Travel style
I love stepping out of my comfort zone and letting the world surprise me. I celebrate the art of slow, immersive travel that evokes a sense of adventure, discovery, and personal growth. I'm all about traveling in style and tend to veer off the beaten path looking for more authentic local experiences, adventure, and food! I specialize in crafting boutique experiences, Virgin Voyages cruises, and empowering solo journeys.

Had great insights our first cruise, Denise was quick to answer my many questions and gave good recommendations on the hotel and travel to and from the port.

Denise was very attentive to my NYC trip needs! She worked tirelessly to find the perfect hotel to take my son to for our last trip before college! She was immediately available for all my questions and was adaptable when I kept changing my criteria. She even called the hotel to price match and get me the best deal! The trip was a success and I am using Denise Cruz to plan my 50th birthday cruise with 15 of my closest friends!
