CRUISES
Cruising is one of the smartest ways to see the world—but not all cruises are created equal. Having worked onboard luxury cruise ships, I have intimate knowledge of the industry from the inside out. From ocean voyages and river journeys to family-friendly sailings and expedition adventures, I'll help you navigate the choices with honest insight and firsthand expertise.
Through my industry connections, I’m also able to unlock insider pricing, added perks, and onboard extras that most travelers never know to ask for. No matter if it’s your first cruise or your tenth, I’ll help make sure it’s your best one yet.

Cruising is a smart way to see the world—but not all cruises are equal. Having worked aboard luxury cruise ships, I use firsthand knowledge and insider connections to match you with the perfect sailing, while securing exclusive pricing, perks, and onboard extras.
Whether its an ocean, river, family, or expedition, I'll ensure your next cruise is your best yet.
Premium and luxury cruises offer an experience beyond what many travelers imagine when they think of cruising. It’s about thoughtful design, generous space, attentive service, and deeper access to compelling destinations—perfectly suited to those who value comfort and style as much as the ports themselves.
Premium lines such as Celebrity and Virgin Voyages offer sleek, contemporary ships with sophisticated dining, stylish entertainment, and an elevated, adult-focused atmosphere.
For an even more intimate, luxurious experience, I recommend luxury brands like Silversea, Explora Journeys, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and the soon-to-debut Four Seasons Yacht. These smaller, boutique-style ships emphasize personalized attention, refined comfort, and carefully curated itineraries designed for deeper exploration.
Luxury and Premium Cruises
River cruising blends cultural depth with relaxed luxury, offering travelers the chance to explore iconic cities and hidden gems at a comfortable, personal pace. Typically with fewer than 200 guests per sailing and docking right in the heart of each destination, you'll experience more and waste less time getting where you want to be.
I partner with trusted lines like AmaWaterways, Viking, Tauck, and Uniworld—each offering a unique approach to service, style, and onboard ambiance. Highlights include wine tastings in France, exploring medieval villages along the Rhine, or catching sunrise over the Mekong.
If you’re weighing river cruising against ocean voyages—or are completely new to cruising—I’ll provide honest guidance to help you select the option that suits you best.

Premium and luxury cruises go far beyond traditional cruise experiences—emphasizing thoughtful design, attentive service, and deeper destination immersion.
Premium lines like Celebrity and Virgin Voyages offer sleek ships with elevated dining and stylish onboard atmospheres. For more intimate luxury, I recommend boutique-style lines such as Silversea, Explora Journeys, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and the upcoming Four Seasons Yacht—each focused on personalized attention, refined comfort, and curated itineraries.
Expedition cruises take you to the edges of the world—places like the Galápagos, Antarctica, or the Arctic Circle—but the experience goes beyond the destination. It's equally about the journey, the quality of your guides, and selecting the ship that matches your comfort and curiosity.
I help expedition travelers find the right cruise line, carefully comparing options such as Lindblad, Atlas Ocean Voyage, Quark, and Seabourn Expeditions to ensure the perfect mix of expertise, onboard amenities, and destination access. Some expeditions are rugged and research-oriented; others offer a more luxurious adventure without sacrificing exploration depth.
I'll guide you through choosing the best itinerary, knowing the ideal time to go, packing appropriately, and determining when an upgrade is truly worthwhile—so you feel confident and prepared, never overwhelmed.
Adventure Cruising
Not every cruise line or ship is designed with families in mind—so finding the right fit matters. I specialize in matching your families ages, interests, and travel style with the ideal cruise line and ship.
Cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, NCL, and Disney Cruise Line excel at creating experiences everyone can enjoy—offering engaging entertainment, spacious family-friendly cabins, flexible dining options, and activities designed specifically for toddlers, teens, and parents alike. I'll help you navigate cabin layouts, kids' programs, dining strategies, and itinerary pacing to ensure your cruise feels relaxed, easy, and balanced.
Too many families end up on ships or itineraries that aren’t quite right. My role is making sure yours fits perfectly. With thoughtful planning, a family cruise can become your new favorite way to travel together—stress-free and filled with lasting memories.

Not every cruise line or ship is built for families. I specialize in matching your family's ages, interests, and travel style to the ideal cruise experience.
Lines like Royal Caribbean, NCL, and Disney Cruise Line offer family-focused cabins, engaging entertainment, flexible dining, and age-specific activities. I'll guide you through cabin layouts, kids' clubs, dining strategies, and pacing, ensuring your cruise feels easy, relaxed, and memorable.
Expedition cruises venture to the world's most remote regions—like Antarctica, the Galápagos, or the Arctic—but choosing the right ship and guides matters just as much as the destination.
I’ll help you navigate expedition lines like Lindblad, Atlas Ocean Voyages, Quark, and Seabourn Expeditions, finding your ideal balance of comfort, expertise, and adventure. You’ll get clear guidance on itineraries, timing, packing, and upgrades, so you feel prepared and excited—not overwhelmed.
