Travel Agent in Knoxville, TN Who Books the Whole World
Need a travel agent in Knoxville, TN? Hi, I’m Fox! This is the place to start for any trip. I’m an Independent Travel Advisor affiliated with MEI-Travel, based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and I plan cruises, Disney trips, all-inclusive resorts, escorted tours, and group travel for clients worldwide. Planning fees are $0, and I’ll get your quote started right away during business hours.
A Knoxville, TN travel advisor with small-town service and big reach
Whatever kind of trip you’re planning, start here. You get one person who knows you and your trip, plus the reach to book almost anywhere. I’m based right here in Knoxville, TN, and I work with travelers wherever they live. Big trip or quick getaway, you’ll get the same attention.
Trips I plan
Cruises. Every major line, from Royal Caribbean and Celebrity to Princess, Holland America, Norwegian, and Virgin. See my Knoxville cruise travel agent page, or plan a trip with your Alaska cruise travel advisor.
Disney parks and cruises. Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line.
All-inclusive resorts. Pick the resort that fits your crew, and I’ll handle the booking.
Escorted tours. Let someone else lead the way while you enjoy the sights.
Group travel and events. Reunions, weddings, milestone trips, and more.
What a travel agent costs in Knoxville
Working with me costs $0 in planning fees. You pay the same price as booking direct, and the travel supplier pays me. Select bookings even come with extras, like onboard credit and/or a welcome-aboard gift on select cruise bookings.
Why book with a local advisor instead of online
Online sites can’t pick up the phone when something goes sideways. With me, you get one person from quote to home. I solve problems, reprice your trip if the price drops, and pass along perks on select bookings. You get real answers, not a chatbot.
Flying out of Knoxville
McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is the easy starting point for most trips. Sometimes flying out of Atlanta or Nashville makes more sense, and I’ll tell you honestly when it does. TYS has nonstops to more than 30 cities, including Atlanta on Delta and Nashville on Southwest. When a bigger airport has a better schedule or fare for your trip, we’ll compare it side by side.
Planning by phone or email from anywhere
You don’t need to live in Knoxville to work with me! I plan trips by phone and email for clients worldwide, in any time zone. Send me your ideas, and I’ll take it from there.
Credentials and MEI-Travel backing
I’m an Independent Travel Advisor affiliated with MEI-Travel. I hold the CLIA ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor, a Cruise Lines International Association certification) and the CTA from The Travel Institute, so you get personal service with an agency behind it. More on the About Fox page.

FAQ
Are travel agents still worth it in 2026?
Yes! You pay $0 planning fees and the same price as booking direct, and you get a real person handling the details. I reprice when prices drop, solve problems when plans change, and pass along perks on select bookings. You get expert help and backup for your trip without paying extra for it.
How much does a travel agent in Knoxville, TN charge?
I charge $0 in planning fees. You pay the same price you’d pay booking direct, so my help doesn’t add to your trip cost. Every trip gets a quote I start on right away, and select cruise bookings include onboard credit and/or a welcome-aboard gift on top of that.
What kinds of trips can a Knoxville travel agent book?
I plan cruises on every major line, Disney parks and cruises, all-inclusive resorts, escorted tours, and group trips and events. Whether it’s a family vacation, a honeymoon at an all-inclusive, or a big reunion, I can help. Tell me what you have in mind, and I’ll put options together.
Is Fox Does Travel a local Knoxville business?
Yes! Fox Does Travel is based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I’m an Independent Travel Advisor affiliated with MEI-Travel, so you get a local, personal advisor with an agency behind me. I also plan trips for clients worldwide, so you’re welcome whether you live down the street or across the country.
Can you plan Disney World or Disneyland trips from Knoxville?
Absolutely! I plan Disney World and Disneyland vacations, plus Disney Cruise Line sailings. I’ll help you sort out the details and choose what fits your family, then handle the booking. Planning fees are $0, and I’ll start on your quote as soon as I’m in the office. Just send me your dates and who’s going!
Do you plan group trips, weddings, or family reunions?
Yes! I plan group travel and events, including reunions, weddings, church trips, and milestone celebrations. One advisor handles the details, so the organizer doesn’t have to do it all. Send me a rough headcount, your dates, and the occasion, and I’ll put together options your group can choose from.
What is the difference between a travel agent and a travel advisor?
Mostly the name! Both book travel for you. “Advisor” puts the focus on the planning help: recommending the right trip, solving problems, and watching for price drops. That’s how I work. I hold the CTA from The Travel Institute and the CLIA ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor, a Cruise Lines International Association certification), and I treat every trip like a plan, not a transaction.
How fast will I get a quote?
I work on quotes during business hours: Monday to Thursday 10 AM to 6 PM ET and Friday 10 AM to 4 PM ET, closed weekends. Send me your dates, who’s traveling, and what kind of trip you want, and I’ll get to work. If I need anything else, I’ll ask in one quick note so we can keep things moving. Reach me on my contact page.
Do I have to live in Knoxville to work with you?
No! I’m based in Knoxville, TN, but I plan trips for travelers worldwide. Everything works by phone and email, in any time zone. You’ll get the same personal quotes, $0 planning fees, and one advisor who knows your trip, no matter where you live. Reach out from anywhere!
Every trip gives back
When you book with me, a portion of my commission goes to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. That’s on every booking, all year long. Dolly’s program mails free books to kids every month, and I love that your vacation can help put a book in a child’s hands!
On top of that, through November 30, 2026, MEI-Travel, the agency I’m affiliated with, is making a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation when you book. It costs you nothing extra!
