Shannon Phelan
Travel Advisor | Iowa
I have been planning great all-inclusive and cruise vacations for my family and friends for many years, and while traveling with my own family to Hawaii a few years back I realized, becoming a travel adviser was my calling. Since then, I have been helping families, couples, groups, etc. with exceptional vacations since early 2023.
I have traveled to many fun-and-sun destinations, as well as others. A few of my travels include, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Antigua, Hawaii, Jamaica, and even a motorcycle trip with a certificate of completion of the “Lake Superior Circle Tour,” through the US and Canada. Have ATV/UTV questions? I have experience in this area as well!
I hold professional certifications and advanced training with many of the industry’s leading travel brands. A few include Apple, FunJet, and United Vacations, Delta Vacations, Princess Cruise Lines, Globus, and many others. I also have many specialty certifications from great sand-and-sun destinations. A few include, Hawaii, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Antigua, the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.
Since we are a member of Travel Leaders Network, one of the industry’s premier travel consortiums, we are able to offer clients access to exclusive amenities, preferred partner perks, and added value such as onboard credit, and special inclusions (when available) that others do not have access to. With Travel Leaders Network, I hold their “Certified Leisure Travel Specialist” certification!
I take great pride in every one of my clients. I will take every client’s wish, thought, and want with how you see your vacation into consideration. With this knowledge, I will curate the most fun, successful, relaxing, or whatever type of vacation you are looking for.
Rest assured that you will be equipped with everything you need before, during and after your travels.
