About Me

I am your cruise specialist. I've been cruising the world for 15+ years, averaging more than 2 a year since then. I have not found a better solution for traveling with large groups that often range from small children to handicap great grandparents. 

I specialize in Alaska and the Caribbean and have relationships with all the major cruise lines. I will make sure your trip will fit you or your group, from the right ship, the best rooms, the can't miss excursions... I can even help you find the right travel insurance plan!

How about a Thanksgiving Cruise this year? (and yes, you can still have turkey and dressing!)
