Custom Itinerary Planning

My service is designed for those who may not know where to begin, are too busy to plan a multi-country trip or simply want the reassurance of an expert behind the details.  From the big picture to the smallest details, I bring everything together to create a seamless journey:


  • Initial consultation - I want to fully understand your travel style, priorities, and what matters most to you, so I can thoughtfully curate a trip that feels just right for you.
  • A seamless itinerary - designed around your interests and pace, with each day flowing naturally into the next.
  • Flight research and route guidance. 
  • Hotel sourcing & booking - in the best location for your trip, chosen with your needs, preferences, and itinerary in mind.  
    • Select stays may include added perks - complimentary breakfast, flexible check-in or check-out and a 24/7 in-country concierge and personal welcome amenity - at no additional cost.
  • Seamless logistics - including transfers, trains, all transportation. 
  • Curated experiences/tour bookings. 
  • A comprehensive, day-by-day digital itinerary - so you always know where you're going, what's planned, and the details you need along the way. Includes country-specific tips, pre-purchased tickets, confirmed reservations, transportation details, and handpicked “gems” to discover during your travels.
  • A personal pre-departure call - before you leave, you and I will do a final review of your itinerary and go through any last minutes questions.
  • Personal support throughout your trip - should anything need attention along the way.

World-Wide Luxury Cruising

There is something wonderfully effortless about cruising - unpack once, settle in, and wake up somewhere new each day.

Luxury cruising - both ocean and river - offers a more intimate way to see the world. Think smaller ships, significantly fewer guests, exceptional service and dining, and a more inclusive, thoughtfully curated experience.

With countless cruise lines, ships, and itineraries to choose from, finding the right fit makes all the difference. And there is plenty to consider and arrange before you even step on board. That's where my experience comes in.

Already have a specific cruise in mind? Just let me know, and I'll take it from there - I'll book your cruise and handle all the important details leading up to your departure.


Cruise Travel Service Includes:

  • Initial consultation - so I fully understand your travel style and find the cruise that's the best fit for you. 
  • Cruise & Stateroom Selection - navigating cruise lines, ships, and itineraries to find the right fit for your travel style, including selecting the ideal stateroom and its location on board.
  • Cruise Planning & Management - managing your booking from start to finish, including dining preferences, special requests, payment schedules, shore excursions, pre-embarkation paperwork, and all the important details leading up to departure.
  • Transfers & transportation - arranging transportation to and from the cruise, so you know how you're getting from one place to the next before you ever leave home.
  • Pre- & post-cruise stays - want to spend extra time exploring before or after your cruise? I'll arrange your hotel stays, transportation, and all the associated logistics.
  • A personal pre-departure call - before you leave, you and I will do a final review of your itinerary and go through any last minutes questions.
