My interests are many but one of my first loves in traveling is cruising. I have been on more than 40 cruises all over the world including river cruising and trans-Atlantic crossing. I hold two certificates with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), both the Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC) and the Master Cruise Counselor (MCC). I have also completed the Princess Cruise Line and Cunard Cruise Line specialist programs achieving the rank of Commodore in both. Cruise lines I have sailed on include: Cunard, Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, Carnival, Norwegian, Regent, Orient, Viking River, Windstar Cruises, Majestic (American Queen). And on these lines I have enjoyed, the Caribbean, Mexico, Panama Canal, South America, Alaska, Mediterranean, Baltic, Amstel River and the mighty Mississippi to name a few. My interest in travel doesn’t stop there. I have traveled all over Europe and especially enjoyed rail travel from Paris to Venice. From Iceland to Italy and destinations in between, I can’t say there is a place I wouldn’t recommend! I have also traveled to all four major islands in Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. Of all the beaches I have visited around the world I think Hawaii holds the prettiest. And of course, no passport is required! Another travel favorite would be Asia. My first trip to Singapore left me wanting more. I have since returned to Beijing and Hong Kong. Most recently I traveled to Bangkok and Chaing Mai. In Chaing Mai I had the opportunity to visit the elephant camp featured on Animal Planet and see the little elephant, Hang. She creates her own unguided art and has won international acclaim as an artist! For history, art, and value for your dollar, you can’t beat the Asian destinations. I entered this profession with a passion for travel and would enjoy being your personal travel fairy making your travel dreams come true!

Although small in comparison with most cruise ships (less than 250 passengers on board), these ships offer the height of luxury for their lucky passengers. You will be sailing on a working sailing ship yet with all the amenities of a much larger ship. Pools, entertainment, shore excursions, and gourmet dining are all at your fingertips.
You’ll find the pace of these cruises to be more relaxed and casual. Without rigid schedules, you have the opportunity to really enjoy your surroundings and find fellowship with crew members and other passengers.
And for those who geek out on the sailing traditions, each day the Captain will brief you on the day, tell stories of sailing the ocean and offer you a unique opportunity to learn about navigation, tying knots, or even climbing the mast to the crow’s nest. Imagine lying out on the bowsprit and watching the dolphins play underneath you in the bow wave. Plus these small ship can visit intimate ports the big ships can't access.
If you love cruising but want a more personal, hands-on experience, look no further than the Tall Ships of the Star Clipper line. Atlantic crossings range from 16 to 28 nights and sail each spring and fall. Other shorter sailings are available in the Caribbean, Central America, the Mediterranean and the Panama Canal.
Imagine this… You can go up on deck to watch the sunset, and there is nowhere else you have to be. Learn more about Star Clippers here and ask me about my personal experience with Star Clippers. https://www.starclippers.com/us-dom/our-fleet/onboard/life-onboard.html
