Embark on a Journey of Discovery with Expedition Cruising

For adventurous souls eager to explore the world’s most remote and stunning locations, expedition cruising is the perfect choice. With over 30 years of travel expertise, and as a Certified Viking Expedition Expert, Oceania Certified Specialist, Ponant Explorations Expert, and “LEXpert” with Lindblad & National Geographic Expeditions, I’m here to guide you through the thrilling opportunities that await you on the open seas.

Expedition cruising allows you to explore incredible destinations like Antarctica, where you can witness breathtaking icebergs and unique wildlife, such as penguins and seals. If polar bears are more your style, you may choose to navigate the majestic landscapes of the Arctic. Or, discover the stunning fjords and northern lights of Norway and Iceland. For those seeking adventure closer to home, Alaska offers unparalleled outdoor experiences, from glacier hikes to wildlife spotting. The Galápagos Islands also provide an intimate connection with nature. And don’t miss the opportunity to explore the dramatic landscapes of Greenland, rich in history and natural beauty.

Small ship cruising offers the best way to access these breathtaking locations while enjoying personalized service and unique itineraries. Whether you're looking to hike, kayak, or simply take in the scenery, expedition cruising promises outdoor and active experiences that create lasting memories.I work with premier expedition brands such as Swan Hellenic, Viking, Atlas, Ponant, Seabourn, HX/Hurtigruten, Lindblad, Aurora, Scenic, and Quark, to ensure you receive the highest quality experiences.

Together, we’ll design a journey that not only highlights the beauty of these remote destinations but also immerses you in their diverse cultures and wildlife.Ready to embark on an expedition cruise where exploration meets luxury, and create memories that will inspire your adventurous spirit for years to come? I’m here to take care of all the logistics, so you can focus on the excitement of discovery.

First-Time Disney Cruisers!
Reviewed By Brook - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Caribbean
Heather was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive, professional, and most importantly - HELPFUL! We recently worked with Heather to book a Disney Cruise - we have never sailed with Disney, so we had a lot of questions, and she worked with us to answer them and decide which options would be best for our family!
