SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Trip planning can feel overwhelming, from navigating too many booking sites to having no clear way to know if the price is truly a good deal. That’s where Jeffrey Leonardi comes in.
As owner and operator of Travel Time Vacations & Cruises, he brings 29 years of travel experience to the table—including a No. 1 ranking with AAA Travel and a top-10 worldwide ranking with American Express Travel. For more than 15 years, his office has been conveniently located on Van Dyke Avenue in Shelby Township.
He has helped clients arrange everything from escorted tours and cruises to fully independent travel. “I love creating trips for people who know they want to go somewhere but don’t know where or how,” he said.
A dual citizen of the United States and Italy, Jeffrey specializes in travel throughout Italy, Europe, the United States and the Caribbean. He also has extensive firsthand knowledge of the Mediterranean, as well as ocean and river cruises worldwide.
Domestic cruises surged in popularity during the pandemic. “I’m one of the few agencies that stayed open during COVID,” Jeffrey said. “People couldn’t leave the country, so I booked trips on the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Snake River/Columbia River and the Great Lakes.”
Currently, his focus is on Alaska. Although many cruise lines have sold out for 2026, he secured group pricing across multiple departures every week from late May to mid-September. “Even if someone isn’t part of a group, I can still get them the group rate or better,” he said.
Thanks to his long-standing relationships with major travel suppliers, Jeffrey finds value others might miss. “I work hard to get my clients the best deal I possibly can,” he said. “I sell everything from basic to luxury.”
Whether planning ocean or river cruises, escorted tours, individual trips to anywhere in the world or bucket-list vacations—Jeffrey works to match each traveler with the right itinerary and the right timing to help them get the most for their money. “I want people to feel like they’ve spent their money wisely—and come home with a trip they’ll never forget,” he said.
