About
Family-run, built around yours
I'm Tyler, the person behind Eckard Travel Co. This is a family-run travel advisory — no call center, no script, just someone who actually plans your trip and answers when you call. I started it to bring the kind of personal attention my own family looks for in a travel advisor to other families planning cruises, Disney trips, and all-inclusive getaways.
How working together actually goes
No pressure, no obligation to book — just a conversation about what you're picturing for your trip.
Inquiry
You tell me what you have in mind — destination, dates (even rough ones), who's coming, and what matters most to you.
Consult
We talk it through — by email or a call, whichever you'd rather. I ask questions, you get honest answers, no sales pitch.
Planning
I put together options that fit your family, your budget, and your priorities, and walk you through the trade-offs.
Booking
Once you're ready, I handle the booking details, payments schedule, and paperwork so you don't have to.
Travel-day support
If something comes up while you're traveling, you have a real person to call — not a hold queue.
Credentials
Who's actually planning your trip

Working toward CLIA EMBARC certification — ongoing, formal training specific to cruise planning.
Eckard Travel Co. is a single-member NC LLC. Family-run means exactly that — it's me, not a team of agents rotating through your file.
