Advisor Specializing in Luxury Cruises & Tours

Hello! I am so glad that you are here and thinking about, dreaming of, and getting ready to plan your next travel adventure! I have been working in the travel industry since 1989 and my passion for helping people discover the world, relax, and/or find their next adventure has never waned ... it has only grown, in fact! I am so blessed to have made a successful career out of doing what I love.

My 30+ years working in the travel industry have afforded me extensive experience in every sector of travel, from escorted tours to cruises to luxury travel to bespoke packages, and more. I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world and use my personal research to inform my work, for the benefit of my clients (and my own benefit too, of course!) However, my greatest delight and what I am most proud of is providing excellent customer service. In fact, my business has been built almost entirely on referrals and word-of-mouth. Many of my clients have even become my travel buddies. I believe that travel is the cure for many ailments, thus I take my job very seriously and work hard to provide the best possible experience for my clients! 

I can’t wait to help make your travel dreams become a reality. Please call or email me today and let's get started! 

Happy travels,

Kay

Luxury Cruise Expert

<p>Cruising is a fabulous way to visit multiple destinations in one trip without having to mess with extensive travel arrangements. Secure a passport, allow me to book your cruise, and show up at the port when it's time to set sail! It really is an easy, breezy way to experience the world.</p>
<p>However, if you really want a top notch experience, I highly recommend sailing with luxury cruise lines. Luxury cruise lines may come with a higher price tag, but for good reason. First of all, they are all-inclusive, meaning the gratuities, alcohol, shore excursions and more are built into the total cost. This is nice because you know precisely what you are spending from the start and can plan accordingly. Additionally, luxury vessels are smaller and carry less passengers. This ensures that each and every guest receives VIP treatment. There is more staff and space per passenger than average cruising. The service you receive is superior and the accommodations are immaculate. </p>
<p>Some of the luxury cruise lines that I suggest, based on personal experience, are Tauck Small Ships, Seabourn, Viking Ocean, Silversea Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. I have sold many Regent cruises to Alaska - it's a fabulous way to see and experience all that Alaska has to offer! I have also booked luxury cruises to Canada/New England, South America, Europe, the Caribbean, and more.</p>
<p>There is nary a complaint from my customers who sail with luxury cruise lines. It is an experience like no other. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have or share from my personal cruising experiences if you are interested. </p>
<p>Happy Travels!</p>

We use Kay for our travel needs, which are extensive. We love to cruise, and Kay is always there to help us have wonderful experiences. From booking the cruises to hotels she is always on the ball. She remembers details we sometimes tend to forget. She is great to give us tips on what to do and how to do it. While we have traveled to all 7 continents, Europe is probably our favorite.
Sue - Germany ~ Europe
Kay is so easy to work with. She was efficient in getting a cruise for 12 of us scheduled. Because of a hospitalization and rehab, two weeks prior to the cruise, my husband and I were unable to go. I contacted Kay who shared the process and got our cruise canceled. Her guidance through the process of canceling and filing insurance was extremely helpful. She is always prompt in response to any inquiries.
Dora - Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We first met Kay on a trip to Africa that she hosted. Everything went so smoothly and any hick-ups that happened were taken care of effortlessly by Kay. The itinerary she planned was amazing. We traveled to 5 countries and the tours and accommodations she arranged were great.<br/><br/>We have since used her to plan our travels. She takes care of any coordination that is needed and makes sure we get all the discounts that are available. She makes recommendations for add-on adventures. She is so easy to work with.
