About Me

Beautiful glaciers of Alaska!
Beautiful glaciers of Alaska!

     Are you ready to set sail on an unforgettable journey through the majestic wonders of Alaska? Imagine standing on the deck of your cruise ship, surrounded by breathtaking glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and pristine wilderness. As a travel advisor specializing in cruises and bespoke US travel, I'm here to help you make your Alaskan cruise dreams a reality.

     Alaska is a destination like no other. From the moment you step foot on the ship, you'll be immersed in the awe-inspiring beauty of this untouched wilderness. As you sail through the icy waters, keep your eyes peeled for magnificent whales breaching the surface. Witnessing these gentle giants in their natural habitat is an experience that will leave you in awe.

     One of the highlights of an Alaskan cruise is the chance to witness the grandeur of glaciers. As you approach these massive ice formations, you'll be captivated by their stunning blue hues and the thunderous crackling sounds as they calve into the sea. It's a sight that will stay with you forever.

     But Alaska is not just about the wildlife and glaciers. This vast land also boasts incredible national parks, where you can explore pristine forests, hike along scenic trails, and encounter diverse wildlife. From Denali National Park, home to North America's highest peak, to Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there's no shortage of natural wonders to discover.

     When it comes to planning your Alaskan cruise, I work closely with top cruise suppliers. These reputable cruise lines offer exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, and a wide range of activities to ensure that your cruise experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

     As your travel advisor, I will curate a personalized itinerary that suits your interests and preferences. Whether you're a nature enthusiast seeking whale-watching excursions, a photography lover in search of stunning landscapes, or a family looking for enriching experiences in national parks, I will tailor your Alaskan cruise to create memories that will last a lifetime.

     So, if you're ready to embark on an adventure through the awe-inspiring beauty of Alaska, contact me today. Let's work together to plan your dream Alaskan cruise and create an experience that exceeds your expectations.

My tour with Shana through New England was the best trip I've ever taken, 7 years later I still talk about it! I've also been on cruises and other independent trips booked by Shana, and those are some of my most memorable experiences.

I booked a guided trip with Shana to New England. We took the old cog rail to the top of Mt. Washington, walked along the boardwalk in the Boston Harbor, saw the gingerbread cottages on Martha's Vineyard, and toured the mansions of Newport, RI. It was a great trip!!

So much less travel stress!
Reviewed By Maggie - Asheville, NC | Traveled to Boston ~ Massachusetts ~ USA
Shana went above and beyond to make sure our trip was amazing! She put together a whole day itinerary for us on Thursday that gave us a great overall view of the city. It took away so much stress that I usually have about traveling and planning. In addition to helping us plan and book attractions, Shana also sent us a whole list of recommendations as well as travel tips for our first time using public transit! I can't wait to book more trips with Shana's expert guidance.

"I'm so glad I was able to help plan a trip to one of my favorite cities: Boston! During this trip, a tour was unfortunately cancelled for the clients, but I was able to facilitate them receiving a full refund, while providing them access to rebook the tour with another operator. A small bump, but overall the trip was a success!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

First time cruiser
Reviewed By Snoutted - Richmond, CA | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Shana scheduled my very first cruise in Spring 2022 based on just an inkling I had of what I wanted. She presented comparisons of several different lines, weighing the values and differences for the obvious things, such as costs, itineraries, cabin locations, and food choices. But she also dug much deeper into things I would not have considered, like Who has the best drink packages for the money? What is the experience on an adults-only ship vs. a family friendly ship? What exactly is there to do on the ship between ports? She sifted through all of the data and helped me find the perfect choice with MSC, that stopped at Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, and a private island in Bahamas (which was pretty close to Heaven on earth). It was a fantastic experience that turned me from cruise skeptic to dreaming about my next boat trip before the ship returned. If you are ready for the vacation of your dreams but can't get past the work of planning, you must get Shana on the jo

Washington, walked along the boardwalk in the Boston Harbor, saw the gingerbread cottages on Martha's Vineyard, and toured the mansions of Newport, RI. We also explored some of the White Mountains and small seaside New England towns. Overall it was a great trip!!

First Cruise was unforgettable!
Shana scheduled my very first cruise in Spring 2022. She presented comparisons of several different lines, weighing the values and differences for the obvious things, such as costs, itineraries, cabin locations, and food choices. But she also dug much deeper into things I would not have considered, like Who has the best drink packages for the money? What is the experience on an adults-only ship vs. a family friendly ship?

She sifted through all of the data and helped me find the perfect choice with MSC, that stopped at Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, and a private island in Bahamas (which was pretty close to Heaven on earth). She even planned 2 days of sightseeing in Miami pre-departure! It was a fantastic experience that turned me from cruise skeptic to dreaming about my next boat trip before the ship returned. If you are ready for the vacation of your dreams, you must get Shana on the job!
