Cruise Specialist, ASTA Certified Cruise Counselor

Azamara Quest and Norwegian Escape - Portland, ME

As a CLIA Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) and an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, I bring professional accreditation, industry trust, and firsthand expertise to every cruise vacation I plan. These credentials reflect not only advanced training, but a commitment to ethical standards, continued education, and delivering exceptional value to my clients.

As the owner of Pau Hana Travel and a proud member of Travel Leaders, I work closely with all the major cruise lines, giving me the ability to match each traveler with the cruise experience that best fits their style, budget, and travel goals. Strong supplier relationships allow me to advocate for my clients, identify added-value opportunities, and navigate the differences between cruise brands with confidence and clarity.

I specialize in cruises with top lines such as Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, and many more. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly magic, adults-only relaxation, luxury exploration, or adventure-filled itineraries, I can compare options across brands to find the right ship, itinerary, and onboard experience.

A major highlight of today’s cruise vacations is access to exclusive private island destinations, and I help my clients choose the experience that fits them best. These include Disney’s Castaway Cay, MSC’s Ocean Cay Marine Reserve, Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay, Norwegian’s Great Stirrup Cay, and Harvest Caye in Belize. Each offers a distinct atmosphere—from laid-back beach escapes to high-energy adventure parks and eco-focused retreats.

By working with Pau Hana Travel, you gain a knowledgeable advocate who understands the nuances of each cruise line and destination. My role is to simplify the process, provide honest guidance, and ensure your cruise vacation is not just booked—but thoughtfully planned to be the perfect fit from ship to shore.
