Concierge Service for Cruise Planning and Booking

While raising 5 children, I believed travel was one of the best educations I could give them. Over the years I have planned dozens of trips throughout Europe, the Caribbean and the U.S. for our family and friends, while keeping an eye out for ways to keep costs down without sacrificing a fantastic, immersive and even luxurious experience. Today, now that my kids are grown, I do a lot of traveling and enjoy cruises. When planning, I focus on personally tailored vacation days that seek ways to make the most out of your vacation time and budget for whatever stage of life you are at.  Using my travel planning services can save you time and money while giving you peace of mind that I will search and find you to best options to fit you!

Expedition and Adventure Cruise Specialist

Expedition and Adventure Cruise Specialist

<p>Swap the Deckchair for Discovery! True adventure craves knowledge, immersion, and a thirst for the extraordinary. And what better way to satiate those interests than with an expedition cruise, designed by scientists for the curious soul? Buckle up, fellow nature enthusiasts, because I'm here to ignite your inner biologist with the wonders of these niche voyages.</p>
<p>As an advanced biology teacher for over 10 years, my love for the wonders of the natural world draws me to the expedition cruise experience. Expedition cruises offer unparalleled access to untouched ecosystems around the globe, guided by specialists who aren't just tour guides, but passionate researchers. Imagine navigating the icy fjords of Spitsbergen, spotting polar bears on the prowl, and learning about glacial geology from onboard experts. Or picture yourself snorkeling coral reefs with a marine biologist, unearthing the secrets of volcanic islands with a geologist or witnessing Darwin's finches and tortoises in action on the Galapagos Islands. These aren't passive spectator experiences; they're immersive learning adventures in which you can contribute to ongoing research and conservation activities.</p>
