From Traveler to Travel Advisor

Helping You Plan a Vacation You Can't Wait to Take

Hi, I'm Danielle.

My love for cruising started the same way it does for many travelers: with my own first cruise. And like a lot of first-time cruisers, I quickly learned just how many decisions go into planning the right trip. Choosing the ship, itinerary, stateroom, dining, excursions, packages, and all the little details can become overwhelming fast.

That experience eventually became part of the reason I created Royal Serene Travel. I wanted travelers to have someone in their corner who could simplify the process, answer the questions they didn't even know they needed to ask, and help them feel confident about their vacation from the very beginning.

Today, travel planning is my full-time career. I specialize in cruises and have completed extensive training and certifications with most of the major cruise lines. Because I'm not tied to one cruise line or supplier, my goal isn't to fit you into a particular vacation. It's to find the vacation that fits you.

And while cruises are a big part of what I do, Royal Serene Travel goes beyond the ship. I can also help with all-inclusive resorts, group travel, honeymoons and romantic getaways, hotels, transportation, excursions, travel protection, and the extra details that bring the entire trip together.

Whether you already know exactly where you want to go or have no idea where to start, I'll help you sort through the options, understand what you're booking, and take care of the details along the way.

You bring the vacation dreams. I'll help make the planning stress-free.

  • Cruise bookings across virtually any line, ship, and itinerary

  • Pre- and post-cruise hotel stays

  • Transfers to and from the port

  • Shore excursions

  • Cruise tour add-ons, multi-day land tours before or after your cruise, like a Denali excursion ahead of an Alaska sailing

  • Travel insurance and protection plans

  • Accessible cabin selection for travelers who need it

  • Special onboard accommodations, like arranging CPAP water in your cabin
