About Anne Conrad

I’m the person behind Captain’s Log Travel — a certified cruise and vacation specialist in Vermilion, Ohio, and I believe a trip planned by someone who knows you beats a trip booked by an algorithm.

Charting Your Course by Land and Sea

Welcome aboard. I’m Anne Conrad, owner of Captain’s Log Travel in Vermilion, Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie. I founded this agency out of a genuine love of the sea and of travel itself, and I started it so I could share that love — and the destinations I discover — with my clients.

When I travel, I look for places that feel welcoming and safe, where you can relax, explore, and be looked after well. Those are the destinations I bring home and share with my clients — from the Caribbean to Alaska, and from Italy to Australia.

Whether you are dreaming of an ocean cruise, a river cruise, an all-inclusive resort, a Christmas market journey, or a land vacation built entirely around you, I will help you chart the course. I work with all the major cruise lines, and I can build custom and bucket-list packages that pull the flights, stays, tours, and sailing together into one easy plan.

You also get the best of both worlds: personal, local service from someone here in Vermilion, backed by the exclusive offers, amenities, and industry connections that come with my Travel Leaders Network affiliation. And there is no service fee for my help — you get a dedicated advisor in your corner at no extra cost.

I’m the person who will actually answer when you call Captain’s Log Travel.

LGBTQ+ travel is a specialty close to my heart — many of my clients are couples, friends, and groups from the community who book with me because I understand the trip from the inside.

And a word about Kathy, because this isn’t really a one-woman show. I’m the one who plans and books your trip, but Kathy is right there behind the scenes — keeping a hundred other things moving, at the office and at home, that my planning hours would otherwise take me away from. Without her, I couldn’t do this — or much of anything else — the way I do. When a trip comes together smoothly, some of that is her work, too.
