Tidewater Cruise & Travel · Bel Air, Maryland
Who We Are
We are a full-service travel agency built on one idea: the right trip, planned well, becomes a memory you carry for life. We've spent nearly 17 years helping people get that right.
Memories frame your life — particularly vacation memories. You may not recall what someone gave you for your birthday ten years ago, but you remember where you were and who you were with on vacation. Planning a trip well is harder than it looks. The internet offers infinite information, and some of it might even be true. At Tidewater, we help you sort through the noise to find the best value for your needs — and then we make sure you enjoy getting there.

Your partners in every itinerary
Janet Blackwell
Janet specializes in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and escorted travel worldwide. In 17 years as a travel advisor she has earned some of the most prestigious certifications the industry offers — and more importantly, she has done the travel herself. The resort she recommends is one she has stayed at. The itinerary she builds is one she has traveled.
Her clients know her as the person who has already read the fine print on the insurance policy before they've even thought to ask the question.
Jeff Blackwell
Jeff specializes in custom land tours and adventure travel — the kind of trips that require more than a booking engine. Whether it's a Galápagos expedition, an African safari, or an Antarctica voyage aboard a purpose-built expedition ship, he brings 15 years of travel advisory experience and a researcher's instinct for the itinerary that actually fits.
He also writes about travel and food at Well Traveled, Well Fed — because the best trips and the best meals have always had a lot in common.
