World Cruise & Grand Voyage Expert

I am a longtime luxury Cruise Consultant who excels at arranging World Cruises and Grand Voyages. I also sell cruises on a wide variety of luxury and premium cruise lines, on voyages of any length. As the son of an Irishman, I relish my heritage and have been to Ireland 15 times. I would love the opportunity to arrange your travel to this special place in the world!

My personal travels have also taken me to the Western Mediterranean, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Tahiti and Alaska.  

As part of my ongoing education and efforts to provide recommendations for my clients, here are the ocean cruise lines I have sailed on:

  • Seabourn
  • Regent Seven Seas Cruises
  • Royal Caribbean
  • Celebrity Cruises
  • Paul Gauguin Cruises
  • Cunard
  • Holland America Line
  • Norwegian Cruise Line
  • Princess Cruises 

I have also inspected cruise ships with the following cruise lines:

  • Disney Cruise Line
  • Oceania Cruises
  • Ponant 

With expedition cruising also becoming a popular option for inquisitive travelers, I recently cruised in and around the San Francisco Bay area for several days with Lindblad Expeditions/National Geographic. You can read more in my Specialty Bio about Expedition Cruising.  

The top destinations I sell to are World Cruises, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Mediterranean, Canada & New England, and the Caribbean.  

My experience enables me to anticipate and handle all the little things that make for a perfect cruise vacation, no matter what the complexity. This attention to detail and the quality of service I provide is one of the primary reasons my clients come back time and time again!  

As a Cruise Consultant at Cruise Specialists, I have the support of a strong and experienced team that helps me respond quickly to you. I have direct connections to important resources at every major cruise line. I really strive to be at your side and advocate for you when needed. I eagerly await the opportunity to hear from you and learn more about your travel wishes.

World Cruise & Grand Voyage Expertise Details

<p>World Cruises and Grand Voyages are multi-month cruises that take you either around the entire globe, or on an in-depth exploration of an entire region, such as South America & Antarctica, the Mediterranean, Africa, or even the Arctic. A voyage of this length can involve a length and detailed planning process. I excel in tending to the many details of World Cruise consulting – not only helping you choose the best cruise line, world cruise itinerary and stateroom or suite – but taking care of many other things that make the process go seamlessly.</p>
<p>If you are a first-time World Cruiser, I take the time to get to know you and understand your past travel choices, key destinations you want to visit and really find out your expectations. This is part of a personal decision-making process that can only be achieved by working with a World Cruise Consultant. </p>
<p>I also am proud to put the professionalism and expertise of my company, Cruise Specialists, to work for you. <strong>With Cruise Specialists, you receive the best pricing available and access to our popular hosted World Cruise program — now 30 years strong at Holland America Line. We also will provide Voyage Hosts for the 2024 Oceania Cruises World Cruise and the 2024 Princess Cruises World Cruise.</strong> You can only receive the benefits of a dedicated Voyage Host, special on board events and other amenities to be announced by reserving your World Cruise with Cruise Specialists.</p>
<p><strong>More Hosted Cruises & Added Value</strong></p>
<p>At Cruise Specialists, we also offer hosted cruise programs on hundreds of other cruises throughout the year on several cruise lines. This benefit gives you greater value in your cruise vacation than you would have on your own. Additionally, for any cruise, I can arrange your pre and post-cruise hotel stays, any transfers you desire, and much more. This is all made easier by having the backing of Cruise Specialists.</p>

Very easy to work with
Mary - New Zealand
Dan has planned a number of cruises for me over the past few years. He is knowledgeable on the ins and outs of this form of travel and has suggestions that I, who considers herself a fairly knowledgeable traveler, hasn't thought of. Dan unfailingly gets back to me within the day whenever I email him
Barbara - Panama Canal
