About Me

If you’re ready to swap crowds for culture and immersion, small ship cruising might be your new favorite way to travel. With fewer than 1,000 passengers, these cruises are all about luxury, intimacy, and access. You get into the heart of the destinations that larger ships can't, which means no endless tender rides, no herding, or waiting in line. Instead, you get fine wine, crafted cocktails, chef-inspired meals, personal service, and unforgettable excursion experiences. I’ve cruised with some of the best: AmaWaterways, Windstar, Viking Ocean/ River, and HX Expeditions, to name a few. Whether you’re into cultural immersion, wine tasting, golf, spa, expeditions, or just relaxing. Leave the 3,000+ behind and let's find your perfect cruise.

We have used other agents in the past, since we have been working with Jo Ann we have never looked elsewhere. She is always there when we have questions even when she is out of the country. Once you use her you will see how amazing she is.

What a wonderful trip!
Reviewed By Nonnie - Jamestown TN | Traveled to Tahiti | French Polynesia | South Pacific
Putting a trip together by yourself is always stressful but, Jo Ann takes all that stress away. She is very knowledgeable about advising you with helpful hints and especially in helping you with on land arrangements before and after a cruise. She always wants to be sure you have the best trip possible at the best price.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
