Cruise Planning

The right cruise, not just any cruise

Cruise websites make it look simple. In reality, the choice is overwhelming — hundreds of ships, thousands of itineraries, cabin categories that don't explain themselves, and pricing that changes depending on when and how you book.

I cut through that. I find out what kind of cruise experience you're after — relaxed or active, ocean or river, formal or casual — and match you with the right ship and route. No guesswork, no hours of comparison.

Ocean and river cruises

Whether it's a Mediterranean sailing, a Norwegian fjords expedition, a Caribbean island-hopper, or a river cruise through the Danube — I know the ships, the routes and the cabins. I'll tell you which deck to avoid, which itinerary gives you the best port time, and whether the upgrade is worth it.
