About
Meet Michael & Reed.
We started McKahn Cruises after seeing firsthand how much the right ship, cabin, and itinerary can shape a trip. We wanted to give our clients the same kind of personal, firsthand guidance we value when planning our own cruises.
Our story
A personal approach to cruise planning.
McKahn Cruises is a family-run cruise advisory founded by husbands Michael McWhorter and Reed Kahn. Even our agency name is personal, combining our two last names, McWhorter and Kahn. We're not tied to one cruise line, and we intentionally keep things small so you work directly with us from the first conversation through the day you disembark.
We plan sailings across the major cruise lines, with especially strong firsthand experience in MSC Cruises and the MSC Yacht Club. We've sailed in the Yacht Club ourselves, so we can explain the differences between ships, suite categories, and itineraries from personal experience.
Through our affiliation with Avoya Travel, a well-established travel network, we also have access to competitive pricing, exclusive promotions, group rates, and additional booking support, while your planning stays directly with us.

Client stories
In their words
“Michael & Reed put us in a Yacht Club suite we didn't know existed at a price that made sense. Butler, private pool, the works. We'll never cruise another way.”
“Three generations, eleven people, zero stress. They handled connecting cabins, dining, and the excursions. Everyone still talks about it.”
“I'd booked online for years. Working with Michael and Reed, we got more perks and better cabins, and someone to call when our flight was delayed.”
