Luxury Ocean & River Cruise Travel Advisor

Hi, I’m Shelly, and cruising isn’t just my career, it’s part of who I am.


I’m a luxury cruise travel professional with more than 30 years of sailing experience, and I still get that same spark of excitement every time I step on board.


I live and breathe cruising. It’s my world.


My happy place? Watching the wake behind the ship at night or sipping a mimosa on my balcony as the sun rises over a brand new port.


As a seasoned travel pro, I help couples plan romantic, stress-free getaways.


I help families make the most of school breaks without the chaos.


And I help seasoned travelers discover new adventures — whether that’s on the ocean, a river, or somewhere in between.


Cruises aren’t one size fits all.
My specialty as a cruise travel professional is matching you with the one that fits your travel style perfectly.


If you’re dreaming of the ocean, I’ve got you covered:


  • Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, and Azamara for all-inclusive elegance and destination-rich itineraries

  • Celebrity Cruises for modern luxury and suite-level perks

  • Royal Caribbean for family-friendly fun

  • Norwegian Cruise Line for flexible adventures at sea 

  • Virgin Voyages for stylish, adults-only escapes


Prefer the rivers?

  • AmaWaterways for approachable luxury with excursions for all activity levels

  • Viking for culture-rich journeys

  • Avalon for laid-back luxury and panoramic views

  • Celebrity River Cruises launching in 2027 for a modern twist on European river sailing


Whether it’s your first cruise or your fiftieth, I make the planning effortless and the journey unforgettable.


You bring the excitement.
I’ll handle the details — from the first click to the last port.


Let's talk!
