About Me

Amaris Scipione in front of Liberty of the Seas
Amaris Scipione in front of Liberty of the Seas

My first cruise was in 2021 at the re-start of cruising after the pandemic. I started selling travel in 2019 and it became evident quickly that many families needed help with cruising. Many travel agents left the industry during the pandemic, but I decided to dive into this new world of cruising. Cruising in 2021 came with challenges such as required vaccinations and time-sensitive testing. Luckily, many of these challenges have disappeared as we leave the pandemic behind us.

My commitment to selling cruises meant that I needed to fully understand the ins and outs of cruising. One of the ways I did this was by cruising. In one year, I cruised Liberty of the Seas from Galveston, Odyssey of the Seas from Fort Lauderdale, Scarlet Lady from Miami, Disney Dream from Port Canaveral, and Norwegian Jewel from Vancouver. Since that year, I've continued to sail. We spent one spring break on the Caribbean Princess sailing to Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. We celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary on board the Wonder of the Seas for an Eastern Mediterranean cruise. I celebrated my 40th birthday with a group of nearly 50 on board the Icon of the Seas. 

My cruise knowledge continues to grow. I earned my Master Cruise Counsellor certification from CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association.) I've also expanded into river cruising as well. I am also a Distinctive Voyages host and host one cruise each year. I hosted guests on the Azamara Pursuit last fall through the Adriatic Sea and will host another group on Star Pride through Iceland.

Ocean cruising is ideal for families! The wide range of activities and the ease of your room floating with you makes it an easy trip. This is a popular option for multi-generational families as well!

Please contact me for your next family cruise! I'm happy to match you with the best ship and itinerary for you.

Best and Easiest Cruise of Our Lives!
Reviewed By Sebastian - Southfield, MI | Traveled to Bimini Islands ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
This was my first time booking a trip with a travel agent, and Amaris made the entire process SO easy and stress free.
On top of that, she was always available in a timely manner with information about our trip, as well as helpful insights and tips into the locations we were visiting along our cruise.

Easiest vacation ever!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The most memorable trip!
Reviewed By nbest - MI | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We have used Amaris 4 times in 3 years to book our Disney trips. She is the best and so knowledgeable. This time we were taking our 7 month old for the first time and Amaris helped to make it the most memorable trip we’ve had! I will continue to book our trips with her and would recommend anyone I know to do the same!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Isafjordur, Iceland

Isafjordur, Iceland

Our morning starts out slow. We are docking in Isafjordur, but we won’t arrive until noon. This gives us plenty of time to get ready for the day and have breakfast. We go to the buffet for breakfast where I have some sausage and potatoes. My son has a bunch of fruit. We then go to the Yacht Club and check on the progress of the puzzle. There is ...

Onboard Ovation of the Seas

Onboard Ovation of the Seas

This is a business trip, and a sea day means it’s mostly a workday. The day starts with Common Ground with Vicki Freed. Vicki is the Vice President of sales for Royal Caribbean and this session is a question-and-answer session between travel advisors and Royal Caribbean. It’s where we get the insider scoop. Some questions are still top-secret, b...

Hubbard Glacier

Hubbard Glacier

We woke up to a beautiful view of Hubbard Glacier from our balcony. This is a tidal glacier which is different from the glacier yesterday, but I didn’t hear enough of the announcement to tell you the difference! We walked up two decks to deck twelve which houses the Garden Café which is the buffet onboard. I had my typical NCL breakfast o...

Goldbelt Tram in Juneau

Juneau, Alaska

The state capitol of Juneau, Alaska is smaller than I expected. We docked away from the main town so we took a shuttle bus into town. The shuttle drops you right by the Goldbelt Tram and also where the other ships are docked. I booked a Gold Mining Excursion for later in the day so we had some time to explore the town. One of the things w...

Glacier Bay National Park

Glacier Bay National Park

I thought it was strange that Glacier Bay was listed on itinerary, but it wasn’t listed as a place we’d dock. In my opinion, it seemed like a marketing thing because Glacier Bay sounds better than Day at Sea. I didn’t have high expectations for today since in my head it was just a sea day. I was wrong. It’s been one of the best days on the trip....
