About Me

The Mediterranean is one of the world's most spectacular cruise destinations, offering a breathtaking mix of ancient history, world-class cuisine, and sun-drenched coastlines. However, because these itineraries often pack a new iconic city into every single day, navigating the logistics can quickly become overwhelming. That is where my 25+ years of specialized cruise expertise comes in, turning complex European vacations into a seamless reality.

While I have personally sailed the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean on Princess Cruises and Celebrity Cruises, my deepest expertise lies in the hundreds of successful Mediterranean voyages I have designed for my clients over the last two and a half decades.

Why my Mediterranean cruise expertise matters for your vacation:

  • Rome & Port Logistics Expert: Having been to Rome twice, I have a deep, firsthand understanding of its complex logistics—from coordinating seamless airport-to-hotel transfers to navigating the long trek to the cruise port in Civitavecchia.
  • The Perfect Ship Match: My portfolio extends across the region's top brands. I am highly proficient in booking the perfect match for your travel style, whether that is Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Norwegian (NCL), Celebrity, Princess, Viking, or Oceania.
  • Tailored Shore Excursions: With hundreds of travelers sent to this region, I know exactly which shore excursions are worth your time, when to book a private driver, and how to maximize your limited hours in each historic port.

Whether you are dreaming of a classic Western Mediterranean itinerary exploring Spain, France, and Italy, or a magical Eastern Mediterranean voyage through the Greek Isles, Croatia, and Turkey, let's leverage my decades of experience to design your perfect, stress-free European getaway today!

Attention to details
Reviewed By Kathy - Glendale, AZ | Traveled to Caribbean
I have had Shelli book cruises for me since 2012. I knew how organized and knowledgeable she was but I really learned about her attention to detail this past summer. I went on a cruise with my NY family (organized by their travel agent). I kept saying "Shelli would have....." because the other travel agent did not share the level of information that Shelli shares (especially for newer travelers). Shelli makes suggestions about dining and excursions and even helps with luggage tags. She also makes suggestions for hotels near ports (and where to stay on a pretty full ship when I was late to book.) The other travel agent did none of those things except to take the original group booking. I'm so glad I've had Shelli for my trips....almost ready for her to help with a trip to Ireland! Kathy
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

20 years working with Shelli
Reviewed By LuAnn - Beatrice, NE | Traveled to Caribbean
I have had Shelli as my TA for at least 20 years. She knows exactly what we like when we cruise and gives me the best advice on ships, rooms and ports. That’s why I’ve followed her from her last company. If you want someone who will always listen and follow up with you then she’s your gal. Thanks Shel, for everything.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Well arranged
Reviewed By Mickey634 - Peoria AZ | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Shelli did a great job arranging our whale watching excursion. She found a hotel with a great view, located whale watching boats and booked the tours, and recommended all inclusive which was an excellent idea. I greatly appreciated Shelli's experience and recommendations.
