What services do you offer?

I specialize in cruise and Disney vacation planning for travelers over 50, and I bring something most travel advisors can’t: personal experience. I’ve sailed on 15 cruises, most of them with Disney Cruise Line, and I’ve traveled extensively through Disney parks, Adventures by Disney escorted tours, and Disney resort experiences worldwide.

Whether you’ve never set foot on a ship or you’ve sailed dozens of times, I listen first. Then I build a plan around what you actually want, not a one-size-fits-all itinerary designed for someone half your age.

How can I book a trip with you?

It starts with a conversation. Reach out through the contact form, send me an email at Tim@MaddenTravels.com, or find me on Facebook or Instagram. We’ll talk through where you’re dreaming of going, what kind of experience you’re after, and what your budget looks like. From there, I do the research, compare the options, and bring you a personalized recommendation.

Why work with a travel advisor instead of booking online?

You can absolutely book a cruise yourself online. But here’s what you get when you work with me that a website can’t offer: someone who actually knows these ships, has eaten in those dining rooms, and can tell you which cabin categories are worth the upgrade and which ones aren’t.

I also advocate for you if anything goes wrong like a cancelled port, a pricing error, an itinerary change. And I watch prices after you book. If a better promotion comes out before you sail, I’ll get it applied.

What destinations do you cover?

Cruises are my specialty including ocean cruises across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, Europe, and beyond, plus river cruises through some of the world’s most beautiful inland waterways. On the Disney side, I cover Disney Cruise Line, all Walt Disney World and Disneyland parks, Adventures by Disney escorted tours, and Aulani resort in Hawaii.

I also help with the full picture: pre- and post-cruise hotels, airport and port transfers, shore excursions, travel insurance, and passport and documentation checks. Think of it as one-stop planning for everything from the moment you leave home to the moment you return.
