Luxury cruise planning with Kris Murphy
One experienced advisor. Every detail considered. Your suite, flights, transfers and hotels, shaped around the people you love and the way you want to feel when you get there.
A significant trip deserves more than a list of options. It deserves someone who listens for what you haven't quite put into words yet: the right pace, the table your family will remember, the suite that makes the whole voyage click.
I keep my business intentionally personal. You talk with me, plan with me, and have me beside you as the details come together. No hand off. No call center.
The best part of my work is when clients come home and tell me everything.

Only when you book with an advisor
On select Signature Collection Hosted Sailings, booked through me, you receive privileges you would not get booking directly with the cruise line:

You don't need to arrive with a perfect plan. Bring me the spark: the dates, the people, the feeling you're after, or even just the reason you need to get away.
What are you celebrating? Who's coming? What would make you say, "That was exactly right"?

I handle every booking detail and stay a phone call away until you're home.
A note from your advisor
I spent years as a senior cruise and luxury specialist with a large travel company, and I've sailed more than fifteen cruises myself. I built BowsAway around the way I believe travel should feel: personal, thoughtful, and rooted in a real relationship.
BowsAway is intentionally small. You work with me, start to finish, and you have my direct number. My favorite part is getting to know the people behind the plans and hearing about the trip when they're home.
Kris Murphy, founder
From clients whose cruises and honeymoons Kris has planned.
Kris is the most thoughtful travel advisor. We booked over seven cruises with her and even lived on a cruise ship during COVID. My husband won’t book using his personal travel executive from the company he owns because Kris does a better job, has more knowledge, and has become like family! She has the sweetest personality and feels like a family member, and we send her all our friends and family.

I cannot say enough great things about the amazing Kris! I have never worked with someone who loves cruises more than she does, and she loves what she does, it shows! She got us so excited for our first Viking cruise. She arranged extra tours and guides before and after the trip. She is the best travel agent and should charge a fee! Just call her, you’ll be hooked!
Tom G.
She found us the best deals on the booking, and was able to get in touch with at any time for help! If I could give 6 stars I would!
