Luxury Cruise Experts

Are you ready for a luxury cruise of a lifetime where you are known on board minutes after you embark? When you enter the bistro they are already making your favorite coffee drink, or after the strenuous walk around the promenade there is a refreshing drink waiting for you. Where your stateroom is pure luxury with flowers, fresh fruit, a comfy bed and a room steward who seems to know exactly when you leave the room and refreshes it before you return. To be entertained by top of the line performers, or take the free classes in computer, photography, art or language that cost extra on other cruise lines.

I have been in the travel industry over 38 years and have cruised on a variety of ships. My experience is vast with certified specialist training most major cruise lines. I have hosted groups on Crystal’s World Cruises for the last two and worked with incentive groups, family reunions and honeymooners. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for and I truly believe most of the luxury cruise rates are inline when compared to what you get on other cruise lines. Remember luxury cruises often include free gratuities, no charges for alternative dining, free alcohol, and courtesy transportation to the nearest city on a shore excursion. No extra charges for dinner on your balcony, learning to play bridge, or taking an art class. For single women it can be wonderful with male hosts available for dancing.

With all the cruises out there and the confusion of which is the best for you call me and let me help you with the choosing the right vacation for you.

Like many, I too, was once a “cruise skeptic”. Could bobbing around on a boat really be that much fun, I asked myself? That lasted until the first day of my first cruise! Since then, I’ve had the zeal of the convert. I LOVE to cruise. I’ve been from the coast of Alaska and British Columbia all the way down to Mexico. I’ve sailed the Galapagos and gone ‘round the Horn of South America from Chile all the way up to Buenos Aires. I’ve cruised the Mediterranean and am on my way to the Amazon later this year. Cruising is the perfect vacation. You unpack once, get waited on all day, eat, drink, get entertained, work out, laze around, whatever strikes your fancy. You can dance the night away, or spend a quiet romantic evening with your special person, or take the kids and make it a family affair, a REAL vacation where everyone has fun. And all the while you are moving from one fabulous place to the next. Imagine going to bed in Mykonos and waking up in Istanbul! With all the choices out there, there is a ship and an itinerary for everyone. You can choose the large ships with Broadway style revues and spacious casinos, or smaller, more intimate ships that can fit into the off the beaten track ports. There is everything from short getaways and months-long world cruises. And let’s remember the pre- and post- extensions. I am a Western Europe Specialist and am very well versed in South America as well. I am a Certified Cruise Expert with Crystal Cruises and Cunard Line.  I can put together the perfect land package for you to compliment your cruise.

I love cruising. Years ago I found MY inner pirate and have enjoyed being at sea ever since! There is something about the sea air that brings out the best in me, maybe it will for you too. I used to sail in regattas years ago, but since then I enjoy sailing for pleasure. The wind in the sails is magical and romantic. I enjoy riding horses on as many cruise vacations that offer such an excursion; it truly is a completely different view of a destination, whether in the gorgeous mountains of Moorea, French Polynesia, on the beach on Cabo San Lucas, Mexico or in Alaska. With my prince charming (AKA my husband Jake) we enjoy sunsets on the deck of a ship, having cocktails in intimate lounges and going for a couple’s treatments at the ships spa. We also enjoy the social aspect of a cruise; we stay in touch with at least one person from each cruise we have been on. (20+ cruises). I am a Certified Elite Cruise Counselor Scholar (ECCS), and am a Certified Cruise Expert with several luxury and premium cruise lines including Silversea, Crystal, Regent, Cunard Line, Disney, Holland America and Celebrity.

I feel the fun starts with the planning of the cruise, and when you embark you will continue the fun we have had booking it! Remember there is a perfect cruise for every budget. Let me help you find yours!

I have been a travel planner for 23 years and much of that time I have specialized in cruising. l took my first cruise at age 13 and I've been hooked ever since! Matching the clients desires to the on board experience and ambience of a ship are key to an incredible cruise vacation. Each ship has a unique personality - casual elegance, family friendly fun, active adventure, or even sophisticated and scholarly. The destination is the other half of the fun. Imagine yourself exploring the the canals of Venice, barging thru the French country side, sailing into Hong Kong harbor or sipping a cool drink and tapping your toes the Caribbean beat of the steel drums. Life has so much to offer! I stay on top of all the latest cruise specials to assure my clientele gets the absolute best value for their vacation dollars. I have cruised on luxury cruise lines Crystal Cruises and Cunard Line, and am a Certified Cruise Expert with Crystal, Cunard, and Regent. It would be my pleasure work with you on your next cruise!

Sailing aboard a cruise ship is not always the best way to see a destination, but when it is, it’s perfect! For countries whose cultures are intimately connected with waterways, there’s no more exciting or dramatic way to explore than from the sea. Case in point: the Scandinavian Fjords and Baltic nations, European heartland rivers, Alaska, the Panama Canal, the Antarctic, the Mediterranean, and don’t forget Tahiti, Hawaii and the Caribbean Islands. And it’s all so relaxing: no packing and unpacking or continually dealing with airports and train stations. Instead, you can focus on days filled with exciting new sights, sounds and flavors, relaxation, perhaps even a bit of spa time, and evenings spent relishing a city’s great restaurants, theaters and clubs or enjoying the fine dining, entertainment and casino gaming aboard ship--all followed by a great rest in a luxurious floating hotel. Yes, cruising may not be for everybody, but, in my view, that’s just because those folks haven’t tried the right cruise yet. I have cruised on several luxury and premium lines including Crystal Cruises, and am a Certified Crystal Cruise Expert.
