About Me

Live Large Cruise Small! Small Ship Specialist

I have been planning cruises for 25 years!   I fell in love with cruising in the 90s when I took my first cruise as a teenager.   Wow have ships changed since then!  I became a travel advisor in 2001 when I was planning my first cruise as a mom.   It was the perfect way for me to combine my love of travel with helping others.

  I strongly believe in backing up my recommendations with experience.   I have tried out almost every cruise line and have visited places all over the world from the North Pole all the way down to the South Pole.  I quickly realized small ships were my favorite.

I had wanted to be a Marine Biologist when I was growing up so once I learned about expedition cruises I knew they were perfect for me.  I love getting to spend time in nature and cruise side by side with naturalists and biologists.  

I now specialize in small ship cruise experiences which includes Adventure/Expedition cruises, River Cruises, Luxury Cruise Lines, and Yacht Charters.   I love everything about what the small ships can offer and think you will too!  

My motto is Live Large - Cruise Small!  You might be wondering what is a small ship?   I would consider any ship that holds 1000 guests or less to be small but they can go as small as a just a dozen guests.  There really is something for everyone and every destination.

Small ships can take you places you would never get to on a big ship.  Plus traveling with less people means no crowds.  Small groups make for a more in depth, personalized, authentic experience.

In just the past couple years I have taken small ship cruises to places like Galapagos, Antarctica, Arctic, Hawaii, Alaska, British Isles, Croatia, Italy, Greece, and the rivers of Europe. 

I also enjoy hosting small groups on cruises where I go along to set up special experiences for my group or just be there to help if they need anything.

I treat each vacation I plan for my clients like it is my own and am readily available to help my clients when they need anything.   I can take care of all the details from pre/post cruise stays, ground transportation, shore excursion recommendations, and even flights.   I have tips to help with all your planning needs so all you really need to do is pack.

Over the 25 years that I have been an agent many of my clients have become close friends and I have watched their families grow.   Some families have been with me long enough for me to see kids grow up, get married, and now travel with kids of their own.  I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of the special memories they make while traveling!
