“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” – Jacques-Yves Cousteau
I wasn’t expecting to live on a cruise ship for five years when I received my degree in Hotel, Restaurant & Tourism Management, but after working in restaurants and hotels ashore, that is just what I did. As the hotel manager of a small adventure yacht with Uncruise Adventures I traveled to amazing destinations, such as Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska and warm weather places in Central America. Seeing (and hearing!) glaciers calve, watching Humpback whales bubble net feeding, snorkeling with sea lions in Baja Mexico, hiking in lush rainforests in Costa Rica – all experiences one never forgets!
My experiences gave me unique and invaluable insight to help you plan a vacation that you will keep with you for the rest of your life. I love small ship cruising because of its intimacy between guests and staff, and the ability to provide more individual experiences for everyone on board. But there is a cruise experience for everyone, and it would be my pleasure to introduce you to options on the ships and lines you know, or the ones that you may have never heard of before. Prefer the experiences and choices of a larger ship? The style of a super yacht? The adventure of an expedition vessel? My goal is to tailor your vacation to exactly what you’re looking for.
Cruising is also in the forefront of Sustainability, as eco-tourism is driving change in this industry to protect our natural world, and I am happy to help you select more responsible travel choices too.
Of course, you expect great service, but creating an experience you didn’t know you were looking for is what separates me from other advisors. I have intimate knowledge of cruise ships and many of the destinations they explore. I look forward to hearing from you, so together we can plan your next adventure: travel to make you feel alive.
