Luxury Ocean & River Cruise Travel Advisor

Hi, I’m Shelly—and cruising isn’t just what I do for a living, it’s who I am.


I’m a luxury cruise travel agent, ocean cruise specialist, and river cruise expert with  more than 30 years of sailing experience. I still get that same spark  of excitement every time I step on board. I live, breathe, and  unapologetically obsess over cruises. My happy place? Watching the wake  behind the ship at night or sipping a mimosa on my balcony as the sun  comes up over a brand-new port.


I help couples plan romantic, stress-free cruise vacations,  families make the most of school breaks without the chaos, and seasoned  travelers find new adventures—whether that’s on oceans, rivers, or  somewhere in between. Cruises aren’t one-size-fits-all, and my specialty  is matching you with the one that fits your travel style perfectly.


If you’re into ocean cruising, I’ve got you covered—

  • Luxury voyages with Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and Azamara for all-inclusive elegance, personalized service, and destination immersion itineraries.

  • Celebrity Cruises with suite-level perks for an upscale-yet-modern vibe

  • Royal Caribbean for family-friendly cruises packed with activities

  • Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) for flexible fun at sea

  • Virgin Voyages for stylish, adults-only escapes

Prefer to slow it down on the rivers? I work with:

  • AmaWaterways for approachable luxury that works for couples, friends, and multi-generational families

  • Viking River Cruises for culture-rich itineraries and elegant design

  • Avalon Waterways for laid-back luxury with panoramic suites and views

  • Celebrity River Cruises debuting in 2027—bringing Celebrity’s modern luxury and award-winning service to Europe’s most iconic rivers

Whether this is 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!
