About Me

Alaska is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited, and I always tell clients it deserves to be experienced in the most extraordinary way possible. For me, that means sailing on a small luxury ship. The difference is profound — you’re not just observing Alaska from a distance, you’re drawn into its raw beauty. I’ve glided into secluded coves where towering glaciers shimmer in the sunlight, watched eagles soar overhead, and felt the stillness of untouched wilderness — all without the crowds. It’s Alaska at its most intimate and most majestic.One of my most unforgettable journeys was with Seabourn. The ship itself felt like a private club at sea — spacious suites, gourmet dining that rivaled Michelin-star restaurants, and sommeliers who introduced me to wines I’ll never forget. Yet the true magic came from the expedition team. One morning, I found myself kayaking through crystal-clear waters with nothing but icebergs and silence around me. Another day, I hiked across pristine landscapes where it felt as though no one had stepped before. It was adventure wrapped in the finest luxury. I’ve also cherished experiences with Silversea, Regent, and Oceania. Each offers something exceptional — personalized service where the crew knows your name, elegant accommodations with every detail considered, and all-inclusive indulgences that allow you to relax fully, knowing everything is already taken care of. From exquisite dining to a perfectly prepared cappuccino delivered to my suite, every moment felt effortless. For me, small ship cruising in Alaska is the ultimate balance of exploration and elegance. Imagine sipping a glass of champagne on deck as whales breach in the distance, or ending the evening with a world-class meal while the sun lingers on snow-capped peaks. This is Alaska not as a destination, but as an experience — luxurious, intimate, and utterly unforgettable.

Let’s design your perfect Alaska journey together. I’ll help match you with the right luxury cruise line so you can experience the real Alaska — up close, personal, and in complete comfort.

Viking River Cruise Basel to Amsterdam
Reviewed By Dave G - Roselle, IL | Traveled to Europe
This trip was a re-book from a previous trip we cancelled. Tony pointed out my passport was expiring and needed to be renewed and expedited to insure I could make the trip.

We extended our stay in Amsterdam and Tony provided numerous food choices that he though we would find interesting. His recommendations were spot on and helped make our trip memorable.

We look forward to his expertise on our next adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Attention to every detail
Reviewed By Susan T & Gerri F - Pompano Bech, FL | Traveled to Europe
We were invited to visit friends in Italy this summer and contacted Tony Cosenza for his professional assistance with an extended stay in the region. Tony secured us a 7-night cruise deal WITH flights for the price of airfare to Venice alone! His attention to detail was evident from the moment we boarded our flights on June 4th. We felt like VIPs every step of the way! Tony’s very helpful packing pointers, hotel recommendation in Ravenna (we visited five UNESCO World Heritage sites as he suggested), transportation options to the embarkation port, and area maps and articles regarding the various ports of call we would be visiting ensured that we got the most out of our vacation. He even checked in with us during the cruise to see that everything was going well.
We owe so much to Tony’s organizational expertise that made this trip so incredibly memorable for us! We will use his services again for our next vacation and wholeheartedly recommend him!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

SilverSeas Cruise
Reviewed By Firenze713 - Albany WI | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Tony makes sure that you have an exceptional time on your vacation, he is NOT an agent that books your trip and then forgets about you. Tony makes sure that you are always up to date on all updates after you have booked your trip. If for any reason you need to contact him, or even if you have questions, Tony is there to answer and assist you with your concerns or questions. Thank you Tony for being the type of agent that makes traveling fun and easy like it meant to be.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Truly an Antarctica Expert
Reviewed By Traveling Solo - Fort Lauderdale | Traveled to Antarctica
Just wanted to thank U for helping me get to Antartica. Your knowledge and experience really made the difference. This place has a kind of unique quality that seems magnetic…it really draws you in! Seabourne was fantastic! So well organized in a way that a solo traveler can feel at home. Food was incredible. Caviar plate available 24/7. Everything was tops including the passion of the expedition staff. I’ll do Seabourn and use you again and again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
