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!

Guernsey cows on the Guernsey Isle

I recently sail the British Isles with Princess Cruises, round trip from Southampton. This is the perfect way to explore various destinations in the region.  

Here's an overview of my Itinerary

Southampton:

• Embarkation/Disembarkation: Southampton serves as the starting and ending point of your cruise. It is a major port city in England, known for its maritime history and cultural attractions. There are plenty of options for pre and post excursions if you wish.

Guernsey Island:

• Enjoy the chance to explore Guernsey Island. Discover its charming towns, beautiful coastline, and perhaps visit attractions like the Little Chapel. My excursion had only 9 people with Venture Ashore not Princess Shore Tours.

Scotland:

• Visit Inveraray Castle, located in the picturesque town of Inveraray, Scotland. Enjoy a guided tour of the castle and have lunch included. You even have the opportunity to try Haggis, a traditional Scottish dish.


• Luss and Loch Lomond: Explore the village of Luss, known for its quaint beauty, and visit Loch Lomond, a stunning lake in the Scottish Highlands.


• Don’t miss the Overlook "Rest and Be Thankful." Take in the scenery situated along a road in Scotland. It offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape.

Ireland:

• Dock at the port in Cork, Ireland. From there, you can embark on various excursions to explore the region's highlights.


• Shore Excursions Group offers a great tour to visit Blarney Castle and you travel there by way of Irish Rail Tours. Don't miss the opportunity to kiss the Blarney Stone for good luck!


• Explore the museum at the port, which showcases exhibits related to the Titanic and Irish immigration. You may also learn about the graveyard from the people of torpedoed Lusitania.

Wales:

• Visit Port Anglesea, which offers whale-watching opportunities. Enjoy the scenic beauty and keep an eye out for whales


• Explore Caernarfon Castle, a magnificent medieval castle in Wales. It is handicap accessible, allowing everyone to appreciate its grandeur. Caernarfon Castle is historically significant as it is where Prince Charles was invested as the Prince of Wales. This event holds cultural and historical significance. 

Take advantage of Princess Plus which includes: prepaid gratuities, Beverage Package (alcohol, specialty coffee and 2 desserts), & a shore excursion credit of  $50/day. While sailing the British Isles you will experience the amenities and services provided by Princess Cruises, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable journey.
