Hi! I’m Emily, I believe travel offers a rich cultural impression which can last a lifetime. Travel opportunities are available for any interest. For nature lovers and those who enjoy the outdoors maybe an Alaska cruise viewing the glaciers or hiking the mountains of Switzerland. Maybe a Caribbean island where you can relax, or perhaps a city where you immerse yourself in cultural experiences such as classical concerts in Vienna or museums and beautiful cathedrals in Germany. There is something for everyone, and I would love to help you write a chapter in your travel book and explore a new place creating lifelong memories!

Always keep a small travel bag in your carry-on with essentials like medications, a change of clothes and important documents. If your checked luggage is delayed, you’ll still have everything you need to start your trip comfortably and stress-free!

If you are able to get into a location a day early before a cruise it helps to give a peace of mind so you don’t have to rush, even if there are delays. To get the most out of your time, you also get used to the time zone if it is different and can explore the city for a more in depth feel of the culture at a more relaxed pace to discover local gems.

My passion in travel began young with my family trip to Disney World. In my early 20s, I was hooked on cruising. What a great concept—to see the world by sea. To me, it was like Christmas every morning, seeing a new port of call. I have traveled to several places, including all of the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Alaska, and Europe. My first cruise was on Celebrity and is still my favorite. You will never forget your first cruise. I enjoy working with all clients, whether planning their 1st cruise or 50th—a family vacation, honeymoons and anniversaries, or just to cross off a bucket-list trip. Every day, I learn from clients' experiences as well. Everyone wants a different experience, so I listen to my clients to see how I can best make their dream vacation a reality. This could be by adding a few nights before or after the cruise with one of our VIP packages, or more unique experiences with our Enrichment Journeys.

With today’s techy gadgets being a must when we travel, it’s always best to know ahead about internet accessibility on your trip, whether on air, land, or sea, to avoid any surprises with unexpected charges on your return. Some cell phone companies offer international plans while traveling, which is my go to, or when available, purchasing an internet package is always a good idea to keep you connected with family & friends, allow you to surf the internet and perhaps do a little bragging on social media, why not?
