Nan Knows Travel is for discerning travelers. How am I different?  I am a luxury travel expert with 30 years of experience in the travel arena,  owning an agency, as a travel host on TV, as a V.P. of Leisure Travel for a leading online travel company, then as a  travel writer, and now as a travel consultant.  An addition to all that, I have been a luxury traveler on my own dime for years.  I understand my clients needs better than a typical travel agent.  Most often I help people I already know to build lasting travel memories or to simply work on their travel Bucket Lists.   The year was 1994 - I opened my first travel agency.  Through the years,  I have expanded into niche luxury travel planning for not only Baby Boomers, but also for luxury seekers of varying ages.  If you are seeking both 5-star quality and value, then Nan Knows Travel is for you.  VIP services are also available for celebrities or those simply wanting the highest level of personal service.  Many of you already have traveled the globe.  Peruse the travel offerings,  research itineraries and narrow your choices.

Topping my list - Oceania Cruises is a personal favorite, amazing itineraries, destination intensive with limited sea days, and their new ship Marina is splendid. Sea Dream Yacht Club offers classic yachting on a classic vessel, Regent offers amazing service with more sea days than Oceania and many land excursions are included. Crystal Cruises, Silverseas, Regent, Seabourn, SeaCloud offer superb service.

Browse or search through our site, filled with up-to-date specials, to see the wide variety of trips we offer.  Those shown are only the tip of the iceberg. Whether you need a spa getaway to refuel your batteries, a luxury cruise or a G-5 to Cabo, Nan Knows Travel can make it happen without a hitch.  Contact us where you will receive quality personalized service from Nan Knows Travel.
