Cruise Planning Consultation

Cruises aren’t cheap—and one wrong move can cost you thousands and ruin the trip you’ve been dreaming about for years. The wrong ship, the wrong itinerary, the wrong season, and suddenly your “dream cruise” is filled with disappointment and regrets.

With 30+ years at sea as a former Onboard Future Cruise Sales Manager, I’ve seen it all—rookie mistakes, overhyped“special deals,” and itineraries that look perfect on paper but disappoint in reality.

I don’t work for cruise lines or travel agencies, so I don’t earn commissions. My advice is 100% independent, with no hidden agenda. My loyalty is to you—always.

Together, we’ll choose the right ship, the best itinerary, the ideal season, and make sure you experience each port of call like a local, not a tourist—while getting maximum value and a fantastic cruise experience.

My Cruise Guides

The Future Cruises Presentation(s) is one of the most popular and attended live event on board cruise ships, which, if presented properly, professionally, informatively and most importantly, enthusiastically, will results in 100's of future cruises bookings made by guests, while on board.

But, once the guests are back at home, it is challenging to find such a focused and detailed event, which is why I launched "My Cruise Guides" Ebooks series, so future (and/or first time) cruisers will not have to spend hours online just researching for the best information, or have to be on a phone for long conversations with different sources.

A Customized Cruise Website

One of the most common challenges we encounter when planning for an upcoming group cruise/travel is how to share important information with everyone.
