About Me

Cruise smarter. Vacation better.
Cruise smarter. Vacation better.

There’s something different about cruise travel. You unpack once. The horizon keeps changing. Dinner feels like an event. The ship becomes its own little world, and for a few days or a few weeks, that world is entirely yours.

I plan ocean and river cruises for travelers who want clarity before they commit. Ship size, itinerary pacing, stateroom categories, dining programs, embarkation logistics – the choices matter more than most people realize. A Disney Cruise to the Bahamas is a completely different experience than a Viking river voyage through the Rhine. Norwegian and Royal Caribbean bring their own energy, scale, and sweet spots. The right cruise feels seamless and exactly like you. The wrong one feels crowded, rushed, or like you paid too much for the wrong things.

The destinations matter, too: a Caribbean cruise full of fun in the sun, an Alaskan itinerary that puts icy glaciers within arm’s reach, a Mediterranean route where you wake up in a different ancient port every morning, a European river cruise where the towns are small and the scenery never stops. Each one calls for a different ship, a different pace, a different kind of planning. I help you figure out which one is actually right for you.

And because cruises rarely stand alone, I design the full arc – flights, transfers, pre- and post-stays – so nothing feels like a loose end. You board ready. You disembark already wishing you could go back.

Chris made our trip easy, fun, and worry-free!
Reviewed By JackPanda - Denver, CO | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
This vacation was infinitely better with Chris’ service! We wouldn’t have known how to use the lightening lane passes and we definitely would have gone hungry due to lack of knowledge about in-park restaurants. Instead, we rode every rides we wanted with minimum waiting time and we dined at most fun and delicious restaurants for my birthday breakfast and dinner! Thank you Chris for making my birthday trip easy, fun, and memorable. We would recommend your service to any friends and family!

Amazing Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By MSolis - New York City | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Our extended week at Disney included multiple parks, resorts, and activities. Chris went above and beyond in every capacity over several months to plan this trip with us. He was so generous, helpful, and has really gone out of his way to give us the best park trip of our lives. He really cared that we understoodd the ins and outs of the Disney experience, had an itinerary that included all our interests and hopes, and above all that we had a fantastic time. We did!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing support for an unforgettable trip!
Reviewed By Jess - Burlington, VT | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
We planned our trip with our nieces, 8 & 10 years old, with Chris from start to finish! Chris' encyclopedic knowledge of Disney and his obvious joy in the experiences made it fun to explore and easy to trust his advice. Chris even made us an individualized photo scavenger hunt for our trip that the girls LOVED. We had a magical time and it wouldn't have happened without all of Chris' help from start to finish! He helped me understand all the dining options, the lightning lanes, and the resort options. He did a terrific job getting us the most for our money and our time.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Stress-free travel
Reviewed By L_Lee - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Our very first trip to the Magic Kingdom with our five-year-old was smooth and easy thanks to the calm expertise and guidance of Second Star. Chris asked all the right questions—some we wouldn't have even thought to ask—to help plan the right trip for us, anticipating needs and managing expectations. I don't know how we would have navigated this on our own!

Disney Dreams Came True!
Reviewed By ScottMo - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
When we first decided to take our little girl to Disney, we were completely overwhelmed. What hotel? Do we stay on property? Do we need the meal plan? Which rides do we prioritize? Enter Chris from Second Star. Chris listened to our ideas, helped us figure out what our goals were, and fashioned our vacation from scratch. All we had to do was show up. We cannot recommend Chris enough, especially if it’s your first time going to Disney. Thank you so much Chris!
