Certified Cruise Planning Services
Cruise Planning, Handled From Start to Finish
As a certified cruise travel agent, I plan Luxury & Suite Cruising, Personal Cruise Planning, Group and Family Cruises, and Cruise and Land Tours,
anywhere in the world. Every trip comes with free, personal planning and no added fees, because the cruise lines pay for my service.
What I Plan
Find Your Kind of Cruise
Luxury & Suite Cruising
Premium lines, suite living, and the details
handled long before you board.
A suite or luxury sailing is about more than square footage, it's a different way to experience the ship. Depending on the line and category, that can mean priority embarkation, access to exclusive lounges or dining areas, enhanced service levels, and a quieter, more elevated pace throughout your trip.
Suite perks and inclusions vary significantly by cruise line, ship, and category, so I walk you through what's genuinely included for your specific booking instead of assuming every suite comes with the same benefits. That might mean comparing a full suite experience on one line against a premium balcony upgrade on another, depending on your budget and priorities. I also help you think through timing, since suite inventory is often limited and tends to book early. Once you're booked, I'm available to help with any questions or adjustments as your sailing approaches.
Personal Cruise Planning
A cruise built around just you, or you and your
favorite people.
I take the time to understand your priorities before recommending anything. That might mean comparing itineraries, whether you're looking at Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Virgin Voyages, MSC, or somewhere else entirely, to find the ship and route that actually fits, not just whatever's easiest to book. I also flag things people often miss on their own: cabin location relative to noise and motion, embarkation port logistics, realistic port-day timing, and which add-ons are worth it versus skippable. Once you're booked, I stay available if plans shift or questions come up before you sail.
Group and Family Cruises
Family reunions, friends, and celebrations, all
under one booking.
Group cruises come with their own challenges, different budgets, cabin preferences, and the logistics of keeping everyone booked and confirmed without confusion. I handle that coordination so you're not chasing people down or tracking a dozen reservations yourself, whether it's a family reunion spanning three generations, a milestone birthday trip, a wedding group, or a work incentive trip. I set up group rates, track individual payments and deadlines, and keep cabin assignments organized in one place.
I also help you explore group-specific perks like onboard credit, group dining reservations, and coordinated excursions, availability varies by line and promotion, so I'll walk you through what actually applies rather than assuming a blanket benefit. Throughout the process, I stay in contact with your group's point person, answer individual traveler questions, and make sure payments and documents are in order well before sailing.
Cruise & Land Tours
A sailing paired with a land adventure, planned
as one seamless trip.
Some destinations are best experienced from the water and on land, Alaska paired with a rail journey to Denali, for example, or a cruise combined with pre- or post-stay time exploring a port city. I plan both pieces together as one connected trip, matching your cruise itinerary with a land tour or rail package that fits your timeline, comparing options across cruise lines that offer these combined experiences, and making sure transfers, hotels, and connecting travel between the two portions are accounted for.
Land tour inclusions and routing vary by cruise line and season, so I walk you through what's actually included before you book. Once everything's confirmed, I'm available to help if plans shift or questions come up as your trip approaches.
