About Me

Celebrity Cruise Xcel
Celebrity Cruise Xcel

I create unforgettable cruise vacations for travelers who want seamless planning, exceptional value, and truly personalized experiences. Every itinerary I design is carefully matched to my clients’ travel style, preferred destinations, and dream cruise experiences. Aa an ocean cruise expert, I work closely with the world’s most respected cruise lines including Celebrity Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Seabourn, Silversea Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Holland America Line, Viking Ocean Cruises, Windstar Cruises, Princess Cruises, and Royal Caribbean.

What sets me apart is that I have personally sailed on most of the cruise lines I recommend, giving my clients true first-hand knowledge and real-world experience when choosing the perfect cruise.

From ultra-luxury sailings to refined premium cruising and intimate small-ship experiences, I know how to match you with the perfect ship, stateroom, itinerary, and onboard experience. With over two decades in the travel industry, I have planned and booked hundreds of exceptional ocean cruises, giving my clients insider expertise, preferred partnerships, and stress-free service from start to finish.

I handle every detail—cruise selection, cabin categories, airfare, hotels, shore excursions, and pre- or post-cruise stays—so you can simply relax and enjoy the journey. My mission is to deliver luxury, personalized ocean cruise vacations that combine comfort, value, and unforgettable moments at sea.

Client Testimonials

Celebrity Cruise to Alaska for Nursing Anniversary
"If you are planning a group trip-especially something as meaningful as a milestone anniversary- you want someone who truly understands how to bring it all together flawlessly. This is exactly what Yvette Taylor did for us." Our nursing class anniversary brought together over 5 nurses from all over the United States, many of whom hadn't seen each other in decades. Yvette coordinated every details of our Celebrity Cruise to Alaska, including pre-and-post cruise hotels, scenic train travel, transfers, and group logistics- and she did it seamlessly. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized. What truly sets Yvette apart is you never feel like just a booking. You feel supported before, during and after the trip.

British Isles Cruise
Yvette took care of every single detail for our British Isles Explorer cruise. It was perfect from start to finish! We loved how she had been to so many of the places and gave us great advice. There is nothing compared to having someone know what they are talking about.

American Cruise Line Columbia and Snake River
Yvette planned our American Cruise line Columbia & Snake river cruise and it was absolutely amazing. Every detail was handled perfectly, and the excursions she recommended were spot on. The jet boat ride on the Snake River, was unforgettable and ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip. Thanks to Yvette's knowledge as a luxury cruise travel advisor, we fell in love with American Cruise Line. We trusted her completely, became loyal to the brand, and have now taken five more cruises with them. We only sail on small ships and we love how everything is included and in the US. She truly knows how to match her clients with the right cruise and make the whole experience effortless and special.
