What we do…
Specially Designed Travel is a small boutique travel agency. We are affiliated with one of the largest travel networks in the country, giving us strong relationships with suppliers while remaining small enough to provide highly personal services to our clients.
HONEYMOONS
Whether it’s a dream honeymoon, a milestone anniversary, a peaceful babymoon, or a much-needed “just the two of us” getaway, crafting unforgettable romantic escapes is our specialty!
GROUP TRAVEL
Organizing a group getaway can be daunting. Juggling everyone’s preferences isn’t always easy—should you go with a guided tour, a private villa, or an all-inclusive resort? And once a choice is made, you still have to pick the best option and manage travel arrangements for the whole group.
DESTINATION WEDDINGS
Planning a wedding is demanding enough without adding the complexities of organizing travel for a destination celebration. We’re proud to remove that major task from our couples’ to-do lists, making the journey to “I do” that much smoother.
Who we are…
We believe love deserves to be celebrated through unforgettable travel experiences. Whether it is a destination wedding of your dreams, your honeymoon or a romantic escape, every journey is thoughtfully designed to reflect your unique story. When you choose Specially Designed Travel, you gain a trusted partner to create meaningful moments and seamless experiences.
Our team is proudly based across the country and serves clients wherever they, delivering personalized, attentive service from planning through return.
Karla Germann leads our destination wedding and groups travel services and her daughter Nicole Germann specializes honeymoon and couples travel. Tina and Stephen Shands are experts in Europe and luxury cruises.

What our clients say…
We just returned from an amazing trip to France to see the Women’s World Cup. Tina and Stephen guided us through the entire trip with amazing knowledge and great customer service. I had a question while we were overseas and they were super responsive, and giving us great little tips. I can’t even imagine trying to do this trip without their help. I can’t wait for my next trip!
“We are on our last stop at Pearl Harbor! Tina, I wanted to say thank you so much for recommending Karla. Our trip has been a once in a lifetime experience & Karla, you have been so responsive and planned an amazing anniversary celebration for us. We appreciate it so much! Karla planned the trip of a lifetime for us! When we had a flight delay, she was on it before we ever landed and had a new connecting flight scheduled. Stress free for sure!”
Kareen – Manor TX
“Karla was so helpful with planning our honeymoon! She worked with our budget and offered us some options and then adjusted when we wanted a longer stay. It was our first time traveling outside of the country and she gave us the best tips. Her travel instructions were so detailed – we knew exactly what to do. It would’ve been overwhelming otherwise as were not experienced travelers! The resort was exactly what we asked for. I will be booking with her again when the next vacation needs to be put on the calendar!”
Missy – Fairmont MN
Nicole at Specially Designed Travel is exceptional! Her in-depth knowledge, personalized recommendations, and attention to detail ensure an easy booking experience. From destination insights to itinerary planning, Nicole’s expertise shines through. Trust her to turn your trip into an unforgettable adventure!
“Our family vacation to Hawaii exceeded our expectations! Nicole gave us options to choose from and the resort we selected had a great room with an amazing view and it fit our family of five comfortably.
Nicole was great to work with. She was responsive to our questions and requests. She checked in with us throughout the proposal and booking process to make sure we had the information we needed to make a decision. She also checked in during the trip and we knew we could count on her if we needed her.
Thank you, Nicole for designing an amazing family vacation. These memories will be with us always!”
