The World Awaits.
We'll Take You There.

Online booking platforms show you what they want to sell — not necessarily what's best for you. A travel advisor has access to exclusive rates, cabin categories, and perks that are never listed publicly. More importantly, we know the industry inside out: which ships have the best solo-friendly policies, which itineraries are worth the price, and which to avoid. When something goes wrong — a missed connection, a changed itinerary, a medical emergency at sea — you have a real person in your corner fighting for you. No chatbot can do that.

In most cases, no — and often it costs less. Travel advisors are typically compensated by the cruise lines and travel suppliers through commissions, meaning our service is free or low-cost to you. On top of that, we frequently secure onboard credits, complimentary upgrades, priority embarkation, and exclusive amenity packages that you simply cannot get by booking direct. The value we add almost always exceeds any nominal service fee.

A single supplement is an extra charge — sometimes 50–100% of the base fare — that cruise lines impose on solo travelers occupying a cabin designed for two. It's one of the most frustrating aspects of solo travel. As a specialist in solo cruising, we know exactly which cruise lines offer solo-specific cabins with no supplement, which sailings have supplement waivers, and how to time bookings to take advantage of promotional periods. Eliminating or reducing the single supplement can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars per voyage.

Absolutely — in fact, first-time cruisers benefit the most from working with an advisor. The cruise industry is vast and complex, with hundreds of ships, itineraries, cabin categories, and dining options. We'll walk you through everything: what to expect onboard, how to choose the right cruise line for your personality, what to pack, how to navigate ports, and how to make the most of every day at sea. We'll turn what could be an overwhelming process into an exciting one.

We handle everything. Beyond the cruise itself, we book your international and domestic flights (including business class), pre- and post-cruise hotel stays, airport and port transfers, shore excursions, and comprehensive travel insurance. Our goal is to be your single point of contact for the entire journey — from the moment you leave your front door to the moment you return home.

Travel insurance is not optional for luxury travel — it's essential. A single medical evacuation at sea can cost $50,000 or more. Trip cancellation coverage protects your investment if life intervenes before departure. We work with multiple insurance providers and will recommend a plan tailored to your specific trip, health considerations, and risk tolerance. We've seen insurance save clients thousands of dollars, and we've seen the financial devastation that comes from skipping it. We strongly recommend it for every trip we plan.

We specialize in the luxury and ultra-luxury segment: Silversea, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Crystal, Viking, Cunard, and Azamara, among others. We also work with premium lines like Celebrity and Holland America for clients seeking excellent value. Our focus is always on quality, service, and finding the right fit for each individual traveler — not pushing a particular brand.

For luxury and ultra-luxury sailings, we recommend booking 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular itineraries and peak seasons. Solo cabins in particular are limited and sell out quickly. That said, we also monitor last-minute deals and can sometimes find exceptional value within 60–90 days of departure. The earlier you reach out, the more options we have to work with.

This is where having a travel advisor is invaluable. If a flight is cancelled, a port is skipped, or a medical issue arises, you have a dedicated professional working on your behalf — not a call center reading from a script. We maintain relationships with cruise line representatives and can escalate issues quickly. Combined with the right travel insurance, you'll have a safety net that no DIY booking can provide.
