About Me

World Cruise & Luxury Cruise Consultant

I am a luxury travel expert who specializes in World Cruising and luxury cruising on voyages of all lengths. Cruise lines that I book most frequently include Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Seabourn, Holland America Line, Silversea and more. I know these cruise lines inside and out — including the onboard experience, their staterooms and suites, restaurants and cuisine, entertainment, and other details. Your best strategy for having an excellent cruise starts with having a dedicated Cruise Consultant. I do the research and make the reservations, and I’m there for you if questions or concerns arise. I have personal relationships with every cruise line I do business with. With me, you have an extra layer of knowledge, insight and advocacy if it is ever needed. Listening to my clients and understanding their needs is extremely important. I look forward to getting to know you and making your next vacation the trip of your dreams.
