About Me

Agent specializing in Cruises, Europe & Caribbean

With a deep specialization in cruises, ranging from luxury and family travel to custom group sailings, I bring unmatched expertise in crafting bespoke journeys across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. My in-depth knowledge of cruise lines, ships, itineraries, and destinations allows me to expertly pair each client with the perfect voyage. In Europe, I design immersive experiences through cultural capitals, sun-drenched coastlines, and historic riverways, balancing rich history with refined elegance. In the Caribbean, I offer both iconic and hidden-gem island escapes, curated for relaxation, adventure, and authentic local flavor. Whether it’s a romantic river cruise, a multi-generational getaway, or a milestone celebration at sea, I deliver white-glove service, insider access, and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every journey is seamless, personalized, and unforgettable.

Memorable Cruise
Reviewed By WKF1982 - Newport, MN | Traveled to Caribbean
We started planning a Caribbean Cruise in the Summer of 2025. I made my request to the travel agency and quickly received a call back from Alexandra. Alexandra presented herself on our first phone conversation with great integrity and a great desire to listen to all of my vacation wishes for the Cruise. Alexandra made continuous effort to communicate all information the entire seven plus months of Cruise preparations. So looked forward to Alexandras phone visits, her personal warm and caring concern to make sure we were going to have a memorable Cruise. Alexandra made a point to check in just before our departure and assured us that she was a phone call, text or email away should any thing arise prior to setting sail. Alexandra requested that after the trip we connect. She wanted to hear our Princess Cruise experience and if there was anything she could have done different. We are very happy with Alexandra and her travel planning.

The best time of our lives!
Reviewed By NY Arlene - Boynton Beach, FL | Traveled to Athens | Greece | Europe
Alexandra helped to make this cruise trip to Greece the best ever! She kept in touch with us and when we had any questions, we got an answer almost immediately. She was truly on top of everything. And when we wanted to upgrade our room, she was on that so quickly, that we truly were impressed with the attention and care that she gave our needs. She got us in contact with the transportation from the airport to our Airbnb, and then from the Airbnb to the boat. Making decisions about what kind of excursions we were going to go on with another thing that she helped us with as well. Honestly, whatever question we had, she was there. It was smooth sailing for us from beginning to end! Thank you, Alexandra, for making a wonderful bucket list dream come true for all of us!
Alexandra La Riva responded

Looking forward to helping you with your next one!"

Once in a lifetime trip!
Reviewed By Olivia cruise - Delray Beach FL | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Alexandra helped us not only get this fabulous cruise but helped us do some upgrades and got us some extras because we were celebrating birthdays and anniversaries and late honeymoons because of covid. It was an amazing cruise and it was on a bucket list for a couple of us that were on the trip together. She did everything she could to make sure that we had the best trip ever. No pressure, just enough to give us information and help guide us into what we really wanted to have this fabulous and most amazing trip. I would highly recommend her on every level! If you want a special trip and all of the extras that come with it, contact her please. You will not regret it.
Alexandra La Riva responded
"Thank you so much Michele. I am truly grateful you trusted me to help bring this celebration-filled trip to life! It was wonderful working with all of you to mark such important moments, from birthdays and anniversaries to that long-awaited honeymoon. I’m thrilled the upgrades and special touches helped make it a true bucket-list experience. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey and for your generous recommendation! I look forward to help plan many more memorable journeys ahead!"
