About Me

When it comes to exploring the world in comfort and style, few cruise lines embody sophistication and discovery quite like Viking Cruises. Renowned for its award-winning river and ocean itineraries, Viking offers a travel experience that blends cultural enrichment, elegant Scandinavian design, and exceptional service. As a travel advisor who specializes in Viking journeys, I am passionate about helping my clients see the world through Viking’s unique lens. These voyages are designed for curious travelers who crave authentic experiences—from discovering local cuisine and history to enjoying thoughtfully curated excursions led by knowledgeable guides. Whether you’re dreaming of drifting along Europe’s most storied rivers, sailing through the majestic fjords of Norway, or embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime ocean voyage to faraway lands, Viking delivers more than just a cruise. It offers a journey of discovery, relaxation, and connection. My mission is to simplify the planning process, tailoring each trip to your personal travel goals so you can enjoy every moment aboard Viking’s beautifully appointed ships.Viking Cruises is celebrated for its destination-focused philosophy. Unlike many cruise lines that emphasize onboard entertainment above all else, Viking places the world’s most fascinating places at the center of every itinerary. On its river cruises, intimate longships glide past fairytale castles, ancient vineyards, and bustling European towns, with stops that bring guests directly into the heart of each destination. Viking’s ocean voyages mirror that same thoughtful approach, with smaller ships that access ports larger vessels can’t reach, longer stays that allow deeper exploration, and included shore excursions that reveal the history and culture of every stop. Guests also enjoy Viking’s trademark onboard enrichment: expert lectures, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, and cultural performances that connect them to the destinations in meaningful ways. Onboard, life is elegant yet relaxed—no casinos, no crowds, just spacious staterooms, beautiful Scandinavian design, world-class dining, and thoughtful touches that make the journey feel like a true retreat. As a travel advisor, I help clients navigate the choices Viking offers: selecting the perfect itinerary, stateroom category, pre- or post-cruise extensions, and optional excursions to make each voyage truly personal and unforgettable.What I love most about working with Viking Cruises is seeing how these journeys create lifelong memories and meaningful connections. I’ve planned river cruises for couples celebrating milestone anniversaries, ocean voyages for solo travelers eager to explore new cultures, and multi-generational trips where families bond while sailing through some of the world’s most beautiful waterways. My role is to remove the stress of planning and replace it with excitement and confidence—handling everything from airfare and transfers to dining preferences and tour selections. I also stay up to date on Viking’s newest ships, itineraries, and promotions to ensure my clients always get the best possible value and experience. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser eager to see the world in a comfortable, enriching way or a seasoned traveler looking for your next great adventure, I bring insider knowledge, personalized planning, and a true passion for exploration to your Viking journey. With my guidance, your cruise becomes more than a trip—it becomes a transformative experience, where every detail is designed to inspire, delight, and connect you to the world in a deeper way.

First family Disneyland trip
Reviewed By Cathy Lagomarsino - California | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
We had a great time!!! Thank you for all your work on our behalf and the patience you had with our endless questions. The hotel was great - we were able to get connecting rooms. The proximity to the Parks was easily walkable. The staff was friendly. The Lightening Lane aspect of our ticket package allowed us to ride so many more rides (some multiple times) than we expected despite the large Spring Break crowds that were in attendance. We would definitely get that again! We enjoyed the dinner reservation you made for us at Great Maple was perfect - there were 10 of us for dinner including 3 children and the place was perfect for our families gathering - it was so nice to meet up with close friends that live in the area. We also ate at Blue Bayou in Disneyland and Wine Country Trattoria in California Adventure. It was nice to sit for a meal and plan the rest of the day. Jennifer and our son Brian (who joined us) were able to use the Disney app to order food, make reservations an

The best Universal trip!
Reviewed By Caitlin Hakes - Houston Texas | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
We had the best experience working with Alex’s on our Universal Orlando trip. She listened to the things that mattered most to us and created different options of where we could stay. We ended up choosing to go to the Royal Pacific and we were blown away! The shuttle option made the most sense for us and helped us skip long rental car lines, as well as avoiding overnight parking. Our family of 7 enjoyed both Universal parks by day and the beautiful hotel pools by night. We had the vacation of our dreams, without any stress in the planning. We will Definitely work with Alexx again, it was the best decision we made!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
