Are you ready to escape the ordinary?  As Albert Einstein once said, “The only source of knowledge is experience.”  With my knowledge and experience, allow me to show you how to immerse yourself at a destination you will never forget and make lasting memories. From exotic places like African safaris, to watching tropical fish swim through the glass floor of an over the water bungalow in Bora Bora, cruising through the Panama Canal locks and cuddling with island monkeys, parasailing over the blue waters of Hawaii, cave tubing in the dark in Belize, white water rafting in Colorado, skydiving over Texas, staying in authentic old century castles in Ireland, chartering private yachts and sailing around the San Blas Islands, watching whales breach and spotting wildlife around glaciers calving with snowcapped mountain tops, let us work together with my experience to plan the ultimate trip of a lifetime for you. I have had the opportunity to experience specialty and quality trips from different cruise lines, excursion companies and hotel accommodations.  Now, let me put my background and experience to work for you.

Destinations-Europe-(Italy, England, Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium), Ireland-(Dublin, Hayfield, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Shannon), French Polynesia-Bora Bora, Alaska-(Seward, Skagway, Ketchikan, Juneau, Anchorage, Homer, Hanes), Hawaii-(Oahu, Maui, Big Island), Mexico-(Cabo, Cozumel, Manzanillo, Costa Maya, Ixtalpa, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco)  South America-(Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama City, Panama Canal), Caribbean-(Nassau, Freeport, Anguilla) Virgin Islands-St Thomas, St Barts, Cayman Islands-Grand Cayman, British Territory-Turks & Caicos, Central America-Belize, San Blas Islands by private yacht, Canada-(Calgary, Banff, Vancouver, Victoria), Africa-(Johannesburg, Limpopo) and numerous States in the United States.

Suppliers-I would love to work with cruise lines and luxury lines. I have personal experience with Celebrity, Princess, Norwegian, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, Marriott Hotels, Hyatt Hotels, and Hilton Hotels. Tour companies such as Viator, Expedia, Sandals/Beaches, RIU Hotels, Southwest Vacations, Vax, Apple, Funjet, Pleasant Vacations are just some of the suppliers.

Experience-I have always loved to travel and have been fortunate to travel to many destinations around the world firsthand.  I have many favorite destinations and want to share and plan for others so you too can create your own memories and check off your personal bucket lists. Although I am new as a Nexion independent agent, I have been traveling all over the world since I was 5 years old and have been planning friends and family vacations for over 25 years. I have been on at least 15 Princess Cruises, 3 Celebrity Cruises, Carnival, Royal Caribbean as well as a private yacht. I have been to Alaska at least 10 times, Mexico 15 plus times, numerous cruises through Caribbean and Central America and South America.

Bucket Lists- Mediterranean Cruise, Tahiti Cruise, Australia, Niagara Falls, Maldives.“Make a Bucket List and fill it with dreams and no boundaries.” Annette White“Stop dreaming about your bucket list and start living it.” Annette White

My first time using a travel agent!
April was very easy to work with, and she was very attentive. There was never a time that I could not contact her or ask a question that she could not answer for me. She was both professional and super friendly. Her knowledge of the travel industry and my location were very impressive! I highly recommend April for anyones future travels, including my own!

Exceptional Service
I recently had the pleasure of working with April Marshall, owner of 5 Star Travel to plan a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, and I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. From the very beginning, April demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. April took the time to understand my travel preferences and budget; and then crafted a personalized itinerary that exceeded expectations. Every aspect of the trip—from flights and airport transfers to resort accommodations and local excursions—was handled seamlessly. The resort recommended was absolutely stunning and offered all the amenities we had hoped for. What truly stood out was April's responsiveness and proactive communication. Even during the trip, April remained available for questions and support, which gave me great peace of mind. Thanks to her expertise, our experience in Cabo was stress-free, luxurious, and unforgettable. I highly recommend April Marshall with 5 Star Travel for anyone plannin

The most fun we’ve ever had!
My husband and I traveled to Sandals St. Lucia for our honeymoon and April made the whole process so easy and seamless! She helped us do every single thing for our trip including booking flights, filling out immigration forms, and forms to enter back into the US (all of which we would never have known to do without her!) We both agreed we won’t do another trip without using her because of how helpful the whole experience was!! ???? she was incredibly flexible and kind throughout the whole process and we appreciate all of her hard work to make our trip the best it could be!!

A Dream Vacation to Switzerland!
I met April while we were both on a trip to Turks & Caicos and I mentioned my family wanted to go to Greece. April said she was a travel agent and had just returned from a trip to Greece. She gave me her business card and said she'd be happy to help us plan a trip to Greece. I contacted April a few months later and sure enough, she helped us plan a family trip to Greece. I should mention that I'm a seasoned traveler and plan most of my family's vacations, but Greece was certainly out of my league. April was a tremendous help in finding great hotels, coordinating transfers/ferries and planning itineraries. Fast forward 5 months later and terrible earthquakes hit Greece. Our family decided to cancel our trip to Greece and book Switzerland instead. Not only was April instrumental in helping us cancel all of the specifics for Greece, she also jumped right in to plan our trip to Switzerland. The trip was perfect - wonderful accommodations, great flights, excellent tours, and perfec

Perfectly planned vacation
April was so great to work with! She happily answered any of our questions and was able to get us fantastic rooms on our cruise ship. She went above and beyond to check in on us before and after our vacation. We are so grateful for the effort she put in to take care of us! Such a wonderful experience!
