Susan's Great Escapes

Susan's Great Escapes Travel Advisor with Upon a Star Travel & Concierge. Helping you travel to world-wide destinations! Travel is my full-time job!

After 25 years as a military spouse, I now live in Virginia with my family. Since 2013, I have been helping clients plan all kinds of vacations: Disney destinations, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Universal Studios, guided tours, and travel all over the world! My goal is to create a concierge experience for my clients that meets their individual requests, budgets, and vacation style. Each person

and family's travel goals are unique and their travel experiences should be, too! This is not a hobby or a side-gig for me. I love building long-standing relationships with my clients working with them repeatedly over the years, watching their families grow and change. I've traveled to 30 countries, cruised more than 20 times on a variety of cruise lines, visited many all-inclusive resorts, and racked up thousands in airline miles! I want to share my knowledge and experience with my clients by providing excellent customer service, detailed itineraries, and creating the best vacation experience possible.

Sunset hits different out at sea 🌅 ​

If you've sailed with Celebrity Cruises, what's your favorite place to watch the sunset? Let's share the magic together!

I prefer viewing a sunset from my balcony as we leave port, but there’s no wrong place to see one!

Do you need this view?

Brand new JOIA Aruba is opening soon, and this could be your view later this winter!

This is not an all-inclusive but rather a European Plan resort, so you are booking just your resort with its included perks. That means you get to choose where to dine and what to drink! Three restaurants and four bars located on property, or go out on the town and see what the rest of Aruba has to offer!
