About Robert Altman
Private Travel Planner · Cruise & Custom Itinerary Specialist · ACTA Member · TICO Certified
I’m Robert Altman — a Toronto-born, Kawartha Lakes-based travel planner with a passion for helping clients explore the world with ease and intention. Whether you're craving total relaxation or a deeper connection to the places you visit, I’ll help you plan a trip that reflects your style, pace, and priorities.
I specialize in cruise travel — ocean, river, expedition, and small-ship yachting — but I also offer full-service trip planning for land-based travel, resorts, rail journeys, and immersive cultural experiences. From a quick winter escape to a once-in-a-lifetime voyage, I’m here to make the planning seamless and the experience unforgettable.
Before working in travel, I spent more than a decade in strategic consulting and stakeholder engagement. That background trained me to listen closely, manage details carefully, and create tailored solutions — skills I now bring to every trip I design.
I have a special love for geography — not just maps and borders, but the ways land, water, culture, and people interact. Travel brings this to life in vivid ways:
Physical geography – think glaciers, volcanoes, rivers, and coastlines
Cultural geography – where languages, architecture, and cuisine are shaped by place
Environmental geography – understanding our impact as travelers
Human geography – how people live, move, and build community across the globe
You don’t have to be a geography buff to enjoy your trip — but if you are, we’ll have a lot to talk about. And if you just want somewhere sunny with good food and zero stress, I can make that happen too.
As a TICO-certified advisor and ACTA member, I bring professionalism, transparency, and trusted support to every client relationship. Whether you're planning your first cruise or your fifteenth custom journey, I'm here to guide the way.
