Independent Cruise & Travel Advisor

Cruises and Vacations, Booked by Someone You Can Call.

I’m Amanda. I specialize in cruises and plan land trips too. Tell me where you want to go and who’s coming, and I’ll find a ship and cabin that fit, then handle the paperwork.

Tell Me About Your Trip

I’ll get back to you within a day or two. It costs nothing to ask.

    What are you planning?

    Why Book Through Me

    You deal with one person who knows your trip, from the first quote to the day you get home.

    • Picking the Cabin

      I know which cabins sit under the pool deck or next to the elevators, and which ones to grab first.

    • Deals and Perks

      Cruise lines run promotions on onboard credit and drink packages. I keep track and tell you when one is worth taking.

    • Everything Around the Cruise

      Flights, a hotel before you sail, transfers, excursions and travel insurance.

    • When Plans Change

      If a port gets skipped or a flight gets cancelled, you call me instead of waiting on hold with the cruise line.

    Cruises

    Booking a cruise means choosing a line, a ship, a sailing date, a cabin and a dining time before you even look at excursions. I go through those choices with you and tell you what I’d pick.
