About Me

Enjoying the Rhine River in Cologne
Enjoying the Rhine River in Cologne

Picture yourself sipping wine on the Danube or uncovering hidden gems along the Amalfi Coast - this is more than a cruise; it’s a story waiting to unfold. Having celebrated life’s milestones on river cruises (including my own birthday!), I bring a personal touch to designing your perfect journey. Partnering with top-tier cruise lines like AmaWaterways, I ensure your experience includes enriching excursions, luxurious accommodations, and memories to treasure for a lifetime.

Small Ship Experience

For those seeking a more intimate way to explore the world’s most stunning destinations, I specialize in small ship cruises that provide space to enjoy your surroundings and build meaningful connections - without the crowds of larger vessels. Imagine sailing through French Polynesia’s turquoise lagoons, exploring vibrant cultures and stunning beaches. My partnerships with Windstar Cruises, Seabourn, Silversea, Ponant, Explora Journeys, and HX (formerly Hurtigruten) ensure your journey is unforgettable.

Expedition Cruises: Adventure Meets Luxury

For travelers with a taste for adventure, expedition cruises offer access to the most remote and breathtaking corners of the world—all with the comfort and sophistication of a luxury vessel.

  • • The Arctic & Antarctica: Witness towering glaciers, playful penguins, and majestic polar bears. With expert-led excursions like kayaking through fjords or marveling at the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), these expeditions offer unmatched experiences.
  • • The Galápagos Islands: Explore Charles Darwin’s “living laboratory,” encountering giant tortoises, sea lions, and blue-footed boobies. Snorkeling, hiking, and guided tours bring this unique ecosystem to life.

Partnering with leaders like Seabourn, Atlas Ocean Cruises, HX and Ponant, I ensure every moment is designed with environmental care, luxury, and enriching experiences in mind.

Why Choose a River or Small Ship Ocean Cruise?

River and small ship cruises offer a personalized and enriching way to travel. With fewer passengers, you’ll enjoy:

  • • Access to hidden destinations: Explore boutique ports and landmarks larger ships can’t reach.
  • • Immersive experiences: From private wine tastings to exclusive guided tours, your journey is more meaningful.
  • • Exclusive events and guests: These cruises may include special tickets to events like Formula 1 races or visits from renowned chefs, historians, or scientists.
  • • All-inclusive luxury: Indulge in fine dining, enrichment programs, and accommodations that rival the best hotels.

Whether you’re drawn to Europe’s rivers, the vibrant reefs of Australia, the Galápagos’ biodiversity, the Caribbean’s turquoise waters, or the untouched beauty of Antarctica, these cruises offer a seamless blend of adventure, culture, and luxury. For those seeking something truly exotic, voyages along Africa’s breathtaking coasts or Egypt’s iconic Nile provide an unforgettable connection to history and nature.

What Defines a Small Ship or Yacht?

  • • Small ships typically carry between 200 and 600 guests, offering personalized service, spacious accommodations, and access to boutique destinations larger ships can’t reach.
  • • Yachts are even more intimate, often hosting fewer than 100 guests, creating an exclusive and private atmosphere. Both provide a relaxed, crowd-free environment ideal for luxury travelers seeking exceptional experiences.

Cruise Lines You Can Trust

I partner with the world’s most prestigious cruise lines, including:

  • • AmaWaterways: Award-winning river cruises with unmatched cultural immersion.
  • • Windstar Cruises: Boutique yachts offering off-the-beaten-path exploration.
  • • Seabourn: Ultra-luxury small ships with impeccable service.
  • • Silversea: All-inclusive voyages emphasizing personalized experiences.
  • • HX (Hurtigruten): Leaders in sustainable expedition cruises.
  • • Explora Journeys: Redefining luxury ocean cruising with a modern, immersive approach.

Let’s Plan Your Next Voyage

Whether you dream of a European river cruise, a small ship journey through French Polynesia, or an Arctic expedition, I’m here to make it happen. Let’s create a travel experience that leaves you inspired, rejuvenated, and with memories to treasure for a lifetime.

Amazing trip celebrating a friend 50th birthday

Jackie has been amazing. She had been with us every step of the way even down to helping us get our friends driver license back that we lost on the shuttle on our first day. She has checked in on us to make sure everything is ok and that we are happy.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Best referral ever and WOW moments
My husband and I took our first real vacation in over 20 years. After 25 years of marriage, we decided to check a few boxes on our bucket list and explore Europe for a whole month. We started in Portugal, and then proceeded to Spain, France and finally Italy. That was more of a trip than we felt we could plan effectively, so we sought out some travel assistance and found NuVibe through a friend’s referral. Best referral ever!! Jackie listened to what we were hoping for and then proceeded to plan out the most amazing travel experience we could have ever dreamed of. We could never have planned every detail and I am certain that we never could have utilized our time as effectively as we did if Jackie hadn’t handled the entire itinerary. We had so many unforgettable WOW moments. We are so grateful to Jackie for making this trip as perfect as it was. If we take any future family trips (which we are so inspired to do now) - NuVibe Travel will be the ones to plan it for us.
