About Me

Princess cruise to New England/Canada
Princess cruise to New England/Canada

For more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of experiencing one of life’s greatest joys: cruising. What began as a simple vacation choice turned into a lifelong passion that has taken me across oceans, rivers, and continents. From the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the glaciers of Alaska, the islands of Hawaii, the historic ports of Europe, the rich cultures of South America, and the serene beauty of Asia, I have been blessed to see the world through the unique lens that only cruising can provide. Today, it is my absolute joy and privilege to help others experience that same wonder through MT3 Travels.

Cruising is more than a way to get from one destination to another it is a lifestyle of discovery, connection, and renewal. Over the decades, I’ve sailed with many of the world’s leading cruise lines, gaining firsthand knowledge of their ships, itineraries, dining, entertainment, and service styles. Whether it’s the sophistication of luxury cruising, the intimacy of a river sailing, or the thrill of an expedition voyage to remote destinations, I have lived these experiences so I can better guide my clients in choosing the perfect cruise tailored to their dreams.

At MT3 Travels, I specialize in every style of cruising:

  • Ocean Cruises: For those who love the grandeur of sailing the open seas, with all the amenities of a floating resort. Whether it’s a quick Caribbean getaway or an extended transatlantic voyage, I can help you find the right ship, itinerary, and stateroom to fit your needs.
  • Luxury Cruises: For travelers who want nothing but the best, I work with the most prestigious luxury cruise lines, offering exclusive itineraries, gourmet dining, personalized service, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
  • River Cruises: For a slower, more immersive journey, river cruising is the perfect way to explore Europe, Asia, and beyond. Imagine gliding along the Danube or Mekong and stepping off your ship right into the heart of historic towns and vibrant cultures.
  • Expedition Cruises: For the adventurous at heart, expedition cruising opens the door to places few have gone: Antarctica, the Galapagos, or the Arctic. These cruises are designed for discovery, with experts and guides enhancing every step of the journey.

My mission is simple: to listen to your travel dreams, understand your priorities, and create an experience that goes beyond your expectations. I approach every trip I plan with patience, integrity, and attention to detail. Travel planning should never feel overwhelming when you work with me, you’ll always have a dedicated partner who makes the process smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.

What sets MT3 Travels apart is not just knowledge of destinations and cruise lines, but the personalized care I bring to every client relationship. I see travel as an opportunity for growth, relaxation, and connection, not just with new cultures and destinations, but with the people we love most. For many of my clients, cruising has been the backdrop for life’s most meaningful moments: honeymoons, anniversaries, family reunions, retirements, or simply the long-awaited chance to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with what matters most.

Because I’ve sailed extensively myself, I can provide insider tips and practical advice that only comes with firsthand experience. Whether it’s the best time to visit Alaska, how to maximize your time in port, or which stateroom category offers the best value, I’ll guide you with honesty and clarity. My role is not to “sell” you something, it is to serve as your trusted adviser so that your vacation is as seamless and memorable as possible.

Every client I work with receives personalized care, and every trip I plan is treated with the same level of attention as if I were planning my own. That’s my promise to you. When you trust MT3 Travels, you’re not just booking a cruise you’re gaining a partner who will walk with you every step of the way, from the first idea to the moment you return home with stories to tell and memories to cherish.

Cruising has changed my life, and I believe it has the power to change yours too. Whether you’re drawn to the Caribbean’s sun-soaked beaches, Alaska’s majestic landscapes, Hawaii’s cultural treasures, the Mediterranean’s timeless charm, or Asia’s vibrant cities, there is a cruise out there that will exceed your expectations. And I would be honored to help you find it.

At the heart of MT3 Travels is a simple belief: travel is transformative. It allows us to explore, to connect, and to refresh. It’s why my tag line is more than just words, it’s a reflection of what I want every client to experience on their journey.

It is my privilege to serve as your Cruise Specialist, and I look forward to the opportunity to help you embark on your next great adventure. Wherever in the world your heart longs to go, let’s plan it together.

Explore. Connect. Refresh. | MT3 Travels

First cruise!!!
Reviewed By Nesbitt Family - Searcy, AR | Traveled to Mexico


Marcus served as our travel agent for our cruise, and we can’t say enough good things about him! Since we had never cruised, we had no idea what we wanted. His excitement ignited in us a fun anticipation for cruising! He walked us through every step of the planning process, and any questions we had were quickly and thoroughly answered! We had a fabulous cruise for our anniversary celebration, and attribute our love of cruising to the amazing experience Marcus helped to create! We highly recommend using Marcus for any travel needs!
