Isn’t it time for your family’s escape? 

When every morning feels like a mad dash to get the kids out the door … 
When every afternoon ends with you playing family chauffeur, chef, and homework enforcer … 
When you can’t remember the last moment your family had unstructured, unscheduled, unhurried together time … 
That’s when you know it’s time for a vacation. And that’s when you call Blue Ocean Travel Design!

Hi, I’m Erika! 

I help families press “pause” on the busy-ness and reconnect on custom-crafted vacations. My specialty? Escapes designed to make you say ahhhh. That is: effortless journeys that lead to stress-free FUN, not frazzled nerves and backseat bickering. From sun-splashed resorts and cruises to thrilling theme parks, your family vacation will be seamless, smile-inducing, and tailored to exactly what your family is craving right now.

Stop me if this sounds familiar: 

It’s time to start planning your next family vacation. So you hop on over to the computer and start researching—combing through articles, blogs, online forums, Pinterest boards, and Facebook groups looking for guidance you can trust. 

Before you know it, you’ve fallen down the planning rabbit hole, paralyzed by all the choices … …

and the excitement and anticipation of planning the family trip has turned into one BIG chore! 

Not on my watch. As your personal travel advisor, I take all the planning off your plate, and instead serve up your personalized family vacation on a silver platter. 

Here’s what you can expect when you hand off the planning to me:

Knowledge You Can Trust 

You may know where in the world you want to go—but how will you get there, which property will you check into, and what activities will truly make this a vacation to remember? 

With my deep family travel expertise, I help you navigate these questions with ease. I invest in industry training and certification so I always know what’s new in travel. Plus, I’ve personally traveled on 11 difference cruise ships across 4 cruise lines, visited 25+ all-inclusive resorts, and planned travel professionally for my clients for more than 6 years. What does all this mean for you? That you’ll receive professional guidance you can rely on (unlike all those “tips” from internet strangers!).

Planning Made Oh-So Easy 

Let’s start your vacation before you pack a single bag! I’m here to give you a break from all the planning, research, and coordination that goes into designing your family’s trip. What can you pass off to me?

• Cruise cabins
• Hotel or resort reservations
• Airport transfers
• Theme park passes
• Disney dining reservations and Fast Passes
• Flights (or you can book with your points—it’s up to you!)
• … and more!
