As an experienced cruise travel agent with nearly 30 years in the industry, I've had the privilege of exploring over 60 cruises across a wide range of brands. This extensive experience has not only deepened my understanding of the cruise industry but has also allowed me to offer unparalleled insights and personalized recommendations to my clients.

Having sailed with numerous cruise lines, including Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, Holland America, and more, I have a comprehensive understanding of each brand's unique offerings, from onboard amenities to destination experiences. This firsthand knowledge enables me to match my clients with the perfect cruise tailored to their preferences and interests.

Over the years, I've witnessed the evolution of cruising, from the introduction of innovative onboard features to the expansion of exotic itineraries worldwide. This continuous learning and adaptation have kept me at the forefront of the industry, ensuring that I can provide top-notch service and expertise to every traveler I assist.

Whether it's crafting unforgettable luxury experiences with brands like Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, Silversea, and Viking River Cruises, or curating family-friendly adventures with Carnival, I take pride in delivering exceptional cruise vacations that exceed expectations. My passion for cruising and dedication to excellence drive me to continuously seek out the best deals, latest trends, and exclusive offerings for my clients, making their cruise dreams a reality.
