Growing up in multicultural Winnipeg, Canada, Cheryl Gilmore vowed to one day travel and see the world. After graduating from design in Toronto (1991) and following a season of local theatre, a unique opportunity arose to experience the high seas and she joined the SS Norway. The Norway- once part of the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet – was the last of the great ocean liners.
Cheryl was hired as Wardrobe Supervisor for the Broadway musicals that were performed in the Saga Theatre. Fast forward decades, Cheryl has had the opportunity to work with multiple production companies and cruise lines worldwide including Royal Viking, Holland America, Renaissance and Silversea. She has sailed to multiple countries and travelled extensively in many countries (UK, Europe, Russia, the Philippines, South America) as well as numerous North American ports. After nearly 16 of years of “touring” for work, Cheryl became a full-time travel consultant so she could use her industry knowledge to benefit others. She has experience with destinations and ports all over the world, and the knowledge to maximize your choice of itinerary. Cheryl has travelled to six continents and has worked alongside leading travel brands for most of her life.
As a travel consultant with TourMagination’s partner, Bonaventure Travel, Cheryl not only specializes in cruises, but offers distinctive, individual programs that include customized cruise routes with special excursions, guided tours around Africa and Asia, and interesting activities like cooking classes in Italy. Working with TourMagination for the past 5 years, she has been helping to build engaging custom group tour itineraries to destinations including Cuba, India, Russia, France, Morocco, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Cheryl’s extensive experience and attention to detail enable her to plan stress-free itineraries that allow individuals, families, and groups to relax and enjoy their adventures.
“I believe that there is beauty in every destination and with every country, there are unique opportunities. I truly love crafting the best possible journeys so that travellers make the most out of their experiences.”
Cheryl Gilmore, Cruise & Travel Specialist, TourMagination
Thank you for keeping a relevant site and those are some of the areas I’ve traveled or hope to. Last Fall my older sister went by car to New England and Nova Scotia for ‘Leaves & Lighthouses’ person auto tour (4 of us). When the owner called me a few months ago I told her yes, I still hope to go on MFH tour 2021 if it is still being held. My son has lived W.Papua, INDO 8 years and I have visited often, and to see the grandsons. If I remain healthy there are still some areas of that country I have not explored. I have been in every state of Austalia, much of Asia, Israel, Spain & Portugal since retiring in 2013. Keep me in the loop and I will browse and do ‘wishful thinking.’
You’re welcome Jim. Sounds like you are an experienced traveller. Yes we will keep you in the loop about our tours. We all hope to travel again sometime soon.
If my health holds out (now 72) I hope to go on MFH tour to Indonesia in July 2021
That’s great Jim. We hope you can make it.
