Janna. Twenty-plus years of worldly wisdom.
Hi, I'm Janna. I'm your personal Certified Travel Counsellor (CTC) and Master Cruise Counsellor (MCC), working independently from Airdrie, Alberta. With more than twenty years of experience, sixty-plus sailings, and partnerships with more than thirty cruise lines, I'm here to help you make every travel dollar work harder.
How a single
sailing became
a profession.
I've been traveling since I was in diapers, first on great trips with my parents and later creating adventures with my own family. On one memorable road trip, I handed my kids a paper map and challenged them to figure out where we were by following the highways. I've been reading the route, and helping others discover theirs, ever since.
After twenty-five years in the corporate world, a career in travel felt like the only logical next step. That's how Great Latitudes Travel began.
I plan all kinds of vacations, but I'm especially passionate about cruises and intercontinental travel. Whether you're cruising through Europe's storybook landscapes, discovering the vibrant cultures of Asia, or experiencing the incredible wildlife and scenery of South Africa, I'll help you create a journey that's uniquely yours.
I take the time to get to know you so your planning stays seamless. I'll already know you prefer an aisle seat on the plane, a balcony cabin on your cruise, or butler service at your hotel. The best part of my day is bringing your travel dreams to life.
What that means for your trip: nothing about it gets generic. The route is shaped to how you actually travel, the cabin is chosen the way you'd choose it yourself if you knew what to ask, and the person who plans it is the person who answers when something needs sorting on day six.

Never worked
with a travel
advisor?
Here's how it goes.
You won't be sold to.
First call is a conversation, not a pitch. If a cruise isn't right for the trip you're imagining, we'll say so.
You'll see real prices.
Every quote includes the cruise fare, available perks, and a clear itemized summary of what's included.
You'll have one person.
From cabin selection to the airport transfer at the end, you'll be working with one dedicated advisor. Not a queue.

If you'd rather poke around before reaching out, these three are the usual entry points.
