About Me

There’s something magical about setting sail—watching the sun dip below the horizon as the ocean stretches endlessly ahead. Cruising combines the excitement of travel with the ease of unpacking just once, and I love helping my clients experience that perfect blend of adventure and relaxation at sea.

I’ve personally cruised with Carnival and Royal Caribbean, and I’ve planned countless voyages for clients aboard Carnival, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line and Princess. These firsthand experiences allow me to provide honest, practical insight into what each cruise line offers—helping you find the ship, itinerary, and experience that best fits your travel style.

As a travel advisor, I work closely with top ocean and river cruise suppliers, giving me access to exclusive itineraries, special promotions, and insider support that elevate your cruise from good to unforgettable. Whether you’re dreaming of a Caribbean getaway, an Alaskan adventure, or a river journey through Europe, I’ll curate every detail—from stateroom selection and shore excursions to pre- and post-cruise stays.

What I love most about planning cruises is matching travelers with the experiences that speak to them. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor, I’ll handle the logistics so you can simply enjoy the journey. My goal is to make every cruise smooth, memorable, and filled with moments that remind you why the sea keeps calling you back.

When you work with me, you’ll have a dedicated partner who listens, plans thoughtfully, and is there every step of the way—before, during, and after you set sail.

Let’s start planning your next voyage and make it one you’ll never forget.

Another great trip with Kelly's help!
Reviewed By LB - Carmel, Indiana | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Kelly has helped us with four trips so far. A Caribbean Cruise, Southern Italy, London and Paris, and this last one to Australia and New Zealand. From start finish she has provided support, ideas, detailed itineraries, and so much more. She is very good at matching personal preferences and interests to the activities, accommodations, and timeline. She is also available during travel to help with any issues. We highly recommend Kelly!

Amazing Australia and New Zealand!
Reviewed By Terriffic Kelly Smith - Carmel, Indiana | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
One of our top international trips ever. What a seamless journey this was exploring 2 amazing countries put together by Kelly's itinerary for us. We have used Kelly multiple times and she's never failed to impress us with her incredible attention to detail with every aspect of the trip. Her Travel Plans app breaks down each day's transportation, activities, accommodations, hotel amentities, just about everything you could think of....it's all right there and available off line to view anytime you need to. She also updates you regularly via mesages on the app with any flight time updates, delays, gate changes or pick up arrangements that may occur. We've referred Kelly to family members, friends and neighbors. Kelly is terriffic!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
