World Cruises, Luxury Cruises & River Cruises

Gentoo penguins, Antarctica

I am a longtime luxury Cruise Consultant who excels at arranging World Cruises and Expedition Cruises. I also sell cruises on a wide variety of luxury and premium cruise lines, including small ships and river cruise lines. My personal travels have taken me to all seven continents, including so many interesting and far-flung destinations, from Egypt and the Nile River to Easter Island, Bora Bora Bora, Australia and New Zealand, Antarctica, many European countries several times – and closer to home I’ve been to Alaska at least 100 times. You can see more about the destinations I’ve visited on the map below.  

As part of my ongoing education and efforts to provide recommendations for my clients, here are the ocean cruise lines I have sailed on:

• Holland America Line
• Seabourn
• Silversea
• Celebrity Cruises
• Princess Cruises
• Royal Caribbean
• SeaDream Yacht Club
• Windstar Cruises 

I have done river cruises with Avalon Waterways and I work with many clients on arranging river cruises, including the pre and post-cruise component with luxury hotels. It's a great way to explore a city more in-depth since you have already made the investment to travel somewhere. 

I have had the privilege of expedition cruising with the following companies:

• Tauck Small Ship Cruises (Antarctica)
• Hurtigruten (on board new ship, M/S Roald Amundsen in the Pacific Northwest)
• Hapag Lloyd (on the Hanseatic, from Nome to Seward, Alaska, including the Russian Far East)
• Atlas Ocean Voyages (Scotland/British Isles)
• Silversea (Galapagos Islands)

You can read more in my Specialty Bio about Expedition Cruising. 

I have also inspected cruise ships with the following cruise lines:

• Regent Seven Seas Cruises
• Oceania Cruises
• Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours
• UnCruise Adventures  

The top destinations I sell to are World Cruises, Alaska, Europe, Antarctica and Africa. 

My professional background encompasses travel from multiple viewpoints: first and foremost as a traveler — having been to so many wonderful destinations allows me to provide my clients with tips and insight on destinations that you can’t find elsewhere. Prior to Cruise Specialists, I worked at Holland America Line for 26 years, overseeing sales to wholesale tour operators, such as Abercrombie & Kent and Tauck. I also worked in group, charter, and incentive travel at SeaDream Yacht Club. I encourage family groups and businesses with as little as just 50 guests to consider chartering for your next adventure, making for an even more customized and enjoyable cruise experience. I can effortlessly coordinate the entire process. 

My experience enables me to anticipate and handle all the little things that make for a perfect cruise vacation, no matter what the complexity. This attention to detail and the quality of service I provide is one of the primary reasons my clients come back time and time again!  

As a Cruise Consultant at Cruise Specialists, I have the support of an incredibly strong and experienced team that helps me respond quickly to you. I have direct connections to important resources at every major cruise line. I strive to be at your side and advocate for you when needed. I eagerly await the opportunity to hear from you, learn more about your travel wishes, and plan the perfect vacation for you.
