Our People
We love travel. Creating the memories is the part we're really in it for.
We want you to come home rejuvenated and ready for your next adventure.
Our story
Built on relationships
Blackhawk Vacations was founded on a simple belief: our clients deserve a travel advisor who's actually been there. It's a small team of people who travel constantly, build real relationships with the suppliers we recommend, and pick up the phone when it matters.
As an affiliate of Coastline Travel Advisors and a Virtuoso member agency, we have access to supplier relationships and amenity programs that most agents simply don't. That access translates directly into better experiences and more value for our clients on every single booking.
We work with clients from all over the country, based on the West Coast. Luxury travel is our specialty — the kind that feels effortless because someone behind the scenes made it that way.

The team
Our people
Every advisor on our team travels — a lot. We scout destinations, stay in the hotels, and sail the ships we recommend. That firsthand knowledge is what separates us from an algorithm.
He's particularly well-versed in ocean cruising, having sailed with many of the major cruise lines. His clients appreciate that he listens first and recommends second — no upselling, no cookie-cutter packages. Just honest advice from someone who's done the homework.
Larry is a Virtuoso-affiliated advisor, which means his clients consistently receive amenities, upgrades, and perks that aren't available through other booking channels. If you want someone who will treat your trip like it matters — because it does — Larry is your person.
In their words
Real trips. Real reviews. 100% recommended.
He just gets us
"I've worked with David Andersen at Blackhawk Vacations for a few years now, and I genuinely don't know how I traveled before him. He knows what I like before I do. He catches details I would never think to ask about."
-- Le Poker, on David
He knows cruises inside and out
"Larry Klein helped us with a fabulous vacation. He knows cruises better than any travel advisor that I have ever worked with. He made sure that our cabin was located in the optimal place on the ship."
-- Jeff, on Larry
