About Dmitry

For decades, I planned and booked my own travel, always researching the options, comparing itineraries, cabins, hotels, and prices to make sure I was getting the best experience for the money. I love to travel — but I have to admit, I love finding a great deal almost as much! Over the years, I realized that I genuinely enjoy the planning process: finding the right cruise, choosing the best cabin, comparing promotions, and uncovering the little extras that can make a vacation even better. Today, I use that same approach to help my clients plan trips that fit their interests, preferences, and budget. Cruising is a particular passion of mine, and I enjoy helping both first-time cruisers and experienced travelers navigate the many choices available. My goal is simple: make the planning easy, provide straightforward advice, and help my clients get the best overall value — not simply the lowest advertised price. I treat every trip the way I would plan one for myself or my family, and I’m always happy to answer questions, compare options, and help make the entire experience as smooth as possible.

Travel Adventures

Travel has been part of my life for decades, and cruising has become one of my favorite ways to see the world. Living in Southern California, I especially enjoy sailing from Los Angeles to Mexico. It is incredibly convenient to leave from a local port, avoid the airport altogether, and start the vacation almost immediately. I’ve taken a number of Mexican Riviera cruises and have firsthand experience with what makes these easy West Coast getaways so appealing. My travels have also taken me throughout the Caribbean, as well as to Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Egypt, and many parts of Eastern Europe. I enjoy experiencing different destinations, cultures, ships, and itineraries — but I also pay close attention to the practical details: cabin location, itinerary, onboard experience, transportation, and overall value. That firsthand experience helps me give my clients practical advice, especially when comparing cruises and deciding which option offers the best combination of convenience, experience, and price.

Awards & Certifications

  • I have completed extensive professional training and certification programs with many of the world’s leading cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Scenic, and Explora Journeys.
  • My cruise-line education includes training in ships, destinations, accommodations, onboard experiences, luxury cruising, and helping travelers select the cruise line and itinerary that best fit their preferences and budget. I continue to participate in supplier training to stay current on new ships, itineraries, promotions, and cruise experiences.

Reviews

Our Avoya agent Dmitry P has been incredible to work with. He has answered every question we have asked and offered great advice too. He has been able to get everything on our wish list. Highly recommend and will use again in the future. - Janet B.
Dmitry Prokopenko put together an excellent quote for me. I have not booked it yet and I know prices can change. I have too hold up until next week to book. This is no fault of his I have some things that will be aligned next mid week to book. - Ralph K.
