About Me

Seamless Luxury Travel Expertise

I specialize in seamless luxury travel experiences, with deep expertise in Luxury Cruising, Expedition Cruising, Alaska travel, and River Cruising. I am a State of Alaska Certified Alaska Expert with extensive firsthand experience across Alaska’s Inside Passage, Denali, and even north of the Arctic Circle. I am also certified with leading luxury, expedition, and river cruise lines, having personally sailed many of the world’s most iconic waterways and ocean regions, including Europe, the Caribbean, French Polynesia, and beyond. Whether you’re dreaming of glacier-filled horizons, elegant riverside cities, remote expedition destinations, or ultra-luxury voyages, I design custom itineraries that remove complexity and elevate the experience. From ship and itinerary selection to air, hotels, and private transfers, every detail is thoughtfully managed—so your journey feels effortless from start to finish. Luxury travel should be seamless. That’s exactly how I plan it.

Great family trip to Costa Rica
Reviewed By LSanchez - Pueblo, Colorado | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
Making reservations with David was easy. He was very communicative and responded quickly to any questions. He made certain that we were prepared for all stages of our trip. Once we arrived we had a wonderful time at Planet Hollywood in Costa Rica. The resort was clean, had great food, and a beautiful view. There were always activities and people available to help with any questions. When we arrived back home, David checked in with us to discuss our experience and see if we had any questions or concerns. I would give our experience with David 5 stars!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Custom Europe Delight
    David, our Travel Yeti, has really been amazing for us: he listens carefully to what we are looking for, and keeps at it till we get there, with bookings, tour ideas, places to find good food. We've never felt like we were "last in line", so to speak -- timely responses, and willingness to help us rethink previous ideas till we feel comfortable with our decisions. He is enjoying repeat business from us!

    Cruise Group Satisfaction
    We asked David to prepare a Cruise proposal in time for a meeting with our fellow travelers. It was extremely short notice. He came through with great information! When we booked the cruise his followup was fast and comprehensive! I recommend David for your Cruise/Travel needs!
    Jim H. - Denver, CO
    Italy and Greece Delight!
    Let me start by saying, WOW! We had an amazing time! The hotels, tours, and transfers were all first rate! Great locations, skipping lines, and exclusive access to sites/experiences others were totally jealous of. Italy. Venice, Verona, Florence & Rome. The hotel locations and accommodations were fantastic! All excursions were what I would call must-do. Colosseum underground, Pisa, Vatican, Pompeii, museums, all awesome! Greece. OMG! The hotel in Athens was fantastic with a great rooftop lounge area. We sat up there every night and watched the sunset over the acropolis and then watched the Acropolis lights come on. Mykonos and Santorini were even more magical still! The tour of Delos was a top experience. David, thank you for helping us put this together! Everyone really, really enjoyed this trip. You clearly listened to what we wanted and made it happen. We will definitely be in touch to plan our next trip! Maybe Machu Picchu and Galapagos next year?!
