Love at first sight doesn’t even BEGIN to express how I feel about MSC Seashore, I was instantly impressed!

From the moment I walked into the gorgeous atrium and was greeted by the smiling crew to experiencing the Ocean Cay Marine Reserve in the Bahamas, I knew this was a place my clients had to experience.

I’m absolutely head over heels for this ship, and here’s why it should be on your list:

++Love food? You're in luck! Dine in the included main restaurant or buffet and select from so many hot and fresh options! Kids have their own buffet line too!
++Love to rejuvenate? The ship has an expansive spa with thermal suite! Book a massage, relax in the thermal area, or get your favorite hair or nail services done!
++Prefer quiet? This ship is on the larger side and has so many secluded areas to relax! You'll find shady spots or full-on sun, several hot tubs, a covered pool, and plenty of music and fun if you prefer that too!
++Taking the kids? They'll enjoy the included kid's club open daily (even in port), basketball, waterpark (shaded), water slides, pools, and more!

I can‘t get enough of Virgin Voyages.

I‘m about to book a client‘s cruise for a couples trip this winter, and there are so many options, it's hard to choose!

I thought I‘d share a shortlist of itineraries and experiences that I love on Virgin Voyages, some that the client didn't choose, but I'll share which they did.

++5 nights to Grand Turk Island in the Turks & Caicos and the Beach Club at Bimini
++4 nights to Key West and the Beach Club at Bimini
++5 nights to Puerto Plata and the Beach Club at Bimini
++6 nights to Grand Turk, Puerto Plata, and the Beach Club at Bimini

The client ended up selecting this itinerary in December! 8 nights to San Juan, Tortola, St Maarten, Barbados, Fort-de-France, Castries, and Basseterre!

Have you cruised Virgin Voyages yet? Did you know that they are exclusively adults and don't nickel and dime?

Here’s the thing about planning and booking trips…

When you work with me, you’re basically calling in the travel planning cavalry to make planning and taking the trip SO much easier.

I plan trips for my clients to destinations like St Thomas or the Mediterranean, and that includes:

✨ A Tailored Experience: I don’t just pull from a shelf of pre-packaged vacations—you’ll receive an itinerary that reflects your unique travel style and interests.

🏨 Expert Recommendations: Every hotel or resort I suggest has been carefully vetted by me. You’ll get honest, first-hand insights, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

🌐 Global Connections: It’s not just me behind the scenes. I collaborate with trusted partners worldwide to make sure you‘re taken care of, no matter where you‘re headed.

🤝 Collaborative Planning: While I handle the heavy lifting, the process is still very much a partnership. I make sure planning is as stress-free as possible while you get excited.

Ready when you are to make travel planning (and taking the actual trip) so much easier for you!

Let’s dive into the world of best family cruises in Alaska for a moment!

Right now, if I had to choose my top five for an unforgettable Alaskan vacation, these would be at the top of my list:

1. Disney Cruise Line - Disney Wonder | Perfect-sized for families, it is smaller than the mega ships, but offers all the usual Disney magic! Cabins are perfect for families with bunk beds and split bathrooms. You'll find photo ops with the Fab Five, princesses, and more! As usual, Disney has excellent shows and entertainment onboard and also has spaces for adults only!

2. Carnival - Carnival Spirit/Miracle | Carnival carries more kids than any other cruise line and this ship features plenty for everyone to enjoy! Enjoy the adults-only Serenity retreat while the kids enjoy Camp Ocean! Another smaller ship, you will find larger cabins than on many newer ships, plus an onboard water park, mini golf, and a covered pool.

3. Royal Caribbean - Quantum of the Seas | Larger than the other ships on our list, this ship boasts zip lines, ice skating rinks, the AquaTheater, skydiving simulator, basketball court, bumper cars, and more! Unique to this class of ships is the North Star, taking you hundreds of feet above the ship for amazing views!

4. Princess Cruise Line - Sun Princess | A brand new ship that offers so much! This mega ship will debut in Alaska in 2026 and offers ropes courses, kids clubs, the beautiful Piazza, and more spaces for adults and kids alike! Princess is simply the best in Alaska, so you can't go wrong on any Princess cruise to the last frontier!

5. Norwegian Cruise Line - Norwegian Encore | You will find laser tag, go-karts, VR pavilions, and a water park! This ship offers excellent entertainment as well and the Social Comedy Club. Norwegian is a great option with their included Free at Sea perks on all cruises.

But here’s the thing—no two trips are alike. Your perfect vacation should be planned around you, your interests, and your travel goals.

Once I get to know your travel preferences, I can craft recommendations that are a perfect fit.

I recently received this question in an email: (answer in comments)

When is the best time to take an Alaskan Cruise? I want to surprise my husband with a cruise for his 50th b-day. Not on his birthday, but planned. He (we) would want to see bears (especially if we can see them catching salmon at the falls), a bear tour, hike in the gorgeous forests, aurora borealis, outside activities. So, I'm thinking we need to be there in the warmer months.

-Carnival Cruise Line today announced its lineup of 2026/27 cruises from two of its U.S. homeports: Tampa and Mobile. The new cruise vacations are now available for booking for sailings to popular destinations including The Bahamas, the Caribbean and the Panama Canal.

✨ One of the things I love most about traveling is discovering those unexpected little treasures that aren’t in the guidebooks and Google articles yet.

And the best part? I get to pass these hidden gems on to my clients to make their trips even more special! 🌍

While it might seem like I’m just out there having a blast (and yes, I totally am!), I’m also on the lookout for unique spots to recommend.

For example, when I visited Bergen, Norway in 2023, I came across a charming outdoor market that’s now a must-see for clients who enjoy exploring and experiencing local food and culture.

Have you ever found a hidden gem while traveling? I’d love to hear about it! 💬✨
