About

A former pharma exec who, in her career, has traveled to most of the places you would like to go. My pirate husband* has been to all the places you don’t!

Travel style

I believe travel, at its essence, is the process of transforming our dreams into stories we can tell. At this stage in my life, I have realized that traveling by cruise ship is magical! Once you find an itinerary you love with a cruise line with the amenities you seek (and the selection is endless!), you only have to board and unpack once! And if it’s the right cruise line – you don’t even have to unpack! The butler does it for you! Whether it’s ocean or river, ten nights or 180, luxury cruises are my idea of the perfect way to see the world.

The good news? There is virtually a cruise line and itinerary for any trip and situation you can imagine. Would you like to combine that with a safari? I can make that happen. Pre- and post-cruise trips can enhance any cruise vacation. My husband and I always do this with our trips.

When looking for your luxury cruise experience, let me help you navigate the complexity of choices available. As a Fora Advisor and a Virtuoso member, I can add special perks for you once on board. Let’s talk about how we can transform your dreams into stories you can tell.

*My pirate husband spent his career as a Chief Engineer in the Merchant Marine!

Amy's reviews

Very responsive. When a problem occurred with the hotel-booking, hopped on the phone with the hotel right away. She was also persistent with getting the booking right and eventually the hotel corrected it.

Great.

She is the most exceptional agent. She gave us more information than we could have asked for. No detail was left out. We will always book our trips with her!
