Group travel is wonderful — until someone has to plan it.

Coordinating ten or more cabins is a different job than booking one. Someone has to track deposits, hold cabin blocks, compare excursions, and answer the same question umpteen times. Usually that someone is the person who had the idea — and by departure day, they need the vacation more than anyone.

That's the job I take off your plate. I plan a limited number of group trips each year — roughly one per season — so every group gets real attention, not a booking-engine experience. You bring the people and the occasion; I bring the logistics, the supplier relationships, and the calm.

Cruises on the water. Adventures on land.

Group Cruises

Cabin blocks, group perks, dining and excursion coordination — handled. I specialize in Virgin Voyages sailings and support major cruise lines across Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, and beyond.

Land Vacations & Tours

Resorts, tours, and destination stays built around your group — from all-inclusive island escapes to once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list trips, with tailored itineraries and stress-free booking support.

Destinations I've personally supported for clients:

Alaska — cruise & land Hawaii The Maldives Panama Canal Mexico Jamaica Bahamas Dominican Republic Aruba Southern Caribbean

Whatever brings you together, I'll get you there.

Group trips mark the moments that matter. If yours is on this list — or nothing like it — let's talk.

From first call to bon voyage.

Discovery call

We start with a free 30-minute conversation — your destination ideas, dates, group size, cruise or land, the experience you're after, and the occasion behind it all.

Tailored proposal

I research suppliers, compare options, and bring back a recommendation built for your group — itinerary, pricing, and the details that make the trip fit the people.

Group coordination & booking

Once you say go, I handle the bookings — cabin and room blocks, deposits and payment schedules, traveler details, and the follow-ups that keep everyone on track.

Trip support

From excursion recommendations to the questions that come up along the way, I stay in your corner through departure — so the organizer gets to be a traveler too.

What does this cost you?

You never pay me a planning fee. My compensation comes through the travel suppliers — the cruise lines, resorts, and tour operators your group books with. You get a dedicated planner, your group gets a smoother trip, and the price of admission is a conversation.

"Real experience. Real talk. Real results."
