About Me

AmaLucia Tulip Time Cruise
AmaLucia Tulip Time Cruise

Let me introduce you to the world of small ship cruising. You can charter a yacht to sail the sparkling blue coast of Croatia, take a river cruise down the Nile, Mekong, Rhine or Danube, explore the Greek isles or Alaska in a small ocean ship, or experience the wonders of Antarctica in a purpose built expedition ship. Small ships offer unparalleled experiences covering all seven continents. 

Some of the benefits of sailing on a small ship can include:

  • More personalized service - the crew may even learn your name!
  • Dock in smaller and more unique ports which often allows you to spend more time in the places you came to see.
  • Less crowds - you will rarely wait in line for anything on a small ship.
  • A more immersive experience - depending on the line, you may enjoy an exclusive tour or entertainment event just for the passengers on your ship. 
  • Specialty cruises - from wine cruises to story telling cruises to star gazing cruises, your ship may invite experts or celebrities to join the sailing and host special lectures, classes, tours or dinners.

A quick story - as my husband and I waited in line at the Buenos Aires airport to return home from our Antarctica trip, we began chatting with the ladies in line next to us. They asked where we had been and we proceeded to rave about the absolutely incredible experience we had aboard our ship in Antarctica. Because our ship held less than 200 passengers, we had ample opportunities to take the Zodiacs to shore or cruise around the bays. When we asked the ladies where they had gone, they too said they had visited Antarctica but on a very large cruise ship. They were so disappointed in the experience they had (especially after hearing about our experience!) Because of their size, the large ships are not allowed to stop in Antarctica. So these ladies technically saw Antarctica but did not have an opportunity to fully experience it. 

Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple or with a group, I can help you sort through the many different small ship options and choose the one that is right for you. In addition, I can book your pre and post-cruise travel to truly round out your trip.

Simply Outstanding: Planning, Recommendations, Logistics, Execution
Reviewed By 808Buff - Indio, CA | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We cannot overstate our satisfaction with Jennie's assistance. We just returned from our first trip to Italy though we have been to other European countries. It was: Rome (4 nights), Siena (3), Florence (4), Milan (2), and Lake Como (3). After receiving our input, Jennie provided accommodation recommendations for each city based on location within the city, budget, and our interests (food, museums, tours, etc). EVERY hotel/B&B was perfect for the city & budget allowing us to splurge in Florence & Lake Como, tours, and dining. She took care of tours (recommendations & booking) and travel, and everything worked out.
Jennie Brewster responded
"Thank you, Kelly! I'm so happy to hear that your first visit to Italy was all you hoped for. It was such a pleasure helping you plan this dream vacation. "

So much better with help!
Reviewed By Kimmie - Pooler, GA | Traveled to Germany | Europe
Jennie was amazing from the first call. I was overwhelmed where to start planning our trip. Jennie asked all the right questions and created an itinerary that was full of things we wanted to do. Having a plan by someone who was experienced felt so much better than just guessing on my own. I was able to have her tweak things through the process and even when we were on the trip and I needed to make a change! She responded in a timely manner every time I had questions and I never felt like my requests or changes were a bother. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!??
Jennie Brewster responded
"Thank you so much! It was my privilege to help you sort through all of your thoughts and ideas for Germany. There is just so much to see and do that it's sometimes hard to narrow it all down into just eight nights! I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip and that the info I provided was helpful."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Once in a lifetime family trip
Reviewed By SZed87 - Savannah, GA | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Jennie planned an 80th birthday trip for my mom. She designed a trip for 4 people with both an 80 year old and a 2 year old and she managed to give us the best possible experience. I cannot thank Jennie enough for organizing this time for us to enjoy together. We couldn’t have done it without Jennie’s help and we’ll never forget this vacation.
Jennie Brewster responded
"This makes my heart so happy! It was such an honor to craft this experience for your family. I'm so glad you loved Ireland and came hope with lifelong memories. I can't wait to hear all about it and see some pictures."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
