Ocean and River Cruise Specialist

Travelers who are in the beginning stages of planning their next vacation are often presented with a labyrinth of options. It can be difficult for both inexperienced and seasoned travelers to analyze their different choices and create an itinerary that is uniquely suited to their needs.

This is when I enter the picture. I am a travel agent who approaches each itinerary that I design as if it is a jigsaw puzzle. I put the entire vacation together one piece at a time, considering how each element impacts the entire trip. At the end of the planning process, my clients have an itinerary that takes into consideration their interests, goals and budget.

I specialize in booking:

  • Cruises — Over the last decade, I have sailed on more than 20 cruises. My adventures on the high seas have allowed me to enjoy a multitude of vessels, itineraries and destinations. I can, in turn, pass my knowledge and experiences onto my clients. In addition to being an avid cruiser myself, I am also certified with many of the top cruise lines in the industry.
  • Family Vacations — I love helping families make memories together that will last a lifetime. I am a College of Disney Knowledge graduate and I also am certified with Universal Studios.

When my clients meet with me, they can expect an in-depth initial consultation where we discuss their hopes and dreams for their next vacation. I take the time to learn about my clients and to understand their personalities. This allows me to craft an itinerary that will exceed their expectations. A vacation is an investment in your time and resources, and a do-over isn't possible. I will make sure your vacation is amazing from start to finish.

She is friendly and knows her stuff. She is so helpful with all the details and explaining things.
Kim - Grand Cayman ~ Cayman Islands ~ Caribbean
Rachel is not only AMAZING but so trustworthy! When we started thinking about where we were going to go for our honeymoon- Rachel came in and gave us the greatest ideas and helped us see ourselves in these different places. She helped us stay in budget without compromising adventure or romance! We choose to go to Riviera Maya!! We ended up needing to get in contact with her while we were there and she was quick to respond and helped us out! Not a single complaint. We recently decided to go on our first cruise and knew we wanted to go back to Rachel! Turns out, she is the “go to person for all things cruises” and she has helped us with every decision and has taken care of us! We will ALWAYS go through Rachel for our big trips and cruises!
