Joe Viets is the founder of Go Joe Travel, a Vermont-based travel agency specializing in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, destination weddings, and group getaways. As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and registered nurse, Joe combines attention to detail with genuine care for his clients. 

A lifelong cruiser, he has sailed on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and more—knowledge he uses to guide clients through every step of planning. Whether it’s a honeymoon, a family vacation, or a group cruise with friends, Joe ensures each trip is seamless and unforgettable. 

And while Joe is the one handling the logistics, he’s quick to admit that Sgt. Quackers, the agency’s wise-cracking duck mascot, keeps things fun and makes sure no adventure is ever taken too seriously. 

As a proud veteran-owned business, Go Joe Travel is built on service, trust, and dedication. Joe’s mission is simple: to help you dream, plan, and cruise with confidence.

Sgt. Quackers proudly serves as the official Mascot-In-Command at Go Joe Travel. Dressed in his Marine Corps blues and always ready with a wisecrack, he keeps the spirit of adventure alive and reminds everyone that travel should be fun. 

A world traveler in his own right, Sgt. Quackers has been spotted on cruise ships, at tropical resorts, and even sneaking into clients’ luggage for a surprise appearance. He represents the playful side of Go Joe Travel — proof that while we plan with military precision, we also know how to have a good time. 

When he’s not inspecting cruise buffets or testing the waterslides, Sgt. Quackers is cheering on clients as they embark on their dream vacations. His mission? To make sure every journey with Go Joe Travel is smooth sailing, full of laughter, and a story worth quacking about.
