Cruise Expert- Viking,Celebrity and AmaWaterways
I love helping my clients find the perfect itinerary on the perfect ship on the perfect cruise line for them. People always ask me, "What is your favorite cruise line?" and I say, "It all depends on who all is traveling (ages and interests), what you want to see, do and experience and what time of year you will be traveling. I am certified and experienced in group travel (which requires a very different skill set than just 2 people traveling alone) and accessible travel so I make sure every member of your party travels well and travels safely. With elite booking status on Viking, Regent Seven Seas, Cunard, AmaWaterways, Celebrity, Disney and Princess Cruise lines, I have access to special VIP amenities and promotional offers.

Client Testimonials
White Glove Service for This Large Group
"Jackie,
Thank you for everything you did over the last year to make this trip so special. You and John are terrific at what you do, and you are a joy to work with."
These clients wanted to celebrate their marriage by renewing their vows aboard ship in the presence of their dear friends. I contacted my national sales rep for the cruise line, the ship's Onboard Team and Groups Coordinator to discuss everything we could do to make this a once-in-a-lifetime event for this sweet couple. We were able to order cakes and drinks, decorations, a special photographer, and a visit from the Captain to make this event perfect. When the lovely couple arrived, the room was filled with their smiling friends, flowers and candles- it was truly breathtaking and they were so kind to send me photos of the ceremony. It was such a blessing to be able to talk with the land team and the ship crew to work together to plan this beautiful ceremony for this beautiful couple. That is why I love what I do!!
