About Me

The Beautiful Star Breeze at Sunset in Raiatea
The Beautiful Star Breeze at Sunset in Raiatea

While I enjoy many different cruise lines there is something truly extraordinary about Windstar.  Whether it's the feeling of relaxed luxury on Windstar's yachts or the culturally immersive itineraries Windstar offers something truly unique.  I particularly love the watersports platform where you can dive right off the ship into the sea.  

Windstar ships are smaller and they can visit places larger vessels cannot. Their itineraries tend to be port intensive and with my expertise we will plan each port day to make the most of your vacation.  These are the cruises where I really shine.  Having visiting almost 50 countries myself I can help you plan your port days no matter where the destination. 

That being said my favorite Windstar Cruise itinerary is their 7 night Dreams of Tahiti sailing.  As an Alaskan, I very much appreciate a warm weather vacation in the darkness of winter.  Tahiti offers sunshine and so much more.  With it's beautiful beaches, world class snorkeling and beautiful culture a trip to Tahiti with Windstar is the perfect vacation.  Whether you are honeymooners looking for a romantic adventure or retirees finally able to travel the world French Polynesia is the place to go.  

Obviously I also really like how Windstar does Alaska.  While our waters up here are too cold for the water sports platform their expedition style excursions in smaller less visited ports show you Alaska unlike any other cruise line.  On board you will find world class experts in everything from geology to wildlife guiding you on your way to truly experience the Alaskan wilderness all while sailing in true luxury.  

Whether your destination is Alaska or Tahiti or somewhere else I offer so much beyond just booking your cruise.  I will help you every step of the way!

2 Weeks in Europe
Reviewed By Lisa - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Europe
Mary was great. I was looking for some general guidance on tours in Europe and she provided several excellent resources. She also helped me ID airfare - didn't book it for us, which was fine, but found a great rate that I tracked down. Terrific!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing Trip to Yellowstone!
Reviewed By Kellie - Collingswood, NJ | Traveled to Yellowstone National Park ~ Wyoming ~ USA
Mary was very easy to work with and helped us plan a great vacation to Yellowstone! We booked a few different hotels for our stay and the one offered better pricing if we booked it directly ourselves. I was very impressed that Mary suggested we do this, forgoing her commission on that part of the itinerary, in order to save us money. We will be working with Mary again for future trips!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing family adventure!
Reviewed By Jayne - Watchung, NJ | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
Mary was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process for our first family trip to Iceland. We just told her the kinds of activities and experiences we wanted and she did a fantastic job creating a really diverse and exciting itinerary. We were especially grateful for her recommendations about accommodations - every place we stayed in was perfect for our needs. Thank you Christopher Travel for taking such wonderful care of us - we can't wait to start planning our next family adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Dream Honeymoon
Reviewed By Joe - Springfield, VA | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Mary was amazing! We got our dream honeymoon; something we didn't even think was possible for our price range, and didn't have to deal with the hassles of most planning and research. We'd highly recommend Mary for any travel you're planning and could recommend her more strongly, highly or positively.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
