Meet Charlotte M. "Charly" Ekis
Travel has always been more than a vacation to me—it's an opportunity to discover new places, experience different cultures, and create memories that last a lifetime. That passion for travel inspired me to become a Travel Advisor with Dream Vacations more than 12 years ago, and today I have the privilege of helping my clients turn their travel dreams into reality.
As a proud woman veteran and owner of a veteran-owned travel business, I understand the value of service, attention to detail, and building lasting relationships. Those same principles guide the way I work with every client. Whether you're planning your first cruise, a once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list journey, or your next annual getaway, my goal is to make the entire process seamless, enjoyable, and stress-free.
My expertise comes not only from professional training and industry partnerships, but also from firsthand experience. Having sailed on more than 25 cruises, I've explored a wide variety of ships, cruise lines, destinations, and travel styles. This personal experience allows me to provide practical advice, insider tips, and honest recommendations tailored to your travel goals.
I specialize in luxury ocean cruises, luxury river cruises, and escorted tours, helping travelers experience the world in comfort and style. From sailing the rivers of Europe and exploring Alaska's breathtaking scenery to discovering the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and beyond, I work closely with my clients to match them with the perfect itinerary, cruise line, and travel experience.
As part of the Dream Vacations network, I have access to exclusive promotions, preferred travel partners, and industry resources that help deliver exceptional value and personalized service. Every traveler is unique, which is why I take the time to understand your interests, preferences, and budget before designing a customized travel experience.
Whether you're looking for a luxury river cruise through Europe, an unforgettable ocean voyage, a premium escorted tour, or a carefully planned group trip, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
I believe travel should be exciting, enriching, and worry-free—and I would be honored to help you plan your next adventure.
