I fell in love with cruising in 2022, during what was supposed to be a one-time Mediterranean getaway. Truthfully? We didn’t think cruising was for us. The idea of dressing up every night, being “stuck” on a ship, or following rigid schedules sounded like the opposite of vacation. But from the moment we stepped onboard, everything changed. That first 7-night sailing was electric—stylish yet relaxed, social yet serene. No tuxedos required (unless you want to), and the only thing more exciting than the destinations was the journey itself. We discovered floating luxury, world-class dining, sunsets on deck, and a rhythm of travel that felt effortless.

Fast-forward: nine cruises later—with nine more on the horizon—I’ve officially become that person who always brings up cruising at dinner parties. And now, I help others discover how extraordinary life at sea can be.
