CRUISE AND GROUP TRAVEL SPECIALIST

Daniela on Star of the Seas during Christmas time.

I believe the most meaningful way to experience the world is by water. Cruising offers a unique perspective, connecting destinations, cultures, and experiences in a way that feels seamless, enriching, and effortlessly comfortable. It is also how I love to travel personally, and that passion is at the heart of every journey I design.

Originally from Germany and now based in South Carolina, I bring authentic European insight together with extensive global travel expertise. I specialize in river, ocean, and expedition cruises, helping travelers find the right cruise line, ship, and itinerary based on their travel style and preferences. With so many options available today, I guide you through the choices to ensure your experience feels just right from the very beginning.

From sailing Europe’s iconic rivers to exploring remote regions aboard small expedition ships, I design cruise journeys that go beyond the expected. Many of my clients enhance their experience with carefully planned time on land before or after their cruise, creating a more immersive and well-rounded journey.

Group travel is another key part of my expertise. I work with families, friends, and affinity groups who want to travel together without the stress of managing all the details. Whether you are planning a milestone celebration, a hosted cruise, or a custom group trip, I ensure everything is thoughtfully coordinated so the experience feels smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved.

My work also extends into guided and custom-designed travel, allowing clients to explore destinations more deeply through curated land experiences, private touring, and thoughtfully crafted itineraries. This is especially valuable for travelers who want to extend their cruise or create a more personalized journey.

Having traveled extensively throughout Europe and experienced a wide variety of cruise ships and styles, I bring firsthand knowledge to every recommendation. From larger ships with vibrant onboard experiences to smaller vessels focused on cultural immersion and refined service, I help you find the cruise experience that truly fits you.

My own travels continue to shape how I plan and design experiences for my clients. London remains my favorite city in the world, and as a passionate foodie, I am always drawn to authentic local cuisine and meaningful cultural experiences. I also have a deep appreciation for exceptional entertainment and immersive experiences that bring destinations to life in memorable ways. Walt Disney World Resort has been a big part of my personal travel story as well. Having visited for over 20 years, I understand the magic, nostalgia, and thoughtful planning that go into creating a seamless and truly unforgettable theme park experience.

As the founder of Seabreeze & Sunshine Travels, a full-service travel agency established in 2019, I provide a highly personalized planning experience built on expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for each client’s journey. I am proud to be a Diamond Super Agent with Travel Leaders Network, as well as a certified Leisure Travel Specialist and Group Travel Specialist.
