Linda Skinner

Job Titles:
  • Co - Owner
I have always had a passion for travel from my earliest days on through today. Experiencing different cultures and peoples is high on my list. Fortunately, I have been able to enjoy dozens of cruises, from wonderful river boats to glamourous mega-ships. From AMA Waterways to Viking Ocean, to Silverseas to Celebrity, my cruise experience is world-wide and wide-ranging. When asked, what's my favorite cruise, my answer is always-the next one! My experience is very different from most travel counselors. I have been a pastor at my local church for many years and I think that gives me a great platform to understand the wishes and needs of my vacation clients (more like friends in the making). I have also been associated with travel for many years, first with Holland America Line as a spouse to their PR Director, and then as co-owner of Cruise Holidays of Woodinville for the past 19 years. My goal is to craft the best possible vacation experience for all of my customers, and give them my ultimate in details, follow-throughs and advice.
