Why work with me
Nathan DetwilerFounder · NDetwiler Travels
You picture the getaway. I make it happen.
Planning a great trip should feel exciting, not like a second job. I help you narrow the options, compare the value, and find the right cruise, resort, itinerary or room type, then I handle the details so you can book with confidence.
I don’t just sell travel, I travel, a lot. Since 2022 I’ve helped people just like you with over $3 million in travel. We’ve been recognized as a Top 100 agency in North America with Virgin Voyages, a brand I fully stand behind, two years in a row (2024 and 2025), and I’m a Virgin Voyages Gold Certified First Mate, the highest level of their advisor certification. From Royal Caribbean and Carnival to Alaska, Europe, group cruises and all-inclusive resorts, I use real experience to help you skip the guesswork.
Best part: my planning usually costs you nothing extra. I’m paid by the cruise lines, resorts and tour operators, not by adding a fee to your vacation.

I may still be able to help!
On most cruises I can take over your existing reservation and add perks like onboard credit, specialty dining, or drink packages, often without changing a single thing about your trip. Every cruise line has its own rules and deadlines, so the best first step is a quick form. Then we talk it through and I will see what I can add.
No cost to ask, and no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Virgin Voyages is adults-only (18+), with WiFi, group fitness classes, and every restaurant onboard included in your fare. It is stylish and a little nightlife-forward, and it is a favorite for couples, friend groups, and LGBTQ travelers. As a Virgin Voyages specialist I can match you to the right cabin, or a RockStar or Mega RockStar Suite, which add a personal agent, priority everything, and extra perks.
Alaska's cruise season runs May through September. May and September bring smaller crowds and lower fares; June through August are the warmest with the longest days and the best wildlife viewing. Glacier and shore-excursion availability is strongest mid-season.
For closed-loop cruises (round trip from the same US port) you can often sail with a birth certificate and a government photo ID, but a passport is strongly recommended, and it is required for any cruise that flies to or from a foreign port. When in doubt, get the passport; it saves headaches.
Adults-only resorts are quieter and built for couples and friends, with romance, spas, and upscale dining. Family resorts add kids clubs, water parks, and connecting rooms. I match the resort, room category, and location to exactly who is traveling, from a swim-up suite for two to a multi-room villa for the whole crew.
Absolutely. Honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and LGBTQ travel are some of my favorite trips to plan, from adults-only sailings and overwater villas to the resorts and ports best known for being welcoming and fun. Tell me what we are celebrating and I will tailor it.
For the best cabins and rates, 9 to 18 months out is ideal, especially for suites, holidays, and peak summer sailings. Last-minute trips are possible, but selection and pricing are limited. Booking early also locks in lower deposits and more flexible payment plans.
For most vacations, nothing extra. I am paid by the cruise lines, resorts, and tour operators, not by adding a fee to your trip, so you get expert planning, perks, and a real person to call at no added cost.
