Before the Itinerary, There’s You.

I’m Erik, a travel advisor with a storyteller’s heart and a strategist’s eye. I design immersive, slow-paced travel that centers rhythm, beauty, and ease. Think bespoke honeymoons, soul-stirring small ship cruises, and group escapes designed to stir your sense of wonder.

Every itinerary begins with you—your pace, your preferences, your quiet wish to wander. Great travel isn’t just planned—it’s felt. The right hotel sets the tone. The route gives you room to breathe. The everyday becomes unforgettable.

Whether you're traveling solo, celebrating love, or chasing something new, I’ll craft a journey that’s personal, beautifully paced, and entirely yours.

    Small Ship & River Cruising

    Experience the world with intimacy and intention.
    Small ship and river cruises unlock exclusive destinations, immersive itineraries, and highly personalized service—sailing where larger ships simply can’t. Whether you're gliding through Europe’s storied rivers, venturing into remote expedition waters, or indulging in refined luxury at sea, these journeys offer a more meaningful, more memorable way to travel.

    Travel is better together.
    Whether you're marking a milestone, gathering chosen family, or planning an adventure with like-minded explorers, I make group travel seamless. Enjoy stress-free coordination, elevated perks, and curated moments that bring people closer. From the first planning call to the final shared toast, we’ll create something unforgettable—together.

    LGBTQ+ Travel

    Travel should feel as affirming as it is inspiring.
    I specialize in inclusive, celebratory journeys where you’re safe to be your whole self. Whether you're exploring vibrant LGBTQ+ destinations, joining a hosted group, or planning a romantic escape, I only work with partners who prioritize diversity and belonging—so wherever you go, you’ll feel at home, seen, and celebrated.

Journeys Remembered

  • Working with Erik was an absolute dream. We wanted a truly special honeymoon but didn’t have the time (or energy) to plan every detail. Having worked in hospitality, I was hesitant to hand over control, but Erik exceeded my high expectations. We didn’t even have a destination in mind when we started—just a vision board. Erik took that and created the perfect trip, booking unique luxury resorts, seamless travel, and incredible experiences; our private market tour and cooking class in Bangkok was a highlight we never would have found on our own. He listened to our priorities and budget, handled every detail, and made planning effortless and fun. Thanks to Erik, we fully relaxed and enjoyed every moment. We’ll be working with him for all our future travels and can’t recommend him enough—if you’re considering working with Erik, don’t hesitate!

  • I can’t recommend Erik Scheets enough! Our cruise was canceled less than 48 hours before sailing, leaving our family shocked and disappointed. Erik stepped in immediately, working late into Friday night and all weekend to keep us informed and find solutions. He went above and beyond to ensure we never felt abandoned, answering every call and text promptly and helping us navigate the situation. Thanks to his dedication, we’re now rescheduled for a new cruise with no extra expenses to worry about. If you’re looking for a travel agent who will truly be by your side and make sure you’re happy, Erik is your guy!
