Heather Wardenaar
My love of travel started when I was in high school and I signed up to be an exchange student with Rotary International and spent 1 year in The Netherlands. After that year, there was just no stopping the travel bug. I have spent most of my career in the travel industry and after spending 13 years living and working on cruise ships, I decided to hang my hat with Come and See Travel to plan vacations!
Most of my career was spent working on ships with Disney Cruise Line, Carnival, and Holland America Line (both corporate and onboard). My husband is still an engineer on board and, along with our kids, I sail with him full-time as much as I can. While on board I managed the kids club, planned crew events, and for half of my time on ships, I planned future cruises. While working for corporate I managed the Future Cruise department for 11 ships with Holland America Line. I worked with groups of all sizes, individual bookings, booked 7-day cruises to 128-day Grand World Voyages and everything in between. I have been lucky enough to travel to 65+ countries and 6 continents while working on board and have traveled extensively on my own – my kids have been to more countries than I had ever dreamed of at their age! As a family, we love taking trips to Disney. We have spent many holidays at Disney - a few Christmases, Halloween on the High Seas and all of the Epcot festivals. Disney is our happy place and I love planning all of the details for my clients. I would be honored to help you plan your next vacation!
