About Me

Cruise smarter. Vacation better.
Cruise smarter. Vacation better.

There’s something different about cruise travel. You unpack once. The horizon keeps changing. Dinner feels like an event. The ship becomes its own little world, and for a few days or a few weeks, that world is entirely yours.

I plan ocean and river cruises for travelers who want clarity before they commit. Ship size, itinerary pacing, stateroom categories, dining programs, embarkation logistics – the choices matter more than most people realize. A Disney Cruise to the Bahamas is a completely different experience than a Viking river voyage through the Rhine. Norwegian and Royal Caribbean bring their own energy, scale, and sweet spots. The right cruise feels seamless and exactly like you. The wrong one feels crowded, rushed, or like you paid too much for the wrong things.

The destinations matter, too: a Caribbean cruise full of fun in the sun, an Alaskan itinerary that puts icy glaciers within arm’s reach, a Mediterranean route where you wake up in a different ancient port every morning, a European river cruise where the towns are small and the scenery never stops. Each one calls for a different ship, a different pace, a different kind of planning. I help you figure out which one is actually right for you.

And because cruises rarely stand alone, I design the full arc – flights, transfers, pre- and post-stays – so nothing feels like a loose end. You board ready. You disembark already wishing you could go back.

JUST EXCEPTIONAL!
Reviewed By Monique - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
We had such an incredible experience working with Chris — he truly went above and beyond at every stage of the process. From the initial planning, he made everything feel easy and manageable, walking us through options, making thoughtful recommendations, and handling all the details so we didn’t have to stress about anything. What made it even more special was that we ended up on the same Disney Destiny cruise as Chris and his family. Knowing he was there and accessible gave us so much peace of mind. Anytime we had a question or needed help with something, big or small, he was right there, responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure we were having the best possible experience. It’s rare to find someone who is this attentive and thoughtful both before and during a trip. Chris doesn’t just plan travel. Chris makes the entire experience feel effortless and memorable. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Absolute travel magic!
Reviewed By Mokina S - Jersey City, NJ | Traveled to Florida | USA
Chris has planned several magical adventures for our family. His taste is impeccable and his knowledge of all things Disney is truly boundless. Chris deployed his logistical wizardry when picking the perfect hotel for our tastes and booking our dinner reservations. He ensured we didn’t waste a moment inside the parks, while creating an experience that was both joyful and relaxing. I will always work with Chris when we travel to Disney - his expertise and passion are unparalleled, and that makes all the difference!

A wonderful family vacation
Reviewed By John and Susan - Brooklyn NY | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
We just worked with Chris for the second time - and cannot recommend him highly enough. Chris helped us to plan each park day, obtain passes and dinner reservations, and even secure a hotel room with the view we were hoping for. The assistance he provided allowed us to avoid any stress both in the planning phase and on the actual trip - which allowed us to maximize our time to be in the moment and have fun as a family. We had an amazing vacation, and are so grateful for Chris's help!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Bucket list trip to Europe
Reviewed By Yvonne Sandoval - Kenner La | Traveled to Disneyland Paris | France | Europe
Chris was very helpful in planning my trip out of the country. He helped me get accommodations in Paris, London, and Disneyland Paris. He secured transportation from the airport and train to London. He also gave me suggestions when I was making my plans. The process was very easy to make payments. I love the daily itinerary that he prepared.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
