Cruises

Every way to sail

Big ships, river boats, luxury suites and whole-family groups. Here's how I can help with each.

Sunset over a calm ocean

Ocean cruise

Ocean cruises

The classic cruise vacation: unpack once and wake up somewhere new. Popular from Southern California are Mexican Riviera and Baja sailings from Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego, plus Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Europe.

  • Matching the ship to your style: lively, relaxed, family or adults-only
  • Cabin choice: location, balcony or suite, and what's worth the upgrade
  • Watching for promotions and price drops after you book

River cruise

River cruises

Small ships on Europe's great rivers, like the Danube, Rhine and Seine, docking right in town. Most excursions, wine with dinner and Wi-Fi are typically included.

  • Choosing the river and season (spring tulips, summer, holiday markets)
  • Pre- and post-cruise hotel stays and flights
  • Comparing what each line includes

Luxury cruise

Luxury & small-ship cruises

All-inclusive fares, spacious suites, exceptional dining and small ships that reach harbors big ships can't. From the Mediterranean to expedition voyages in Alaska and beyond.

  • Suite selection and what's really included
  • Private excursions and special occasions
  • Ultra-luxury, expedition and yacht-style options

Group cruise

Group cruises

Family reunions, milestone birthdays, weddings, clubs and friend trips. I set up the group, keep cabins together and manage the details so you can enjoy it.

  • Group space held while everyone decides
  • One point of contact for payments and questions
  • Ideas for group dinners, excursions and celebrations

Group cruise details. Optional: an upcoming hosted group sailing you're organizing, with ship, dates and a sign-up link.

Never cruised before? Perfect. I'll explain how it all works: what's included, what costs extra, how to pick a cabin, what to pack and what embarkation day looks like.

  • A ship and itinerary matched to you
  • Plain-English answers, no pressure
  • A pre-cruise checklist so nothing is missed
