From the Heart: How One Travel Advisor Is Bringing Back the Human Touch to Travel

When you speak with Anne Gautreau, it doesn’t take long to realize—you’re not just talking to someone who books travel. You’re speaking with someone who lives and breathes it.

Originally from the UK, Anne’s path to travel wasn’t built on trendy hashtags or social media influencers. It came from something deeper: a lifelong love of exploration, a knack for organizing, and a genuine desire to help people have the best experiences of their lives.

“It’s not just about the destination—it’s about the journey. And I want that journey to be smooth, meaningful, and stress-free for every client.”

Today, Anne runs Anne G Travels, a full-service travel agency under the Cruise Planners franchise. From all-inclusive resorts to custom honeymoon packages and cruises across the globe, Anne helps people plan everything—down to the last detail.

 

More Than Cruises, More Than Just Bookings

The name Cruise Planners might make you think she only books cruises—but that’s just the beginning.

“Yes, I do cruises. But I also plan land trips, international getaways, honeymoons, family vacations—you name it.”

Anne’s clients come from all over the country, and no matter where they’re headed, she takes care of the little details that most people don’t even know they need to think about. Passport expiration dates, visa requirements, health regulations—Anne stays ahead so you don’t fall behind.

 

A Business Built on Trust

Anne doesn’t treat her clients like numbers. She treats them like family. That means handwritten thank-you cards, answering the phone after hours, and sending reminders for things that could easily slip through the cracks.

“This is their trip. Their money. Their memories. It matters to me that everything goes right.”

She’s the person you want in your corner if anything unexpected comes up, and clients know they can count on her—because she’s proven it time and again.

 

A Heart for Community

Although Anne serves clients across the U.S., she’s proudly based in Buckeye, Arizona, where she’s a member of the local Chamber of Commerce and active in community efforts. Last year, she helped organize a water drive during Phoenix’s record summer heat, personally delivering truckloads to help the local homeless population.

“It doesn’t matter what your job is—if you can do something good for someone else, you do it.”

 

Growth, Grit, and the Future

Anne’s travel business started just as the world shut down. But instead of pausing, she trained, networked, and prepared. Now, she’s hitting major milestones—including Cruise Planners’ Millionaire Club for total sales. And she’s not slowing down.

Her husband recently joined the business part-time, and they’ve got a five-year plan that includes hiring more agents, opening a storefront, and eventually rising into the top 50 Cruise Planners nationwide.

“There’s one agent who’s always at number one. One day, I’d love to knock him off the top spot. Why not?”

 

It’s Not Just Travel. It’s Peace of Mind.

In today’s world of scams, bots, and fake websites, working with a real travel advisor matters more than ever.

“Don’t Google if there’s an issue. Call your agent. I’m here to protect you, and I’ll fight to fix whatever needs fixing.”

From your first phone call to the moment you return home, Anne is there every step of the way—making sure everything goes just right, and that if it doesn’t, you’re not alone.
