Annemarie Cassidy | Cruise Azul Travel

I’m Annemarie Cassidy, founder of Cruise Azul Travel and a Distinctive Voyages Host with Travel Leaders Network. I specialize in helping travelers explore the world in style—through luxury cruises, bespoke itineraries, and unforgettable experiences both at sea and on land.

Travel has always been a part of who I am. As the daughter of an airline pilot and a flight attendant, I grew up with a passport in hand and a deep love for global adventure. My first cruise was at age 10, and since then, I’ve journeyed across six continents—always seeking out the perfect balance of luxury, culture, and fun. Antarctica is still on my list, and I’m already planning how to get there!

As a Distinctive Voyages Host, I personally host select cruises that offer my clients exclusive amenities, private shore events, and a personalized touch that elevates every voyage. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply ready to unwind somewhere extraordinary, I bring my personal of experiences and genuine passion to every trip I plan.

When I’m not traveling or curating dream vacations for others, you’ll often find me dancing—on a ballroom floor, at a beachside resort, or simply enjoying the rhythm of life on board a beautiful ship.

Let’s work together to make your next journey unforgettable.

Incredible energy, attention to detail!
Reviewed By CrystalSkier - Seattle WA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Annemarie is the kind of person who lights up the room when she enters with her energy and friendliness! She is clearly passionate about her travel advisor role and has a knack for engaging folks and creating a fun atmosphere. She is also incredibly knowledgeable about every detail of the cruise and is extremely detail oriented, which is greatly appreciated- when she is working with you she is fully focused on your needs! Would highly recommend her to friends and family- she is the best!

Fantastic
Reviewed By TMHMA - Puyallup WA | Traveled to Venice | Italy | Europe
Annemarie is awesome!!! I can’t recommend her and Cruise Azul highly enough. She did an outstanding job planning our cruise, from the cruise itself, air travel, transfers, excursions, just everything. She kept her finger on all the details, updated us promptly if anything changed. She genuinely cared about us, frequently checking in on the trip to see if we were having fun and if we needed anything. Just the best!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best travel agent ever is Annemarie Cassidy, Cruise Azul Travel. You'll be thrilled with her service. She gets us fabulous deals with more onboard credits and perks than we've ever had! She also puts together cruise groups for active people, and does any flights and hotel reservations needed. Travel is easier and more fun and luxurious with her service.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Girls' Trip Ever!
Reviewed By Jennifer - University Place, WA | Traveled to Caribbean
I recently went on the most amazing girl’s trip thanks Annemarie on a Southeastern Caribbean cruise on Virgin. I would have never considered a Virgin cruise but thanks to Annemarie’s experience and assistance, she coordinated an amazing trip! It was an absolute dream! The Valiant Lady was fantastic. Been lounging by the pool, taking a bungee workout class, participating in Scarlet Night, and dining at some of the most incredible restaurants--it was a trip that I will always remember. I highly recommend Annemarie to anybody! She has a true gift in vacation planning!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
