Alaska Cruise &
Cruise Tour Specialist

​

Financial Reasons:

• My services cost you no additional planning fee. In most cases, you won't pay more than you would booking directly with the cruise line or supplier.

• I can book all major cruise brands and access the same publicly advertised cruise offers available directly through the cruise line or supplier.

• 99% of my Royal Caribbean cruise bookings include additional onboard credit.

• I have access to group rates with refundable deposits on many Royal Caribbean sailings.

• Celebrity group rates may include a Classic Drink Package, Basic Wi-Fi and refundable deposits until final payment.

• Group rate availability is also available on select Norwegian Cruise Line sailings, with additional perks.

• My agency may have access to special promotions, group rates and amenities that aren't available when booking directly.

• I compare available promotions and fare options so you aren't simply booking the first price you see.

Experience:

• I have sailed on 45+ cruises across multiple cruise lines. Firsthand experience makes a difference when you're trying to decide which ship, itinerary or cruise line actually fits you.

• I specialize in Alaska cruises and Alaska Cruise Tours, including firsthand experience traveling through Denali, the Yukon, Glacier Bay and Alaska by cruise, rail and motorcoach.

• I have extensive experience with Holland America Line, particularly its Alaska cruises and land-and-sea Cruise Tours, and understand how much the individual itineraries can differ.

• I help clients compare things that aren't always obvious when booking online... time in port, days in Denali, rail versus motorcoach transportation, land-first versus cruise-first itineraries, cabin choices and what is actually included.

• I book approximately 95% of my business through referrals and have a high level of repeat business.

• I am a Certified Travel Advisor with The Travel Institute and an Elite Cruise Counsellor with Cruise Lines International Association. Continuing education is a priority because my clients benefit from it.

• My job isn't simply to book what you found online. It's to make sure what you've researched is accurate, explain the differences and help you determine whether there is a better option.

Support & Advocacy:

• I am available from the time you book until you return home, not just until your payment is processed.

• When things go wrong and occasionally they do, I have supplier contacts, industry resources and experience to help.

• My experience can also help prevent problems before they happen by catching important details early.

• You have one person who knows your trip and your preferences, rather than starting over with a different call-center representative every time you have a question.

• I provide guidance on the details that can become overwhelming after booking, including apps, check-in, dining, transfers, accessibility needs, pre and post cruise arrangements and other trip-specific information.
