Brooke Lightner is a Pennsylvania-based travel advisor with The Cruisebrothers (joined February 2024) who brings real-world experience and a love of cruising to every trip she plans. With 50 days at sea, Brooke knows what it takes to turn a great itinerary into a smooth, stress-free vacation.

Her travel background includes classic American bucket-list stops like Mt. Rushmore, Florida’s Space Coast, and being a tourist in Washington, DC, plus memorable Great Lakes experiences such as Mackinaw Island, the Mackinac Bridge, Mackinaw City, and crossing the Blue Water Bridge. She’s also logged plenty of road-trip miles—having seen both ends of I-75 and driven through numerous states east of the Rocky Mountains.

Brooke first worked as a travel agent before COVID, earning multiple industry certifications. When the pandemic hit, the ongoing fees for booking-site access no longer made sense, so she stepped away to focus on steadier income. Today, she’s back doing what she loves—helping clients plan memorable getaways with practical guidance, thoughtful recommendations, and cruise-first expertise.
