About Me

We sail differently
We sail differently

As a Virgin Voyages Gold Status First Mate, I specialize in adults-only cruise adventures that toss the rulebook overboard and replace it with champagne, great food, and a very good playlist.

I’ve personally sailed on the Scarlet Lady, the Resilient Lady, the brand-new Brilliant Lady on her New York Mermaiden, then hopped back on again with a group out of Miami - because once you sail Virgin, YOU GET IT.

I’ll be returning to Resilient Lady for the Valentine’s Voyage, where Virgin is guaranteed to turn up the romance, the entertainment, and a few delightful surprises. Sweet, spicy, or somewhere in between, this sailing delivers. I'm looking forward to seeing her recent glow-ups since my last visit.

Next up the cruise with a cause, the BOOB CRUISE. I'm planning a special group cruise out of New York on board the Valiant Lady with an overnight in Bermuda in October, supporting breast cancer awareness. For every booking, I'll be donating a portion to the Cancer Society - travel with purpose, but make it fabulous. 

Then it's off to Miami where I'm doing a back-to-back on the Scarlet Lady in November 2026 - first for a seminar-at-sea, then for my birthday bash at sea, and you're all invited to the party.

Catch all the onboard fun, insider moments, and my unfiltered reactions on my YouTube channel: @ILoveTravel-Ottawa.

I stay plugged into everything Virgin Voyages - from new onboard innovations to the cheeky little secrets that make every voyage feel fresh and fabulous. I've built strong relationships with my contacts at the brand, who even invited me to join their table at the Canadian Travel Awards.

Virgin Voyages has also been crowned Best Cruise Line in the World by Travel + Leisure, three years in a row. Not that we’re surprised.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape, a celebration, a wedding at sea, a  boutique-style retreat, or a wild group adventure, I'll match you with the Virgin voyage that fits your vibe perfectly. 

 Expect style, mischief, and memories that last long after the sunscreen fades.

First time cruising
Reviewed By Vicki - Ottawa | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
Annick was amazing to work with…everything from beginning to end. My emails were promptly responded to and communications were clear and detailed. The cruise itself was amazing. The ship was extremely organized and it was impressive. The food was very good and the non-stop entertainment pleased everyone in the group. Overall it was a great vacation and definitely one of our best. We are all happy we did it and I'd recommend it to anyone. Already thinking about next year's vacation.

Caribbean Group Cruise, MSC
My husband and I would like to recommend Annick Louisseize from I Love Travel. We booked a cruise through her. We were being added with a large group that she seamlessly orchestrated. She was not only wonderful to deal with, she was very "knowledgeable" and helpful. She was on top of questions and concerns. I was also impressed with her encouragment of feedback after the trip ended. I'm sure to help with future trips that we will definitely book through Annick. Annick we ?? your spirit for travel and would like to thank you for helping make our vacation so special and memorable. ??????
