Located at 6940 Kimball Dr., the new business is owned and operated by Victoria Reyder. Victoria, who has a master’s degree in accounting, has worked part-time as a travel agent for almost a decade and has traveled for more than 20 countries. Now she’s using her business background and her love for travel to open up her own business full time.

“Vacationing is all about creating life-long memories, but the process of booking a complex, high-value trip like cruising can be intimidating,” Victoria Reyder said. “My joy is to help others build their dream vacations, and then when they come home, they tell me how much they loved their trip. “We look forward to easing the planning process for families across Gig Harbor and the surrounding area.”
