Luxury Cruise Expert, Europe + Tahiti + Alaska

Lisbon, a great land and cruise port destination

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm the founder of Port and Passport, and I plan luxury cruises and land journeys for Gen X empty nesters like me.

Here's what I love about this chapter. Your kids have launched, you've got the time and the budget you didn't have at 35, and you're finally taking the trips you kept putting off.

You already know how to travel well. You're just tired of the twenty open tabs and the guessing.

That's the part I take off your hands. I've toured 50+ ships, sailed 35+ cruises, booked 200+ Alaska cruises, and traveled in 40+ countries ... and I'm still out there 10+ weeks a year on my own dime, walking cabins and checking whether what was true last year is still true. 

So when I tell you a ship is right for you, it's because I've been standing on it.

I'll also tell you when something isn't right for you, even when it costs me the sale. That honesty is the whole reason my yes means anything.

What I book:

• Luxury ocean, river, expedition and yacht cruising.
• Land journeys through Europe and the South Pacific.
• Explora Journeys is one of the cruise lines I book most.
• Alaska is the biggest piece of my business, including multi-generational cruises.

I know which lines get into Glacier Bay and which ones don't, and that one detail changes the whole trip.

As seen in: Travel + Leisure has quoted me in three articles, including a June 2026 print feature where I was the only travel advisor in a room of cruise line executives. Parade quoted me in six of their ten tips for women over 50.

No planning fee on cruises. Complex custom land itineraries are usually $150 per person.
