Meet your cruise travel advisor
Avid cruiser. Thoughtful planner.
Your Captain Ron.
Real-world travel experience with a personality to match.
Ron Rushmeyer • Founder & travel advisor
I love the journey.
I respect the details.
After more than 55 cruises and extensive travel around the world, I know that a memorable vacation begins long before embarkation.
I have cruised Alaska, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. I have also worked as an in-house Viking travel agent. Today, I bring that firsthand perspective to an independent agency devoted exclusively to Viking.
My job starts with listening. How much exploration feels right? What would make the trip special? Where will your vacation budget do the most good? Those answers shape the itinerary, stateroom, flights, excursions, and extensions we consider together.
Once you book, I help you prepare, review relevant updates, and work through questions. I remain available as a contact during your travels, and I follow up when you return.
Captain Ron is my travel-advisor personality. Viking’s ship captains and onboard crews operate your voyage; I help you plan it.

Focus makes
the difference.
River, ocean, and expedition cruising offer very different experiences. Specializing in Viking lets me go deeper into those choices and explain the details that matter to your trip.
You get a dedicated advisor, a conversation built around your goals, and usually-free planning services. Any additional agency fee is explained and agreed before you commit.
We can meet by phone, Zoom, or FaceTime, or arrange a group presentation or an in-home consultation where practical.
