Specializing in River & Ocean Cruises

My name is John Miller, and I am the owner of Freestate Travel.

Simply put, I love river cruising. With 17 sailings under my belt – and more on the books over the coming year – combined with extensive industry training, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what sets each cruise line apart, as well as the unique character of the rivers they sail.

I am also a big fan of small ship ocean cruising. Similar to river cruising, small ships allow you to go to ports that larger ships cannot, and the onboard experience is more intimate than the larger ocean liners.

I know firsthand that choosing the right cruise can feel overwhelming. There are so many options, and not all experiences are created equal. My role as a river and ocean cruise specialist is to simplify that process for you. I focus on two key goals: matching you with the cruise line that best fits your travel style and preferences, and helping you choose the itinerary that delivers the experience you’re truly looking for.

The best part? You’ll pay no more than booking direct – often with added perks like onboard credit. I approach every trip as if it were my own, always prioritizing your interests and ensuring a seamless, high-quality experience from start to finish.

If you’re considering a river – or ocean – cruise, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out anytime to start the conversation.
