I’m Kanti, a small ship cruise travel advisor and Mediterranean river cruise specialist.
I help you book calmer, higher-comfort cruise experiences with better ports, better pacing, and zero overwhelm.
What I Plan
- Small-ship ocean cruises across the Mediterranean (Greek Isles, Adriatic, Italy, France/Spain coasts)
- European river cruises with high-inclusion, culturally rich itineraries
- Pre- and post-cruise hotels, transfers, and key logistics
How I Work
- We start with what you're looking for. I have proprietary systems to help us determine your top trip priorities.
- I curate 2 best-fit sailings, walk you through cabin tradeoffs and timelines (deposit, final payment, cancellation terms),
- I then handle the details so you can simply choose and go.
FAQ:
Do you help first-time cruisers? A: Yes - especially if you want guidance without getting upsold.
Q: Can you plan the full trip, not just the cruise? A: Yes - flights, hotels, transfers, and extensions.
Next step: Email or text your trip ideas and let's bring them to life!
Group Small ship and River Cruises
If you’re planning a trip with 8+ travelers, I can structure it as a group booking so you get a smoother process and better coordination.
Best for
- Multi-gen family trips
- Friends’ milestone trips (big birthdays/anniversaries)
- Community groups (clubs, alumni, faith groups)
- Small corporate retreats / incentive travel
What I handle
- Group cabin/room strategy (who goes where, and why)
- Option holds + deadlines + payment schedule clarity
- Guest management support (questions, reminders, logistics)
- Pre/post-cruise add-ons (hotels, transfers, extensions)
- Simple “choose your cabin” flow to reduce back-and-forth
Next Step: Tell me your group size, target month, and destination (Mediterranean or river) and I’ll share options.
