About Mickey
Hi, I'm Mickey Blum — an independent travel agent specializing in cruises, hosted through Pachtman Travel Services. Whether you're dreaming about the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Alaska, or beyond, I'm here to make it happen without the stress of figuring it all out yourself.
Cruises are my passion and my specialty. I stay up-to-date on every major cruise line, ship, itinerary, and deal so you don't have to. As your dedicated agent, I take the time to understand exactly what you want — then find the cruise that fits your style, budget, and travel goals perfectly.
I'm not a booking engine. I'm a real person who picks up the phone, answers emails, and advocates for you when things don't go as planned.
What I Book
Cruises are my specialty, but my credentials let me book a wide range of travel experiences. Whatever your trip needs, I can handle it.
My main specialty. From budget-friendly to ultra-luxury, I'll find the perfect ocean cruise — right ship, right itinerary, right cabin, right price.
Explore Europe's rivers, the Nile, the Amazon, and more on intimate river cruise ships that dock right in the heart of every destination.
Ultra-luxury lines, small-ship expeditions, and polar voyages for travelers who want the extraordinary.
Pair your cruise with a resort stay or book a standalone all-inclusive vacation. Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond.
Pre- and post-cruise land tours, guided group tours, independent travel packages, and custom itineraries.
Book the hotels, airport transfers, and shore excursions that complete your trip — everything coordinated in one place.
Where Will You Go?
Every destination has its own magic. Here are some of the most sought-after cruise regions I book regularly.
Who I Work With
I have access to virtually every major cruise line — from mainstream to luxury to expedition. Don't see yours? Just ask.
Why Book with Me?
Booking direct or using a faceless website is fine — until it isn't. Here's why having a real agent in your corner makes all the difference.
Travel agents are paid by the cruise lines, not by you. You get expert help, and you pay the same price (or less) than booking direct.
I know which ships have the best balcony cabins, which itineraries suit first-timers vs. veterans, and which cruise lines are actually right for your style.
After you book, I continue monitoring for price drops, promotions, and upgrades. Cruise prices change — I make sure you benefit.
When something goes wrong — a missed port, a delayed flight, a billing issue — you have a real person who knows you and advocates for you.
I coordinate everything: cruise, pre-cruise hotel, transfers, travel insurance, shore excursions. One call, all covered.
I learn your preferences, travel style, and wish list — so every trip gets better. You're not a booking number; you're a client.
Happy Travelers
"Mickey found us an incredible deal on a Mediterranean cruise that we never would have found on our own — and coordinated everything seamlessly. Will never book any other way again."— Sarah & Tom, Mediterranean Cruise 2024
"First-time cruisers and Mickey walked us through everything. The ship recommendation was perfect for our family. We're already planning our next one and Mickey is the first call we're making."— The Johnson Family, Caribbean Cruise 2024
"I've booked with big websites before and always had something go wrong with no one to call. Mickey handled a last-minute issue at embarkation that would have ruined our trip. Priceless."— David R., Alaska Cruise 2023
