About Me

Norwegian Viva
Norwegian Viva

As a foodie at heart I love finding the best local cuisines and amazing people to share that experience with. I also love cruising to get a taste of unforgettable locations that I will eventually come back to explore in depth. I have been fortunate to cruise through Europe and the Mexican Riviera, and I hope I can find a cruise line and destination that best suits your desires. I am excited to help you find the best destination and experience to make your next vacation unforgettable!

Our 20th Anniversary
Reviewed By Rose - Lacey, WA | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Ellie was easy to work with. I had tons of questions on where to go. Then once that was decided I had tons of questions about the resort. She promptly answered them all for me. And of course she booked flights and resort for us too. All went smoothly.

I should have done this months ago!
Reviewed By ED - Seattle | Traveled to Honolulu, Oahu | Hawaii | USA
We returned from our trip this last April. As I find myself coming back to Ellie again, I know it was worth mentioning what a wonderful experience she gave us! I began explaining my anxiety with travel, not having been on a plane in almost 20 years. Ellie took care of absolutely everything! I'm so profoundly grateful for her attention to detail, and her consistent tolerance of my continued questions. Our trip was so easy to navigate, I am looking to plan our next trip with Ellie as our guide!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Ellie is absolutely Fabulous! She planned a week long trip to Mexico for 22 people, including lots of kids and multiple families with different needs. Ellie went above and beyond and arranged an excellent resort experience with perfect accommodations and seamless transportation. We had an outstanding time.
