Quick Answer: Cruise Planners® – Kirk & Jennifer Kanter (Sand & Seas Travel) plans ocean and river cruises, all-inclusive resort vacations, custom itineraries, theme park trips, group travel, and honeymoons for clients across Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and nationwide. Every service below is handled by the same local advisor from first call to final trip document, at no added cost versus booking direct.
Below is a breakdown of what we plan most, and where to go for more detail on each. For destination-specific planning – Alaska, European river cruising, the Mediterranean, and Antarctica – see the deeper guides on SandAndSeasTravel.com.
Ocean & River Cruises
We book every major cruise line – Regent, Silversea, Oceania, Viking, Celebrity, and more – and match the ship and itinerary to how you actually like to travel, not just what’s on sale. That includes Alaska cruise-and-land packages, European river cruises on the Rhine and Danube, and Caribbean or Mediterranean ocean sailings.
All-Inclusive Resorts
Caribbean and Mexican all-inclusive getaways, vetted property by property. We know which resorts overpromise and which ones deliver, because we’ve sent Milwaukee and Racine-area clients to them and heard back. Many of these destinations fly nonstop from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE), including Cancun, Punta Cana, and Montego Bay – we build your dates around the nonstop schedule when one exists.
Custom Vacations
Multi-country itineraries, independent touring, and trips with no template – built around your dates, budget, and pace, not a package tour’s fixed schedule.
Theme Park Vacations
Disney and Universal vacations planned by a Milwaukee-area travel agent who knows park logistics, dining reservations, and how to avoid the rookie mistakes that eat a full vacation day.
Group & Family Travel
Reunions, milestone birthdays, corporate incentive trips, and multi-generational travel where ten different opinions need one coordinator. See our full Group Travel Wisconsin guide for how we run larger trips start to finish.
Honeymoons, Weddings & Vow Renewals
From proposal to “I do” to the honeymoon – destination weddings, vow renewals, and honeymoon planning handled as one coordinated trip, not three separate bookings. LGBTQ+ couples get the same care and zero explaining required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a planning fee for any of these services?
No. Cruise Planners® – Kirk & Jennifer Kanter (Sand & Seas Travel) does not charge a planning fee. We’re compensated by the cruise line, resort, or tour operator, not by you, so the service costs the same or less than booking direct.
Which of these services is most popular with Milwaukee and Racine clients?
Ocean and river cruises and Caribbean all-inclusive resorts are our most-booked services locally, followed closely by multi-generational group travel and honeymoon planning.
Can you combine more than one of these services into a single trip?
Yes – a cruise-plus-land tour, a wedding with a guest room block plus a separate honeymoon, or a family reunion that combines a resort stay with a group excursion are all common combinations we plan regularly.
Do you help book flights out of Milwaukee for these trips?
Yes. Where Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) has a nonstop route to your destination, we build your itinerary around it so you’re not adding an unnecessary connection.
