My story

Travel is transformational. It changes your perspective, broadens your mind, frees your spirit, and opens you up to new opportunities and possibilities. As a Travel Consultant with Superior Travel Consultants, I specialize in cruises, all-inclusive vacations, and curated travel experiences for families, solo travelers, and groups. Cruising is one of my greatest travel passions. There's something special about waking up to a new destination, enjoying everything a ship has to offer, and experiencing multiple places in one unforgettable journey. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler looking for your next adventure at sea, I enjoy helping clients find the cruise experience that best fits their travel style. I believe travel can be about much more than simply getting away. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, connection, celebration, or an opportunity to rest and recharge, the right travel experience can create lasting memories and give you a fresh perspective. Some of my favorite destinations include Alaska, Aruba, Bermuda, Ireland, Mexico, and the Caribbean, and I love helping clients discover the experiences that make each destination unique. Personally, I also enjoy exploring different cultures, learning about the history and stories behind the places I visit, and discovering the people, traditions, and experiences that give each destination its own character. With a background in event planning, I'm especially passionate about organizing family reunions, group trips, and memorable getaways that bring people together. I take the time to understand each client's needs, preferences, expectations, and priorities so I can help match them with the destination and experience that's right for them. I'm also passionate about the growing role travel can play in helping people step away from the demands of everyday life to rest, reset, recharge, and reconnect. From relaxing all-inclusive escapes to meaningful group experiences, I believe travel can provide the space we sometimes need to return home feeling refreshed and renewed. Travel has been one of my strongest passions for as long as I can remember, and I love helping others experience the joy, discovery, connection, and transformation that travel can bring.

First-hand notes published for MARY SUSAN SCHILLING, together with more real Superior Travel Consultants client experiences.

Mary is the absolute best!!! Making travel arrangements can be SO stressful, not to mention time-consuming! If you have a trip in mind that's even remotely complicated, i.e. is going to take research, budgeting, accommodating special needs/requests, and plenty of back-and-forth follow-up to make it your dream trip, just STOP right now and call Mary!!! She patiently and diligently helped me put together a gift getaway for my sister, who, while exceedingly kind, is an extremely busy person to nail down and get answers from. Mary was up to task! I was able to provide her with my sister's preferences--or at least what I thought they might be--and Mary came up with a range of options to present to her that had them--and which also worked within my stated budget. She patiently worked with my sister to learn her actual preferences and with me separately on the financials, and after months of patiently prodding my sister to nail down dates once she'd picked a place, she put together a beautiful trip that was just where my sister wanted to go and with all the activities she wanted! My sister was thrilled with her getaway!! She enjoyed herself tremendously thanks to Mary's patience and meticulous planning. I can't recommend Mary enough for taking the hassle out of making travel arrangements! She's friendly, understanding, and very professional. On top of every detail, she delivers the peace of mind you hope for when taking a trip. If you're thinking of traveling, big trip or small, do yourself a favor and call her. You and everyone involved will be very glad you did!
