About Me

My husband and me on Mendenhall Glacier
My husband and me on Mendenhall Glacier

Cruising is one of my favorite ways to explore the world, and I have helped hundreds of families, couples, and groups plan unforgettable cruise vacations. My expertise is backed by firsthand experience sailing more than 15 ocean cruises on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Disney Cruise Line.

My travels have taken me throughout Alaska, the Eastern and Western Caribbean, and the Eastern Mediterranean. I have visited private destinations including Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at Coco Cay, Disney's Castaway Cay, and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. I have also sailed to Alaska four times on three different cruise lines — Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Disney Cruise Line — giving me unique insight into how each cruise line delivers a different Alaska experience.

In addition to ocean cruising, I assist clients with river cruises on Ama Waterways and Viking, as well as Princess Cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean. I also have extensive experience organizing and managing group cruises on both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises.

Whether you're planning your first cruise, a family vacation, a group sailing, or an Alaska adventure, I provide personalized recommendations, insider tips, and expert guidance every step of the way. My favorite ships are Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, Disney Cruise Line's Disney Treasure, and Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Edge — each offering a unique experience that I love sharing with my clients.

There is so much information on planning a Walt Disney World trip and this was our first. Melinda Vascellaro was absolutely invaluable to the success of our trip. She had literally every detail covered and made sure we understood how the whole planning process worked. This was the least stress we've had getting prepared for a vacation and everything was perfect!

2025 Family Disney Trip
Reviewed By Paugh - Elkton, MD | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We decided late last fall to take advantage of spring Disney hotel deals and surprise our kids for Christmas. We had worked with Melinda on a previous Disney trip and reached out to her again for this one. We decided on a split stay with multiple hotels and asked her for various options. She was quick to respond with different quotes and proposals and offered her advice on what path we should take. Melinda made what felt like a short planning window feel stress free and the trip was fantastic! We will definitely reach out again in the future!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

How Alaska Stole this Beach Girl's Heart

If you had asked me years ago where I wanted to vacation, Alaska probably wouldn't have made my list. I'm a sunshine, beach, and tropical destination kind of girl. When my husband decided he wanted to celebrate his 40th birthday with an Alaska cruise, I'll admit I had to give myself a little pep talk. I knew there wouldn't be white sand b...
