never been disapppointed!

Reviewed By Maureen - Winchester, VA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Cathy helped us book a wonderful family trip to Disney World, a fantastic Caribbean Cruise, and an amazing experience at Universal Studios. Her many years in business and extensive experience and industry knowledge are a real asset. She is very well-traveled, has been to each one of these destinations and therefore possessed a unique expertise. Our family benefited from her personal recommendations for excursions, her ability to secure better rates, and her keen attention to detail. We plan to use her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone interested in traveling.

Reviewed By Ron Lapsley - STEPHENS CITY | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
My wife turned 50 this year. I had wanted to plan a nice getaway to celebrate. As I started to do this on my own, I quickly realized that it was overwhelming. You can only look at so many reviews on Tripadvisor before your head starts to spin. Friends of mine had recommended Cathy Lawler from Lawler Classic Travel. This was the best recommendation I could have evr received. Without any particular destination in mind, Cathy quickly gave me recommendations to several resorts that she had first hand knowledge in. From destinations in Jamaica, Turk and Caicos and Punta Cana, she knew it all! We settled on Secrets Cap Cana. She was a godsend. Her help with specific accommodations such as a swim up room were perfect. She also ensured we had a bottle of champagne in the room and booked our Moonlight dinner on the beach. No detail was missed. I would highly recommend Cathy and Lawler Classic Travel to anyone who will listen!

California! See review in overall experience!
Reviewed By Joni - Missouri City | Traveled to California ~ USA
We have planned numerous trips with the Cathy. Her service, capabilities, contacts, follow up, attention to detail and overall trip planning is outstanding and stellar. In addition to the quality of service, She is one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. She never rushes you off the phone and no question is out of range for her or unanswerable. She became an instant friend! I appear to not have enough space below to talk about my favorite trip and I must say it was our latest trip to California. Cathy planned the perfect 9 -day trip to visit 3 theme parks, a stay at two hotels, and flights out of two airports for convenient sake. She even got us the perfect rental car, an SUV, which we were able to pick up at one airport and drop off at another. The hotels were beautiful and extremely convenient to all parks. Everything was easy, perfect, and flawless from start to finish! Love our Cathy!!

Cathy is friendly, communicative, and a wealth of knowledge. We met Cathy and Bob on our honeymoon in Exuma in 2019.

Reviewed By Charles J - Winchester, VA | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
Fantastic...exceptional service...goes above and beyond for her clients. I used to think I could plan trips online...I mean, I've got access to great data from around the world. But I got into a situation where a ball was dropped and I needed help in planning a trip that was to leave in 3 days. I called Cathy as a hail-mary to see if she could save the day. Within three hours, she had four options for us! She took time to explain them all, find answers to our questions, and completed the booking well after hours. She set everything up and it was FANTASTIC! I love that she went the extra mile to make our trip one to remember. I know folks today think the internet allows them to roll their own adventures, but I'm here to say that Cathy's experience exceeds that of online reviews. She's usually personally visited the places she recommends and her ability to get to know what her clients want and deliver it is superb. I can't recommend her enough!
