About Us

At Newmar Travel Agency, we believe every unforgettable vacation begins long before you step aboard. It begins with thoughtful planning, trusted guidance, and a team that's just as excited about your journey as you are.
 

Founded in 2020 in Republic, Missouri, Newmar Travel Agency was built on a simple philosophy: every traveler deserves personalized service, honest advice, and an advocate from the moment they begin planning until they return home with memories to last a lifetime.
 

Cruising Is What We Do

We specialize exclusively in:

⚓ Ocean Cruises
⚓ River Cruises

 

Whether you're sailing on your very first cruise, celebrating a milestone, or checking another destination off your bucket list, we're here to help you find the perfect voyage.

From intimate river cruises through Europe's historic waterways to unforgettable ocean adventures across the Caribbean, Alaska, and beyond, we'll help you chart the course that's right for you.
 

Independent Advice You Can Trust

Unlike agencies affiliated with a specific cruise line or franchise, Newmar Travel Agency is proudly independent. That means every recommendation we make is based solely on what's best for you, not sales quotas or corporate partnerships. We take the time to understand your travel style, interests, and vacation goals so we can confidently recommend the cruise that's the perfect fit.
 

More Than Just a Booking

Booking your cruise is only the beginning. From your first conversation until you're safely back home, we'll be there every step of the way.

As part of the Newmar experience, you can expect:

  • Personalized cruise planning

  • Honest, expert recommendations

  • Helpful packing tips and travel guidance

  • Timely reminders before you sail

  • Mid-voyage check-ins from Captain Leo, our resident Nautical Travel Advisor

  • Support before, during, and after your cruise

  • Post-cruise follow-up to hear about your experience and continue improving the service we provide

Should an unexpected issue arise, we'll gladly advocate on your behalf and work with the cruise line toward a fair resolution whenever possible.
 

Experience You Can Count On

Our advisors continually expand their knowledge through professional development, cruise line certifications, and CLIA training to stay current on ships, destinations, and industry developments.
 

Combined with firsthand experience and strong industry relationships, we're able to provide valuable insight, exclusive promotions, and personalized recommendations you simply won't find through an online booking engine.

William Breitenstein

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Every great journey begins with a dream, and for William, that dream became Newmar Travel Agency.

Founded in 2020 from his home in Republic, Missouri, Newmar was built on a simple belief: planning a vacation should be just as enjoyable as taking one.

With a passion for cruising, travel, and creating unforgettable experiences, William set out to build an agency where every client is treated like family and every itinerary is crafted with care.
 

As Founder and Chief Executive Officer, William leads the agency's vision while overseeing its day-to-day operations, developing new services, and continually looking toward the horizon for innovative ways to enhance the client experience. His commitment to personalized service, attention to detail, and genuine love of travel have helped Newmar Travel Agency grow into an award-winning agency trusted by travelers across the country.
 

Whether he's helping first-time cruisers prepare for embarkation, designing dream vacations, or exploring the latest destinations and cruise ships, William believes the best memories begin long before you step aboard.
 

When he's not charting the next adventure, you'll likely find him dreaming up new ideas to make every voyage even more memorable... and according to Captain Leo, he's the reason there's always another destination circled on the map.
 

Together with Bryce and Captain Leo, William is proud to welcome you aboard and help you discover where your next adventure will take you.

Bryce Matlock

CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER

Behind every successful voyage is someone making sure everything runs smoothly, and that's exactly where Bryce shines.
 

As Vice President of Newmar Travel Agency, Bryce has been instrumental in helping William bring the agency's vision to life from the very beginning. From developing new ideas to supporting the day-to-day operations, he plays a key role in ensuring every traveler receives the exceptional service and attention Newmar is known for.
 

While William is often charting the course with clients, Bryce works behind the scenes to keep the agency sailing in the right direction. Whether it's improving processes, planning for future growth, or helping turn new ideas into reality, his focus is always on creating an even better experience for every traveler.
 

If you've spent any time around the office, you'll quickly discover that Bryce is also the unofficial keeper of the ship. Whether he's helping chart a new course or making sure everything stays on track, even Captain Leo will tell you Bryce is the one who keeps the crew sailing smoothly.
 

Together, William and Bryce share a passion for exploring the world and helping others create unforgettable memories. Their combined dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to personalized service continue to guide Newmar Travel Agency toward new horizons.

Captain Leo

Nautical Travel Advisor

Every great crew needs someone keeping watch from the crow's nest, and at Newmar Travel Agency, that's Captain Leo.
 

First spotted on July 8, 2026, Captain Leo has been keeping watch over Newmar travelers ever since. He's known for spotting helpful travel tips before anyone else, sharing insider cruise advice, and reminding travelers about the little things that make every voyage even better.
 

You'll recognize Captain Leo by his crisp white captain's hat, navy sailor scarf, bright blue eyes, and cheerful smile that's almost as contagious as his excitement for travel. Rumor has it he even has a hidden anchor tattoo tucked beneath one wing, though you'll have to catch him at just the right angle to spot it.
 

While the Newmar crew takes care of the planning behind the scenes, Captain Leo serves as your trusted Nautical Travel Advisor, checking in throughout your journey with packing reminders, destination highlights, cruise tips, and the occasional terrible nautical pun. His mission is simple: help every traveler enjoy smooth sailing from the moment they leave home until they return with unforgettable memories.
 

When he's not standing watch from the crow's nest, you'll usually find him charting new itineraries, researching cruise ships, sampling desserts strictly "for quality assurance," and collecting stories from travelers who've fallen in love with life at sea.
 

If you happen to notice a little three-toed footprint around our website or in one of our emails, you've found Captain Leo's mark. It's his way of letting you know he's already been there and thinks you're on the right course.
 

After all, every great voyage deserves someone keeping watch from the crow's nest.
