I’m Amanda, founder of HB Travel, and cruising has become one of my great passions. I may have come to cruising a little later than some, but I’m certainly making up for lost time! I love discovering the different ships, destinations and experiences available, and helping people find the cruise that feels right for them.

At HB Travel, we can help you explore everything from relaxing ocean and river cruises to luxury, family-friendly and adults-only sailings. Whether you know exactly where you want to go or are just starting to dream, I’d love to help you plan a cruise worth looking forward to.
