About Me

Cruising is one of the most effortless, immersive, and customizable ways to explore the world but with so many ships, itineraries, and cabin categories to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you ever step on board. That’s where I come in.

As a Cruise Planning Expert certified with Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Princess Cruises, and AmaWaterways, I specialize in helping clients cut through the clutter and book the cruise that fits them best whether it’s a Caribbean escape with the family, a European honeymoon at sea, or a once-in-a-lifetime river cruise through Portugal or Vietnam.

Why Clients Trust Me With Their Cruise Vacations

I didn’t just take a few training courses I’ve sailed the ships, earned the certifications, and curated cruise experiences for travelers of every kind. After completing Royal Caribbean’s Bachelor of the Seas program in 2019, I spent years planning sailings for families, couples, and solo travelers. I’ve personally cruised with Royal Caribbean and experienced the difference between ships like Grandeur of the Seas and Allure of the Seas which helped shape the way I now recommend ships based on size, atmosphere, and amenities.

After realizing that Carnival wasn’t a good fit for our clients due to the ship atmosphere and crowding, we moved toward premium lines that deliver elevated experiences without sacrificing  un. That decision led me to Virgin Voyages, where I became a Gold Tier First Mate a top-level advisor status that gives me insider access, early dining reservations, and priority perks for my cruise clients.My role is to be your cruise matchmaker guiding you to the line, ship, and itinerary that feels just right for you.

Cruise Lines I Specialize In

?? Royal Caribbean – Great for multigenerational families and adventure seekers who want action-packed itineraries and mega-ship experiences.

?? Princess Cruises – The original Love Boat, Princess is perfect for classic romance, onboard elegance, and destination-rich sailing.

?? Virgin Voyages – Adults-only, elevated, and refreshingly modern. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, and grown-up getaways with no kids, buffets, or upcharges. ?? Celebrity Cruises – Sophisticated ocean cruising with spa-inspired accommodations and fine dining, ideal for anniversary trips or upscale group travel. ?? AmaWaterways – Intimate, all-inclusive river cruising through Europe and Southeast Asia. Ideal for cultural travelers, wine lovers, and clients seeking slower-paced luxury.

Hosted Cruises & Group Travel

I also host and curate small group cruise experiences, allowing you to join a community of like-minded travelers with added support, exclusive events, and concierge planning from start to finish.

Upcoming hosted sailings include:

  • Greece Island Glow Cruise (September 2026) – A beautiful blend of culture, coastal charm, and curated group excursions

We stayed in exquisite, perfectly situated locations, offering effortless access to top-tier sightseeing. This was pure luxury, entirely hassle-free, allowing me to soak in every precious moment. Her expertly crafted itinerary was a masterpiece, guiding me seamlessly. The dining and activity recommendations were superb. Every meal was a delight, every experience a cherished memory.

A Seamless and Luxurious Greek Isles Escape
Reviewed By AMM Traveler - California | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Our recent vacation to Greece was nothing short of exceptional, and we owe that to Adriane at Abundant Moments and Memories. From the moment we reached out with the idea of sailing through the Greek Isles, she listened closely to what we wanted and curated a personalized experience that exceeded all expectations. She introduced us to Virgin Voyages, which turned out to be the perfect match. The adults-only atmosphere, elevated dining options, and immersive excursions made this cruise feel like a true indulgence. Adriane handled every detail—from securing the perfect Sea Terrace cabin to guiding us through excursions in Santorini, Mykonos, and Athens. We felt well-informed, cared for, and completely at ease. What really stood out was her insider knowledge and thoughtful touches. She knew which restaurants to try, which shore excursions were worth it, and even helped us map out pre- and post-cruise options in Athens. We never once felt overwhelmed or unsure—just excited and relaxed. T

Brandy Nelson
VIP in Edinburgh
I recently had the most unforgettable vacation in Edinburgh, thanks to the exceptional team at Abundant Moments and Memories. From the moment I reached out, Adriane and her team made me feel like a VIP, handling every detail with precision and care. Every recommendation was spot-on—from a boutique hotel with stunning views to a curated itinerary that balanced culture, history, and leisure. Wandering the Royal Mile, exploring Edinburgh Castle, and enjoying authentic Scottish cuisine felt like a dream. Adriane even arranged a private whisky tasting I never would’ve found on my own. They anticipated every need, from Military Tattoo tickets to cozy rainy-day spots. Their passion for crafting meaningful experiences made my trip even more special. I’m still reminiscing and already counting down the days until I can book with them again!
