Your Greater Phoenix area Travel Agency and River Cruise Specialists

Most people dream of exploring new destinations or returning to favorite places—but finding the time and expertise to plan the perfect getaway can be a challenge. That’s where I come in. With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I design unforgettable vacations tailored to your unique interests and needs. Whether you're dreaming of a cruise, an all-inclusive resort stay, a guided group tour, or a customized independent itinerary, I’ll handle the details so you can focus on the excitement ahead. My passion for travel began at 17 with my first cruise aboard the SS Dolphin. That experience sparked a lifelong love of exploring the world, from cruising again the following year to embarking on my first European adventure at 19. I’ve since had the privilege of turning that passion into a career—including seven years working onboard Celebrity Cruises, three years at the beautiful Westin Kierland, nine years in private aviation—and, in 2014, I proudly launched my own business as a Franchise Owner and Travel Advisor with Cruise Planners. Creating meaningful travel experiences is more than just my job—it’s what I love. Let me help you plan a journey that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Get in touch today, and let’s start planning your next adventure.
