Snowbird Ocean & River Cruise Consultant

Ankor Wat, Cambodia

I help Snowbirds, Winter Texans, and retired couples arrange cruises from their summer or winter homes.  Also cruises for those travelling with children.

Having been a Snowbird & Winter Texan for 9 years, and with 25  years of cruising experience, I know the opportunities and challenges that come with snowbird season and can help you choose a great vacation.

Granted Elite Cruise Counsellor designation by the Cruise Lines International Association.  I can simplify the many cruise lines and thousands of itineraries to find the one that will provide the experience you want.  I also have special certification in Accessible Travel.

Cruises are a convenient vacation since you can often drive to a cruise port from your winter home, avoiding the hassle of airports and hotels.  Canadian snowbirds can usually book in Canadian dollars, avoiding bank fees for exchange. Individuals and groups aren’t limited to winter getaways.  I can help you cruise oceans and rivers around the world any time of year.

I also work with snowbird parks & communities to help them form cruise groups. Consider helping to organize a group - you could earn a Tour Conductor credit!  We have experience with groups approaching 200 guests.

Even experienced cruisers may be missing out.  Some get stuck in a rut by choosing a budget cruise line when they first start and are unsure if they’ll like to cruise, then later find themselves trapped by loyalty points.  Preferences change, or you may look for a different experience when you bring guests with you.  Let me help you assess your cruise personality to ensure you enjoy every moment of your cruise.
