With a deep passion for travel and a special love for cruising, I specialize in helping clients experience the world in one of the most seamless and exciting ways possible- by ship.
Cruising offers something truly unique: the ability to explore multiple destinations while enjoying the comfort of a floating resort, boutique hotel, or even a luxury retreat. Whether it’s an ocean voyage, a river cruise, or a more immersive specialty sailing, I love helping my clients discover just how incredible this style of travel can be.
Through my ongoing training and hands-on industry experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of a wide range of cruise lines, ships, and itineraries. From large, amenity-filled ocean liners to intimate river cruises and unique expedition-style journeys, I stay up to date on what each offers so I can confidently match my clients with the right fit for their travel style, preferences, and budget.
I work with travelers at all stages, whether you’re brand new to cruising and not sure where to start, or you’re a seasoned cruiser looking for your next unforgettable experience. Some clients come to me dreaming of Alaska’s glaciers, others want the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, while many are drawn to the cultural richness of European river cruises. No matter the destination, my goal is always the same: to create a cruise experience that feels effortless, exciting, and perfectly tailored to you.
Beyond just booking a cruise, I provide full-service support to ensure every detail is thoughtfully handled. This includes helping you select the ideal itinerary and stateroom, coordinating flights, hotels, and transfers, and guiding you through everything from embarkation to on board experiences. I also stay available before, during, and after your trips - you always have someone in your corner if questions come up.
What I love most about being a travel advisor is building relationships with my clients and truly understanding what makes a vacation meaningful for them. Travel isn’t one-size-fits-all, and cruises are no exception. That’s why I take the time to listen, guide, and advocate for you - so your experience is not only smooth, but memorable in all the best ways.
If you’re considering a cruise - or even just curious about what’s possible - I’d love to help you explore your options and turn those ideas into an incredible journey.

tickets in hand. Need to change times and places, no problem
the airlines and hotels were glad to help.
Today!
Today you are at the mercy of all those institutions. Your
schedule was written in stone, opps a data platform and you
better keep it. Even when the service provider errors or makes
schedule corrections it’s not their fault. Welcome to the victims of
travel.
I found a great solution to today’s problems, a travel agent who
cares and knows how to cure your issues.
Recently completed a multi city trip down South. Got stranded,
had luggage issues and in general needed help.
To the rescue came Caroline Thurston of Diamond Bar Travel,
who I originally booked through. Caroline helped me change
scheduling and is working to generate rebates from those service
providers, that’s professional, maybe even old school.
Thanks Caroline.
