The final Spanish city I visited during my Spain adventure was Toledo —where every corner feels like stepping into a postcard! From historic cathedrals to sword shops (yes, real swords!), this city is the perfect blend of charm and culture. Oh I also got pooped on by a bird here, so keep your eyes to the sky 😆💩🕊️

Another day in Spain visiting another beautiful city! Yesterday we spent the day exploring Córdoba, and wow, this city is something else! From the jaw-dropping arches of the Mezquita to wandering the cobblestone streets of the old Jewish Quarter, every corner feels like stepping back in time. Plus, the shopping and dining here are incredible—local boutiques and tapas for days! Definitely a must-visit if you're ever in Spain. Let me help you get there!

Yesterday we traveled by train from Madrid to the beautiful city of Seville, Spain 🇪🇸 we had a super busy day including a city walking tour and several hotel site inspections (more info on the hotels we saw to follow). Here are some of the highlights!

✨ Seville Cathedral: Stepping inside this UNESCO World Heritage site was like stepping back in time. The grandeur of the Gothic architecture left me in awe, and the climb to the top of La Giralda? Absolutely worth it for the sweeping views of the city! Bonus - the climb is up ramps, not stairs!

✨ Royal Alcázar of Seville: Touring this palace felt like walking through a fairytale. Its intricate details, lush gardens, and stunning blend of architectural styles are a must-see! Bonus - several episodes of Game of Thrones filmed here!

✨ Walkable Charm: One of the best parts of Seville is how walkable it is. Strolling through its cobblestone streets, colorful plazas, and lively neighborhoods makes every step an adventure.

✨ A Foodie's Paradise: From traditional tapas to elegant dining, Seville's culinary scene is incredible. Pair your meal with a glass of local wine or sherry for an authentic taste of Spain.

Whether you’re dreaming of a European getaway or looking to add a touch of culture to your next adventure, Seville offers history, beauty, and unforgettable experiences.

Let me help you plan your perfect Spanish escape! 🛫💼

I attended a great deep dive training yesterday with my friends from Norwegian Cruise Line! It was so great to hear about their brand new ship coming in the spring, Norwegian Aqua, and about enhancements to their private island, and all about their new itineraries available for sale!

Some of my favorites are:
🗻Norwegian Encore sailing in Alaska! I sailed on this ship in Alaska in August with my family and we had such an amazing vacation! I also have discounted cabins available for a specific week next summer, I’d love to help you get on this ship at a great rate!
🇧🇲 I am beyond excited that the Norwegian Breakaway will be sailing Boston to Bermuda starting in 2026! This is a beautiful ship (which I sailed on last year) with so many fun amenities for kids! We are so lucky that we’re going to have this ship sailing right from Boston to one of my favorite destinations ever, Bermuda!
🚢 I want to go anywhere that the Norwegian Prima, Viva or Aqua are sailing! This new ship class is stunning, you need to experience it first yourself! 🤩

Are you considering a cruise vacation? Let me help you navigate the differences between cruise lines, ships and itineraries! I would love to help you with your cruise vacation plans!

🌊🚢 This past week I had the opportunity to attend a ship inspection aboard the Azamara Journey! With a cozy guest capacity of only around 700, these boutique cruises offer an intimate, luxurious experience that really stands out from the rest.

From gourmet dining to immersive excursions, Azamara is all about unique, culturally rich experiences in ports that larger ships simply can’t reach. Imagine waking up to a new city each day, exploring hidden gems, and enjoying world-class service every step of the way.

I had several clients sail Azamara in Europe over the summer and they visited ports such as Monte Carlo, St. Tropez and Sorrento 🤩

Are you ready to discover a different way to cruise? Reach out, and let’s plan your unforgettable journey with Azamara! 🌏✨
