hello!

I’m Onanta Forbes and travel defines who I am. It has influenced me with wanderlust, in fashion, and with food. It has heightened my senses, tested my character, and deepened friendships.

I have been a part of the travel industry since 1985 starting as a travel consultant, to travel agency leader, and travel expert featured in print, TV, radio, and social media.

Born in Jamaica, emigrated to Canada in 1969, specializing in cruise travel, luxury travel, and destination celebrations. My goal is to combine luxury and rich cultural engagement.

I like everything about travel from planning the trip, to the excitement of going to the airport to touchdown where I can explore and embrace the destination(s). I love the colour of travel, the memories I create, the experiences I get to try, and dreaming about my next trip.  

I have a deep passion and find joy in travel, food, and fashion which I look forward to sharing with fellow explorers.

Client Testimonials

Just over a year ago, from the time I contacted my travel agent and Onanta answered to boarding the Zaandam for our Panama Canal cruise a couple weeks ago, everything was so easy and professionally arranged by Onanta. From booking the cruise, the flights (from three different locations) and keeping us up to date on what to expect, Onanta did a fantastic job.  Every phone call and email were answered promptly and she was able to handle all our requests and inquiries.

I had been on this cruise before, but wanted my daughter, my son and his wife to have the experience and it couldn’t have gone better. We had a fantastic time and they are calling it “a trip of a lifetime with wonderful memories!!”

Thank you, Onanta!!

Our latest trip to Mexico was a last minute decision. Onanta took care of all the details and did an amazing job. She recommended and booked us a great hotelarranged private transfers and convenient flights. As usual Onanta provided excellent service and did an terrific job.
